TI and RFID4U Propose Smart Processes for RFID Supply Chain

The paper outlines a systematic approach that end users and systems integrators can take to increase the performance of their Ultra-High Frequency (UHF)-based RFID systems. This approach includes establishing a baseline of initial performance, conducting a performance analysis of tags, and factoring in variables in product and packaging materials as well as pallet size and case quantity. The paper also answers the questions, “How do I measure tag performance” and “What parameters are most important?” by providing an overview of the testing types, metrics and pros/cons of static and dynamic methods.
