If you own a business or even if you’re in charge of a certain unit within an enterprise, you probably want to know what and how many assets are there, where are they located, who is using them, etc. How many times a year do you count your inventory? Once? Maybe twice? And how accurate do you think it is?
Asset tracking is essential for any business and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can often be the perfect way to count that inventory.
When selecting or designing an RFID label for your vehicle tracking application ask yourself these questions. Will a passive tag work? Contrary to popular belief depending on required read range, RFID windshield tags will work for many vehicle tracking applications including access control for secured parking, gated communities, car washes, etc.

The Viper, Metalcraft latest equipment investment, allows us to convert labels faster and get the product to our customers with shorter lead times.
Modern RFID labels these days are often referring specifically designed and maufactured RFID adhesive backed tags or stickers.
In each RFID tag is a chip, antenna and usually the material those items are adhered to, these three items are often referred to as the inlay. RFID tags and labels incorporate the inlays into the tag construction during the converting process adding additional materials for protection and functionality along with print and graphics to help identify, match and, perhaps, brand the the tag for the company for which they were produced.
When choosing an RFID tag, one important but not-often-thought-of decision to make is the frequency of the tag.
Which do you choose?
