RFID Tag Testing Methodology

By Francois Berthiaume, Ph.D. The RFID tag testing for this publication was performed at the Rutgers University RFID Research Center. Formed in 2009 through the collaborative efforts of the Rutgers Center for Innovative Ventures of Emerging Technologies (CIVET) and RFID TagSource, it combines laboratory facilities with real world insight into how RFID is being utilized across the globe to provide real business value. With the support of RFID TagSource and the sponsorship of Motorola, Rutgers has undertaken one of the largest ever performance evaluations of UHF EPC Gen2 Passive RFID Tags. The RFID readers and antennas used in this testing were provided by Motorola. The tags were provided by RFID TagSource and a variety of tag manufacturers. All testing was completed in an unbiased academic environment leveraging university resources and was conducted outdoors to eliminate the potential confounding effects of reflective environments to alter test results. All measurements were in free space in a vertical plane. The tags were read face on (0), rotated at 30, and then rotated at 60 (see schematic below). When testing using a handheld reader, the reader was rotated on all planes around its axis, as well as positioned up and down between a height of 1.65' (20") above the ground and up to a height of 7' (84") above the ground.

RFID Tag Testing Methodology

When testing using the fixed reader, the reader/antenna combination was installed on a cart. The tag was mounted in a fixed position and the cart was moved away from the tag in a uniform manner. The cart mounted antenna was rotated, as well as positioned between a height of 1.65' (20") above the ground and up to a height of 7' (84") above the ground. For metal-mounted RFID tags, tags were affixed to the center of an 18" x 20" aluminum sheet. All other tags were placed on a foam board. The results of each test are respectively indicated in the results as metal and air. Motorola RFID readers were used in the testing as they could provide two types of fixed RFID readers and two types of handheld RFID readers, which would yield a broader set of test results that might represent different application and operating environment variables. The RFID readers used in the testing include:
n Motorola MC9090-G Industrial-Class RFID HandheldRugged handheld RFID reader with linear

polarized antenna for warehouse environments and industrial applications. n Motorola MC3090-Z Business-Class RFID HandheldDurable handheld RFID reader for indoor and carpeted space environments like retail and healthcare. The MC3090-Z uses a patented omnidirectional antenna that provides for the longer read ranges of linear polarized antennas with the broader read pattern of circular polarized antennas. n Motorola XR450 Industrial-Class Fixed ReaderRugged fixed reader appropriate for warehouse and back room environments. The Motorola AN480 antenna was used with this reader for testing. n Motorola FX7400 Business-Class Fixed ReaderFixed reader appropriate for indoor and carpeted space environments like retail and healthcare. The AN720 and AN480 antennas were used with this reader for testing. Notice: test results are based on the conditions found at the Rutgers University lab. Results may vary in different conditions. Additional reader and antenna specifications can be found at the Motorola RFID reader product pages. www.motorola.com/rfid This report represents UHF passive RFID tags that were available at the time of research and may not include tags, or successor tags, that may have become available after the research was conducted.

RFID Tag Selection

By Kevin Donahue, Managing Director, RFID TagSource RFID tag selection is often the most critical part of any RFID implementation; projects will not move forward until an appropriate tag can be found that will support the stated application require ments. The effort required to perform product evaluations across a variety of tags is time consuming, expensive and generally not a core competency for individuals deploying RFID solutions. This guide has been developed to help organizations quickly identify the tags that meet their requirements and to move efficiently forward toward successful RFID project deployment. The results documented herein serve as a tag performance benchmark, as tag suitability depends on many factors that cannot be completely modeled outside of the application environment.
Definitions

Kevin Donahue Managing Director RFID TagSource

All of the tags evaluated within this report follow the EPC Gen2 UHF Passive RFID Standard. EPC Gen2 RFID tags are made up of an integrated circuit (IC or chip) and a passive tag antenna. These two components together comprise the inlay and most often are are integrated into a pressure sensitive adhesive label. The key differentiating features of these tags are the chip manufacturer and antenna design; the same label packaging can be used on any standard inlay. Often referred to as Smart Labels, these are the tags most associated with supply chain applications such as those promoted by Wal-Mart and the United States Department of Defense.
RFID IC/Chips

The Brains of an RFID tag are located in the integrated circuit or Chip. Passive RFID tags have no internal power source; when these tags detect an RF signal, the tag antenna is stimulated to a point where the chip is powered up and communicates the information stored in the chip back to the reader. Standard EPC Gen2 chips can store 96 bits of data. Many of the newer chips can store 512 bits. Some higher memory chips are available that can store in excess of 4 kilobytes (kb) of data.

RFID Tag Selection

RFID Inlays

An RFID inlay is comprised of a chip and and an antenna (made of aluminum, copper or silver) bonded to a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer. Inlays are generally laminated or converted by companies that place them between a paper face sheet and pressure sensitive adhesive. Typically, (but not always), RFID labels can be printed and encoded in an RFID printer.
On-Metal Tags

Standard RFID inlays are two dimensional and are typically integrated into labels. However, standard RFID labels are not considered durable and will not work when placed directly on metal. It is possible to use a standard RFID inlay with a plastic or foam stand-off material that separates the inlay from the metal. However, these tags don't perform as well as those specifically designed for on-metal use. On-metal tags are three dimensional antenna designs. Historically, on-metal tags have been as thick as .5", but thinner on-metal tags are becoming increasingly available. On-metal tag designs can vary greatly from small asset tags to large cargo tags. On-metal tag performance is suboptimal when not placed directly on metal.
Tag Packaging and Encapsulation

As application requirements become more demanding, the materials and processes used to manufacture the tags become more complex. Simple RFID inlays can be converted into paper labels, more durable credit card-like materials, or embedded in plastic. Some on-metal tags are significantly more durable than others; high temperature tags require more exotic materials and adhesives, and the more exotic the material, the more expensive the tag.
Performance

Tag read performance is highly dependent upon several key factors:

n

Reader and antenna configuration n Tag design and materials nEnvironmental conditions The items listed above are by no means all-inclusivethere are several other factors that can impact the cost and availability of durable EPC Gen2 tags for the more demanding applications. The best advice we can offer is as follows:
nEnsure that you have clearly defined your requirements. Important considerations include the

materials being tagged (e.g. plastic, metal, etc.), environmental durability (e.g. temperature, chemical resistance, etc.), and performance requirements. n Regarding tag attachment preferences (e.g. adhesive, rivets, lanyards), note that the tag most appropriate for your application may not support your preferred attachment method off the shelf, and may have to be customized. nAlways test the tags in your application environment. Identify tags that match your requirements and test them in your own environment.

RFID Reader Options for Better RFID Solution Design

By John Rommel, Sr. Mgr, RFID Channel Development, Motorola
Background

John Rommel, Sr. Mgr, RFID Channel Development Motorola

Selecting the proper tag means little if you have not selected the proper reader with which to read it. Whether you are just starting to evaluate RFID technology, or are in the process of planning an RFID implementation, youll need a solid understanding of the different types of RFID readers that are available todayfixed and handheld. Each type of reader is designed to meet completely different environmental and application requirements. Only through a thorough understanding of each of these devices and what they offer can you develop a plan that maximizes the capabilities, benefits and return on investment for your RFID solutions.
Fixed Readers

Fixed readers are designed for deployment in an environment where the tagged items are in motion and need to be read as they pass by a fixed location. These locations, often referred to as choke points or read zones include such things as dock doors, conveyor belts, hallways, and other fixed locations. Permanently installed in a defined location, these devices are paired with RFID antennas that are constantly reading, and always listening in order to detect any RFID tag that passes within the readers active zone. Fixed readers offer completely automated readingthere is no operator intervention required to read tags. This makes them ideal for situations where items move from location to location. For example, assume a pallet of 100 items is moved from the inbound truck into the receiving area, then moved into quality assurance (QA) for testing, then moved to a holding area before finally being put into storage. With traditional bar code methods, the pallet, or possibly each item on it, would need to be scanned to indicate that it has changed locationthis can be very time-consuming. With fixed RFID readers the forklift operator simply performs his or her job as always and the items are automatically read as they are moved from room to room.

RFID Reader Options for Better RFID Solution Design

Applications

Fixed readers are designed to streamline processes at the major mandatory read points in your facilitykey entry and exit points where the business process requires the bulk capture of inventory and asset movement data. Applications typically include:
n

Capturing incoming and outgoing inventory movement at warehouse dock doors n Work in process (WIP) tracking of all manufacturing process phases/steps n Tracking the movement of wheelchairs, IV pumps, crash carts, etc. at hospital doorways n Preventing the unwanted removal of valuable assets at the entrances and exits of facilities.
Deployment Considerations

Fixed readers can typically support between 2 and 8 antennas. The antennas can be combined to cover one large read zone or can be separated to have each one cover a smaller read zone. This flexibility allows for a reduction in overall costs but also requires advanced planning to determine the optimal locations for each component. In addition, the reader will also need a network connection and power, either through A/C current or via Power Over Ethernet, so users must ensure these are available at the required locations. Care will also be required to ensure the antennas read where you want them to read (i.e., the doorway) and not in any unwanted areas (i.e., the adjacent hallway). Detecting direction of movement and potentially interfacing to motion sensors, light racks, or video systems are also potential considerations.
Handheld RFID Readers

Handheld RFID readers offer an easy-to-carry compact form factor with an integrated antenna that allows workers to take the reader to the RFID tagin contrast to fixed readers, where the tag moves past the reader. With a handheld RFID reader, users have complete control over when, where, and how the reader will be used. Typically, handheld readers are used to take inventory and quickly count dozens to tens of thousands of items, a process that would otherwise take a very long time and require large manpower resources. Consider a retail clothing store stocked with thousands of garments, shoes and accessories. The effort required to inventory what is physically on the shelves normally requires a large group of people to work eight to twelve hours during an overnight periodeven with bar code scanners. For this reason it is rarely done. However, with a handheld RFID reader, store employees could walk around the store in a matter of minutes, reading and accounting for every item that was on a rack. Handheld readers are typically fully-functioning portable computers, complete with a keypad and display. Applications can be loaded onto the device and the RFID data can be read and either stored for future use or transmitted via a WiFi network to interface in real time with a host system. Handheld readers also often feature a bar code scanner to provide multiple input capabilities. In this way, data can be input via keypad, bar code, or RFIDdepending on which method makes the most sense for the operation.

RFID Reader Options for Better RFID Solution Design

Applications

Handheld readers are designed to expedite any counting or inventory process by quickly detecting multiple items automatically, without the need of line of sight. Their portability and programmability make them ideal for a variety of applications, including:
n Physical inventories of assets, merchandise, supplies, etc. n Inspections and replenishment of multiple assets located throughout a facility or location. n Tracking items in a yard or distributed storage environments where items would not pass by

a fixed reader. n Searching for a particular misplaced item that may be out of sight
Deployment Considerations

Unlike fixed readers, handhelds require no extensive installation or system design. However, there are a variety of factors to consider when evaluating these devices. First and foremost is read performance. Since handhelds are battery powered and possess smaller antennas than fixed readers, their read distance is typically reduced. It is wise to determine how far you will typically need to read and then match the proper reader and tag to meet this requirement (using the charts in this report). Second in importance is ergonomics. Is the reader heavy? Does it feel comfortable in your hand? Can someone use it throughout an entire shift without fatigue? One more important consideration is durability. Is it rugged? Will it withstand repeated drops? In what temperatures can it operate? Is it resistant to dust, moisture, grease, vibration, etc.? Operational concerns are an important up front consideration when conducting your business process analysis.
Summary

Fixed and handheld RFID readers all have unique characteristics and functionalities. Through a thorough understanding of the types of devices, enterprises can envision all of the possible areas in the business where RFID can be deployed. Through this vision, enterprises can determine how, where and what type of readers to deploy to achieve maximum efficiency and maximum value from RFID deployments.

Confidex Carrier Tough Confidex Carrier Tough is an encapsulated, thin tag solution for tracking various plastic containers and plastic returnable transit items. The tags structure not only protects against impacts, but also covers the barcode or other visual information making the printing tolerant against scratches or other wearing. In the cases where the plastic container structure does not have a slot that would protect a label type of RFID tag, or when the container will face sharp mechanical impacts during its circulation, Carrier Tough will be the right tag choice. Carrier Tough is part of the Confidex RPC Tag family with Carrier and Carrier Pro.

SM-77B Black Rugged RFID TagWhite thick transparent These tags are perfect for marking carts, tagging high-value items with glass, plastics or metal, and for authentication applications. This is the black polycarbonate alternative to the WF-SM-77, which features a clear outer casing. The black polycarbonate case protects the RFID inlay from environmental conditions. The inlay is especially well-suited for high dielectric materials such as glass, reusable plastic pallets or containers. This is a cost-effective metal-mount, harsh-environment RFID tag.
