| What is a Smart Label? |
|
Smart Label is a generic term used for RFID (Radio-frequency identification). RFID is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data, be it simply a unique ID or additional information. |
A Smart Label is a self adhesive label which can be mounted onto or inserted into a product for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some Smart Media can be read from very close proximity to several meters away. |
|
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal and can also be used for other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. |
|
RFID tags come in three general varieties: passive, active, or semi-passive (also known as battery-assisted). Passive tags require no internal power source, whereas semi-passive and active tags require a power source, usually a small battery. |
 |
|
CLC (UK) Limited offer you Passive RFID tags which have no internal power supply. They rely on a magnetic or electronic field of the radio waves to generate a current which can be received by their antenna. This is the most common tag type. These can be supplied in LF (Low Frequency), HF (High Frequency) or UHF (Ultra-High Frequency). |
