UHF RFID Tags Classification
UHF RFID Tags Classification
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID tags, operating in the 860–960 MHz range, are widely used for their long read distance, fast data transmission, and suitability for large-scale tracking. Based on different structures, materials, and application environments, UHF RFID tags are classified as follows:
1. By Form Factor
Inlay Tags
Semi-finished product (chip + antenna) for embedding into labels, cards, or tickets
Cost-effective for mass production and printing
Label Tags (Sticker Tags)
Adhesive-backed, easy to attach to surfaces
Widely used in logistics, warehousing, and retail
Hard Tags
Encased in durable plastic, ceramic, or metal shell
Waterproof, dustproof, and resistant to impact
Ideal for industrial and outdoor environments
Flexible Anti-metal Tags
Bendable, designed to work on metallic surfaces
Used for IT assets, metal tools, and equipment tracking
2. By Application Environment
Standard Environment Tags
For non-metal surfaces such as cardboard, plastic, and wood
Anti-metal Tags
Specially designed for metallic environments
Maintains performance when attached to metal surfaces
High Temperature Tags
Resistant to heat above 200°C
Suitable for painting lines, mold tracking, and heat treatment processes
Waterproof Tags
Fully sealed for outdoor or high-humidity applications
3.By Application Use Case
Logistics & Supply Chain Tags
For pallets, containers, and shipment tracking
Supports long-range and bulk reading
Apparel Tags
Used in clothing retail for inventory and anti-theft
Asset Management Tags
For fixed assets, IT devices, and tool tracking
Vehicle Tags
Installed on windshields or license plates
Used in parking systems, toll gates, and fleet tracking
Healthcare Tags
For medical equipment, pharmaceutical tracking, and patient management
4.By Chip Type
Commonly used UHF RFID chips include:
Impinj Series: Monza R6, R6-P, M730, M750
NXP Series: UCODE 8, UCODE 9
Alien Higgs Series: Higgs-3, Higgs-4
Each chip offers different features such as:
Memory size (EPC/User/Reserved)
Read range performance
Security functions and password protection
