Test Readability, Verify Specifications and Define Performance Grade
Managing RFID tag performance in different environments is challenging. The RF performance of tagged items may vary significantly due to different UHF RFID labels used, different materials of the items, and different ways the items are stored and tagged. The tagged items should fulfill the set performance requirements in diverse settings. Choosing the correct tags plays a key role in application performance.
What is Tagged Item Grading?
Tagged Item Grading is a measurable and comparable set of RFID tag performance qualities for tagged items. Most importantly, it is a way to communicate the performance requirements between retailers, suppliers, and technology providers.
The Voyantic Tagformance Tagged Item Grading is the way to define and verify the grading. Remove any uncertainties, assure the performance of your application right from the moment of implementation.
