MoreHow Much Memory is in an RFID Tag?
RFID tag memory ranges from 64 bits to 8 KB, depending on the tag type and purpose. Passive tags typically store basic identifiers (e.g., unique IDs), while advanced active tags can hold sensor data, timestamps, or encryption keys. Here’s a detailed guide to RFID memory types and their applications.
1. Memory Capacity by RFID Tag Type
| Tag Type | Memory Range | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Passive LF/HF | 64 bits – 2 KB | Access control, payment cards, animal ID |
| Passive UHF | 96 bits – 4 KB | Retail inventory, supply chain tracking |
| Active/Semi-Passive | 512 bytes – 8 KB | Cold chain monitoring, industrial IoT |
2. What Can You Store in an RFID Tag?
- Basic Tags (64–256 bits):
- Unique identifiers (UIDs) linked to databases.
- Example: Cykeo’s EcoTag Basic stores a 128-bit UID for retail inventory.
- Advanced Tags (1–8 KB):
- Sensor data (temperature, humidity).
- Encryption keys for secure authentication.
- Maintenance logs (e.g., equipment service history).
3. Factors Influencing Memory Needs
- Data Type: Text vs. numeric data (e.g., a serial number vs. a temperature log).
- Security: Encrypted tags require extra memory for keys and certificates.
- Frequency: High-memory tags often use UHF or active systems for complex applications.
4. Cykeo’s High-Memory RFID Solutions
- Cykeo’s DataTrack Series offers 4 KB tags for storing sensor data in healthcare and logistics.
- Their SecureVault Tags provide 2 KB memory with AES-256 encryption for anti-counterfeiting.
5. Case Study: 90% Faster Data Collection
A pharmaceutical company reduced vaccine monitoring time by 90% using Cykeo’s 4 KB RFID tags to store temperature logs, eliminating manual paperwork.
