What is a RFID wristband

RFID wristband is a convenient and durable wear in the wrist above the intelligent radio frequency shaped card varieties, specifically refers to the recognition wristband embedded with RFID radio frequency identification chip. Wristband electronic tag selection of environmentally friendly silicone material, comfortable to wear, and beautiful appearance, decorative; can be divided into disposable wristbands and reusable wristbands.
RFID wristband working principle: radio frequency identification RFID (RadioFrequencyIdentification) technology, also known as wireless radio frequency identification, is a communication technology that can identify specific targets and read and write related data through radio signals, without the need to establish mechanical or optical contact between the identification system and the specific target.

How RFID wristbands work

Similar to barcode scanning, RFID wristband tags have a set of systems for use. RFID wristband tags with identification information written on them are read by RFID readers without contact, and the contents are displayed on the readers. And system connection, can also carry out more demand work. Such as product access control, access control.

Advantages RFID wristband tags

Ambient temperature -40 ℃ – +85 ℃ can be completely normal operation (MTBF ≥ 70,000 hours), especially in the northern low temperature and the southern high temperature state more obvious advantages, can effectively resist the harsh environment in the air under high dust and humidity and other environments, can ensure the normal use of equipment. High anti-interference, no special requirements for the perimeter environment, strong environmental adaptability.
Long service life, low average cost, maintenance-free, and safe and healthy for human body, no electromagnetic radiation pollution, safer to use. Configurable microwave module working mode, adjustable transmit power.
System implementation benefits to strengthen prison law enforcement, to maintain the dignity of the law. Improve the management level of prisons, intelligent management to ease the pressure of insufficient prison police, release the pressure of regulatory funds. Changed the traditional management model to reduce prison operating costs. The difficulty of rehabilitation of offenders is reduced, because the probability of prisoner bullying gang trouble, fighting and brawling is reduced. Scientific management allows scientific means to replace human work, to achieve preferential treatment of police and improve the quality of work.
100% of the front-end recognition rate. Active card identification distance (2-100 meters), the program does not need to use handheld card reader placed next to the tag, can be fully automatic identification. Very high anti-collision (at the same time can identify 200 active cards), a high degree of identification stability (false code rate of less than one hundred thousand), truly achieve no false code, no card leakage. Improve the management level, centralized management, distributed control; effective prisoner management, improve the management of intelligent and scientific. This system makes prison breaks impossible, prison bullies can not be produced, and fights are reduced.
Wrist tag anti-destructive because the prison staff have a certain resistance to prison management, will not cooperate well and protect the wrist tag worn on the hand, we are equipped with anti-destructive alarm function on the wrist tag, can prevent prisoners from removing at will.
Home prison implementation becomes possible due to the lack of police force, the handling of some of the less socially dangerous admissions has been a major problem affecting law enforcement. With this system, the dignity of the law can be easily maintained. For example, the admission of drunk drivers, in some places overcrowded, if the implementation of the family prison is a good solution to this problem.

Types of RFID systems

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and uses radio waves to transmit information between two or more devices. At its most basic level, an RFID system consists of a tag and a reader device. The tag consists of a transmitter, a receiver and an integrated circuit that stores the information. RFID tags can also have batteries, although this depends on the type of tag. There are three types of tags: passive, active and battery-assisted.

• Passive-Passive RFID tags do not have a built-in battery; they are powered by radio energy transmitted by the reader.
• Active – On-board batteries power RFID tags, and RFID tags can transmit information periodically without a reader.
• Battery-assisted-RFID tags contain a battery that powers the tag only in the presence of a reader.
• Communication between the tag and the reader does not require a line of sight or physical connection. However, the range is limited depending on the frequency at which the system operates.
• Low frequency (125-134kHz) – very short read/write range of no more than a few centimeters with limited memory storage capacity. The data transfer speed is low and very few tags can be read at one time.
• High frequency (13.56MHz)-Short read/write range of a few inches, but with greater memory capacity and moderate data transfer rates.
• UHF (433MHz and 856-960MHz)-Long read/write range of up to 70 feet with high data capacity. Data transfer rates are also high.

When it comes to RFID wristband systems for parks and festivals, most use passive tags operating at high frequencies. Low-power radio waves activate the tag to read and write data used to identify guests.

Applications of RFID

Short-range RFID products are not afraid of harsh environments such as oil and dust contamination, and can replace bar codes in such environments, for example, used in factory assembly lines to track objects.
Long-distance radio frequency identification products are mostly used in traffic, recognition distance can reach tens of meters, such as automatic charging or identification of vehicle identity.

1. In the retail industry, the use of bar code technology makes tens of thousands of commodity types, prices, origin, batches, shelves, inventory, sales and other links are managed in an orderly manner;
2. The use of automatic vehicle identification technology makes the road and bridge, parking lot and other toll places avoid the phenomenon of vehicle queue clearance, reducing the waste of time, thus greatly improving the transportation efficiency and the capacity of transportation facilities;
3. In the automated production line, all aspects of the entire product production process are placed under close monitoring and management;
4. In the dust, pollution, cold, heat and other harsh environments, the use of long-distance range radio frequency identification technology to improve the truck driver must get off the inconvenience of the formalities;
5. In the bus operation management, the automatic diagnosis system accurately records the vehicles in each station along the line to the departure station moment, provides the real-time reliable information for the vehicles scheduling and the whole operation management.

RFID electronic tag technology application is very wide, at present the typical application: animal chip, access control, air parcel recognition, document tracking management, parcel tracking recognition, animal husbandry, logistics management, mobile commerce, product anti-counterfeiting, sports timing, ticket management, car chip anti-theft device, parking control, production line automation, material management, etc.

How much data can RFID tags store?

An important factor in how RFID wristbands work is the storage capacity. The largest passive RFID tags can store up to 3720 bytes or 3.72 kilobytes of information. This may seem like a small amount, but it is enough to store your name, address, credit card number, date of birth, and any identifying information that your local administrator wants to track.
UHF tags can store up to 8 kilobytes of information, but such tags are typically reserved for the aerospace industry. For wristbands and access control systems, RFID tags are typically 3 KB or smaller and do not contain sensitive information such as your social security number.
The data you sometimes find stored on RFID tags may include identity credentials, purchase credits, vouchers, and even social media integrations. So when you pass a checkpoint, you can choose to have your activity automatically posted to social media. For hotels, RFID systems can even replace key cards for access control.
DorneyPark, an amusement park in Allentown, Pennsylvania, implemented a fast payment system using PDC’s RFID wristbands, resulting in increased customer spending and revenue. Meanwhile, customers have peace of mind knowing that their credit cards remain safely tucked away in their lockers.

RFID Wristbands as a Tracking Device

Since most RFID wristbands use high-frequency passive tags, they cannot actively track the wearer and are limited to very short distances. However, RFID systems can track the last known location of the wearer by recording the last checkpoint when the wearer used the wristband. For venues, RFID wristbands are best suited as non-cash contactless payment and access control.
RFID wristband systems and RFID technology will continue to evolve. If increased profits and a more efficient payment system are your top priorities, then RFID wristbands are a natural fit for you. With the information above, you can now understand how RFID wristbands work and understand their uses and limitations.
