What To Expect When Running Your RFID Application

Factors Affecting Smart Label Performance

Smart labels are based on an EEPROM technology that requires some time to program. This minor pause between labels may be noticed by the user. This time is necessary to better ensure consistent quality and improved reliability.

When dealing with smart labels, it is possible that an occasional RFID tag may require to be written and verified more than once (retry) before being considered acceptable. In this event each retry time will be added to the inter-label pause.
