Bar Code Questions

RFID and Bar Code: Matching the Technology to the Application

What is the best choice between bar code and RFID? This, in many cases, is the million dollar question. There are a lot of people interested in RFID for various reasons and many early industry articles over-hyped RFID with the supposed nickel RFID tag. In addition, opinions are often slanted towards companies’ primary operations. For example, bar code companies will justify bar code as the best option while RFID companies will justify the newer technology of RFID as a superior solution. The emphasis needs to be on efficiently managing data, not on the actual system to accomplish this.

There are many methods of collecting and managing data: manual, magnetic stripe, OCR, bar code and, of course, RFID. What is the most practical method of collecting data for your operation? Keep in mind that the latest emerging technology is not always the best choice. Perhaps direct parts marking or bar code labeling is more practical and will provide the best return on investment. Evaluate all practical data collection methods and do not automatically predetermine a data collection method.

Environmental conditions not only determine the ID method, but also factor in to the ID design. For example, will the RFID or bar code label be exposed to heat, UV, abrasion, chemicals or solvents? What kind of impact will they have on the performance? We know that in higher temperatures (>300°F) the leads break away from the RFID inlay destroying the data. The amount of exposure to UV, chemicals, and solvents usually determine the RFID label design.

Another factor to consider is the expected read range for an ID product. Bar code tends to have a closer read range than RFID, although there are materials that help extend the read range for bar codes, i.e. retroreflective material. In addition, bar codes need to have a direct line of sight in order to be read where RFID tags don’t. The read range for RFID tags is highly dependent on the inlay used; however, in general terms passive tags are going to have a read range up to about 20 ft.; where active tags are going to extend read range beyond that.

The items being tracked are also a key factor in determining which technology to use. Is the item metal, plastic, wood, etc.? Manual methods or bar code work on nearly any surface condition without affecting readability; however, RFID reacts to different surfaces. Metal surfaces reflect RF while liquids absorb RF and in both cases will affect the readability of the tag. While there are tag designs to help minimize the effects of RFID on a metal surface that design may not be the best design for another surface, i.e. plastic.

Cost and longevity are also factors to consider when deciding on an ID technology. Whether you are dealing with bar code or RFID installation is a major cost. Therefore, although the actual cost of the ID itself is not significant incurring additional installations costs can dramatically affect the overall ROI for a project.

If either RFID or bar code technologies are acceptable based upon environment, read range and surface conditions, determining ROI is the next logical step. Remember to take into consideration the infrastructure (hardware, middleware, software), ID investment and the cost of installing the ID. If after weighing the information RFID is the technology of choice, why not also consider using bar code? Adding bar code to an RFID tag is a minimal additional investment that could reap many benefits. For example, not all locations may be able to support the RFID infrastructure required.

In summary here are a few signals that bar code should be used as your primary ID technology.

  1. Small number of assets being tracked at once
  2. Data collection done on a batch basis
  3. Severe environmental conditions (RFID may not be practical – i.e. heat, shock, abrasion, severe chemical exposure)
  4. Near field to medium read range is acceptable
  5. Extreme metal content – isolator not acceptable
  6. Noisy RF environment
  7. Data collection speed not an issue

By contrast, here are a few signals that RFID should be used as your primary ID technology.

  1. Reading multiple items in a short period of time (case lot unit, containers, pallets, etc.)
  2. Mild to moderate environments
  3. Little RF noise
  4. Long or extended read range required
  5. Read range is acceptable from metal mount surface

Remember, RFID is not automatically the best choice when evaluating ID technology. Consider the environment to which the ID will be exposed, read range, and surface conditions to ensure you will receive the maximum ROI for your specific application.
