Inventory accuracy is an incredibly important part of the supply chain that could make or break a business’s bottom line. Yet it can be a challenge to properly manage this. In fact, according to recent research, inventory accuracy in U.S. retail operations is 63%. This can lead to product shortages, costly oversupply, and in general, a negative overall customer experience. Level up your inventory tracking with custom RFID tags. With an organized system in place, custom RFID tags can ensure accuracy and efficiency when tracking your inventory.
First, it’s important to understand what custom RFID tags are. RFID stands for radio frequency identification, and this technology uses radio frequency to track materials and finished products. Custom RFID tags are equipped with this technology and can store useful information in order to better track inventory. A nearby RFID reader device can trigger the RFID tags, enabling it to transmit digital data back to the reader. Typically, this data is inventory numbers or product codes, which can be used to track inventory.
RFID tags can be found across every industry, and have many different applications. There are differences in the radio frequencies they use to communicate, such as low, high, or ultra-high, and they can also communicate differently with the RFID reader, such as active or passive RFID tags. Let’s take a closer look at what custom RFID tags can do for your business.

What are the Benefits of Using Custom RFID Tags?
Enhances Product Tracking Efficiency
With RFID tracking, you can take control of your inventory throughout every step of the process, including storage and distribution. RFID tags are scanned immediately in the warehouse, and that saved data can later be accessed so the assets can be easily located. This reduces time spent searching for the product, leading to more efficiency.
Lowers Costs
As manual counting errors and the amount of lost inventory decreases because of RFID tracking, this means lowered costs as well. Accurate location data allows you to immediately locate your assets, so that you can continue with the next step in the supply chain, enabling your product to head to market faster.
Improves The Customer Experience
Custom RFID tags mean better inventory management, organization, and more accurate product information, like ensuring you have the correct information on product availability. This level of accuracy improves the customer experience and ensures a more satisfying relationship between you and your customers.
What You Need to Know to Enhance Tracking with RFID Technology
There are several things you need to consider when first setting up your custom RFID tags in order to enhance your inventory tracking. First, you need to determine the environmental conditions of the product that must be tracked. For example, many manufacturing products need to withstand harsh conditions. They may come into contact with chemicals, unpredictable weather, or extreme temperatures. Smart Nameplates® are durable and able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. These are ideal for permanent identification and asset management.
You should also consider if you need labeling while tracking your containers, racks, and other products. The Smart Placard®, featuring Hold & Release® Technology, allows permanent adhesive labels to be removed and replaced as necessary, while also allowing you to track your inventory through RFID technology, leading to enhanced organization and accuracy.
The SmartCard™ Slider is also ideal for environments where durability and a small form factor are vital. This slider tag device can handle both extremely hot and cold temperatures, as well as other heavy duty applications. It is also scratch and abrasion resistant. With these tags, RFID technology is consistently readable through harsh conditions, which is important to maintain accuracy and enhance your product inventory tracking.
