UHF RFID Tags

UHF RFID tags utilized for personnel mustering and personnel accountability systems are typically an RFID-embedded ID card or RFID key fob.

The most common utilization of UHF tags for personnel accountability systems is an ID card, with these primary options:

• Place RFID self-adhesive inlay or label, including RFID antenna and microchip with tag #, onto an existing personnel ID card and onto visitor cards.

• Issue ID cards pre-manufactured with the RFID inlay produced within the ID card itself. UHF RFID ID cards can include support for access control systems within a single card.

• Utilize web-based software to create UHF RFID ID cards and have in-possession within approximately 2 to 3 days.

• Print UHF RFID cards onsite.

As a standard practice or based on personnel preference, UHF key fobs can be implemented.

RFID tags can be placed on personnel phones or other personal item that is typically on-their-person in-lieu-of or in-addition-to other personnel RFID tagging options.

For personnel mustering solutions, as to active or UHF RFID tags, the key consideration is the likelihood that personnel will have their RFID identification on-their-person without having to think about it or access it in case of an actual disaster. Ideally, RFID tags are utilized in a manner that personnel always have the tag on their person.
