What Is an RFID Site Survey?

An RFID site survey thoroughly evaluates all locations where RFID data will be collected. This process:

  • Analyzes read zones for optimal tag and antenna placement.
  • Identifies power and network requirements.
  • Mitigates risks associated with environmental and physical interference.
  • Creates a detailed reference for all project stakeholders.

Optimize RFID Implementation with a Site Survey

  • Accurate Data Capture: Ensure proper placement of tags and antennas for reliable data acquisition.
  • Risk Reduction: Identify environmental or physical threats before implementation.
  • Cost Clarity: Generate a comprehensive bill of materials to understand total project costs.
  • Streamlined Collaboration: Use the site survey report as a reference for all teams and vendors involved.

Steps in an RFID Site Survey

  • Measure and analyze read zones, including dimensions, asset orientations, and dwell times.
  • Assess the surrounding environment for potential risks, such as heat, liquids, or moving equipment.
  • Identify power and network connection options for each read zone.
  • Document findings with detailed photographs and measurements.
  • Compile a comprehensive site survey report with actionable recommendations.

What the Site Survey Report Includes

  • Tag Placement: Specific guidelines for attaching RFID tags to various asset types.
  • Antenna and Reader Mounting: Clear instructions for installing antennas and readers in each read zone.
  • Infrastructure Requirements: Locations for power and network installations.
