Tag power changes what an RFID workflow can ask the tag to do, but it does not choose the application by itself. Compare passive, battery-assisted and active patterns with the required interaction, environment, lifecycle and evidence.
01 / FIELD NOTE
Start with the power model
Passive tags draw operating energy from the reader field. Battery-assisted tags use an onboard battery for the tag electronics and may support additional functions, while active tags use a battery-powered transmitter. Confirm the exact construction before making a capability decision.
02 / FIELD NOTE
Match the interaction
Consider whether the event is a close deliberate interaction, a controlled read zone, a mobile check or a longer-lived asset observation. The tag power model, frequency, antenna construction, reader setup and item environment must be reviewed together.
03 / FIELD NOTE
Check item and environment
Review material, moisture, temperature, attachment, density, movement and the distance between the tag and the item. A power category does not remove the need to test the selected construction in the condition where the workflow will operate.
04 / FIELD NOTE
Account for lifecycle
Record whether the tag is disposable, reusable, embedded or replaceable, and how battery state or tag failure will be detected. A battery-assisted or active option adds lifecycle decisions that a passive label may not require.
05 / FIELD NOTE
Separate capability from evidence
Keep range, response, sensor behavior, service life, availability and reader compatibility as configuration-dependent questions. Do not turn a category description, diagram or isolated test observation into a universal product claim.
06 / FIELD NOTE
Validate the complete choice
Test representative items, orientations, density, movement and normal operating conditions. Retain the selected power model, tag construction, reader arrangement, lifecycle rule and acceptance evidence before expanding the workflow.
