Origin and Development History of RFID Tags

Origin of RFID tags

RFID tags use radio frequency identification technology, which was first applied in the development of the identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system technology at the US Navy Laboratory. It is mainly used to distinguish the identity of fighter jets.

Development history of RFID tags

RFID tags use radio frequency identification technology, which first appeared in 1937 when the US Navy Laboratory developed the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system technology, mainly used to distinguish the identity of fighter jets.

Subsequently, radio frequency identification technology became the foundation of modern air traffic control in the 1950s;

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system was a common anti-theft system in shopping malls;

In the 1980s, early commercial applications included railways and food;

In the 1990s, RFID technology and products entered the commercial application stage, and various scale applications began to emerge.

At the beginning of the 20th century. The standardization of RFID technology is increasingly being emphasized, and RFID products are widely adopted. The types of RFID products are becoming more diverse, and active electronic tags, passive electronic tags, and semi passive electronic tags are all being developed. The cost of electronic tags is continuously decreasing, and the scale of application industries is expanding.

At present, RFID tags are involved in the civilian industry as follows:

State Grid, Machinery and Equipment Management, Library, Aviation Real Estate, Clothing Industry, Jewelry, Logistics
