In this case study, The Axia Institute conducts testing to identify the most suitable passive UHF RFID tag for consumer goods filled with liquid and wrapped in foil packaging. Rigorous testing is then performed across different packaging levels (item, case, pallet), as the packaging configuration impacts the readability of RFID tags at each packaging level. A tag readability rate higher than 99.7% is feasible, and readability can be optimized by adjusting the reader position, packaging configuration and tag design.
