Can RFID tags be scanned even if their surface is covered?
Inventory of internal assets such as office supplies using RFID! Introduction to the 4th verification corner.
In the third round of testing, the result showed that "the tag placed inside the drawer of the wooden side wagon can be scanned, but in the case of the steel side wagon, it cannot be read unless the drawer is opened." This is because metal does not allow radio waves to pass through, so the drawer must be opened to create a pathway for the signals. At this point, a new question arose. "Even if the furniture is wooden, it is unlikely that everything else usually kept inside the drawer is non-metallic, right?" During the testing, only one laptop with a tag was placed inside the drawer, but typically, various small items and documents are stored in the drawer. Could those affect the reading? What would happen if we tested it with a more realistic drawer setup? Let's give it a try. You can read more in the related links. Please take a look.
