This research investigates the use of passive RFID tags in metal bearing environments, focusing on the performance of various tags like Xerafy Picox. Key objectives include modeling real-world conditions and testing factors such as distance and orientation sensitivity. Findings show optimal tag performance within the 902-928 MHz frequency range, enhanced by aluminum lining. Future work will explore effective mounting techniques, field testing under extreme conditions, and the ability of tags to store part information. This innovative approach could significantly improve inventory tracking in industrial settings.
