In terms of RFID technology, UHF RFID has a long recognition distance, up to 10m or more, and has a fast recognition rate. It can automatically collect characteristic data such as object numbers, attributes and states. And it has strong applicability in the digital management of personnel, assets and items. NFC can identify and transmit data at close range, with an effective identification distance of about 10 cm, and supports two-way connection, which can create a high-encryption and high-security environment for data interaction between devices. It has unlimited potential in anti-counterfeiting.

Dual-frequency RFID is a major direction for future RFID industry applications

At present, the most successful application of dual-frequency RFID technology is alcohol anti-counterfeiting, such as Wuliangye, Moutai, and the French brand of brandy Remy Martin. It is understood that Wuliangye has previously used UHF RFID technology to prevent counterfeiting and anti-smuggling. UHF technology can facilitate the intelligent management of dealers in logistics and warehousing, but it is not conducive to end consumers to do anti-counterfeiting identification. Because consumers do not have the corresponding query devices, it is difficult for end consumers to check the authenticity of goods through UHF. After the introduction of high frequency, consumers can check the authenticity of products by simply using an NFC-enabled smartphone. One-chip and dual- frequency is convenient for both consumers and dealers.

In 2015, Remy Martin began to apply RFID technology on wine bottles. Consumers can get information such as Remy Martin’s reward points, preferential activities and other information, as well as the origin certification information of the wine, by approaching the wine bottle with an NFC-enabled smartphone. And once the consumer opens the package of the bottle, the tag antenna breaks and sends a signal, indicating that the bottle has transformed from a closed state to an open state.
