Top RFID Technology Concerns in 2025 and Beetech’s Solutions

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is being widely applied across various sectors such as retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing. However, as more businesses implement RFID, several concerns have arisen from users. Below are the most pressing issues, along with proposed solutions:

1. RFID Deployment and Maintenance Costs – Is it Expensive?

Concern: Many businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), worry about the high initial investment cost for RFID systems. Additionally, maintenance costs such as replacing tags or repairing readers are also a concern.

Solution: Choosing the right RFID solutions that are scalable and flexible from reputable providers like Beetech can help reduce initial costs and save on long-term expenses. For smaller businesses, the initial deployment cost can range from VND 20 – 50 million for a basic system (including readers, tags, and software). Larger businesses with more advanced requirements may invest from several hundred million to billions of VND, depending on the complexity and scale. Beetech also offers flexible maintenance packages on a monthly or yearly basis to optimize operational costs.

2. Data Security – Can RFID Be Hacked?

Concern: Users worry that RFID tag information may be stolen or spoofed without proper security mechanisms. A notable case in 2022 involved hackers using mobile RFID readers to scan contactless payment cards at crowded train stations in Europe, resulting in financial damage and privacy violations.

Solution: Providers now integrate AES or SHA encryption, two-factor authentication, and multi-layered access control into RFID systems to ensure data is encrypted during transmission and storage. Regular firmware updates, the use of high-security RFID tags with rolling codes, along with firewalls and network segmentation for the RFID system, are also crucial measures. Additionally, users should be trained to recognize and avoid potential data security risks.

3. Device Compatibility – Is It Easy to Integrate?

Concern: In a diverse technological environment, users are often concerned about the compatibility of RFID systems with existing software and hardware. This may lead to integration issues or add additional costs for replacing devices.

Solution: Modern RFID systems support open communication protocols such as EPCglobal and ISO/IEC, making it easy to integrate with existing warehouse management systems (WMS), ERP, or CRM platforms. Beetech provides customizable RFID solutions that are pre-integrated and scalable to meet future expansion needs.

4. Accuracy and Tag Readability – Can RFID Make Errors?

Concern: Users often wonder if RFID can misread, miss tags, or fail to read tags in environments with a lot of metal or water. A specific example is in cold storage – where low temperatures and high humidity can weaken or reflect RFID signals, leading to missed tag reads. Similarly, in areas with metal obstructions, such as mechanical manufacturing plants, readers may struggle to receive tag signals.

Solution: By selecting the right tag type (UHF for long-range, HF or NFC for close-range environments) and using specialized readers resistant to interference, along with adjusting reading distances, angles, and antenna placement, accuracy can reach up to 99%. Experienced providers like Beetech typically conduct on-site surveys to design systems that suit specific working environments, ensuring stable and efficient reading performance.

5. Read Range and Processing Speed – Is It Fast and Long-Range Enough?

Concern: Some businesses worry that RFID systems cannot meet the required read range and scanning speed, particularly in high-density environments like manufacturing and logistics.

Solution: With the development of UHF RFID technology, current systems can read tags from distances of up to 10 meters, optimizing the monitoring and control of goods in large areas. Furthermore, modern systems can scan hundreds of tags per second, making them suitable for environments such as distribution centers or factories, where large volumes of tags need to be processed.

6. Training and Operation Challenges – Does It Require High Technical Skills?

Concern: Some businesses worry that using RFID systems might be difficult for employees, particularly those who are not technically inclined, as the systems may seem complex and require specialized skills.

Solution: Most RFID solutions now feature user-friendly, multilingual interfaces that are easy to operate. Beetech offers a variety of training formats to support businesses, including on-site demonstrations, step-by-step video guides, detailed PDF documents, and online remote support. Additionally, Beetech provides continuous post-sales support to ensure that employees can easily master the system and address any issues that arise quickly.

7. Scalability and Upgradability – Is RFID Flexible?

Concern: Businesses are looking for flexible RFID solutions in case their operations scale up in the future. They want to know if they can easily upgrade the system or if they need to replace all devices and software.

Solution: Beetech’s RFID systems are modular in design, allowing for easy expansion and upgrades. This enables businesses to add more tags, readers, monitoring areas, and software without needing to replace the entire system.

Conclusion:

While RFID technology offers numerous benefits, understanding the challenges and how to address them is crucial for successful implementation.
