Quality Control for Bulk RFID Ear Tag Orders

For livestock identification projects, consistency is as important as the performance of an individual sample.

Our production quality control can cover:

01. Material Inspection

Incoming materials and RFID components are checked against production specifications.

02. RFID Component Verification

Chip and RFID components are verified before production.

03. Dimensional & Visual Inspection

Tag dimensions, molding quality, printing and visual identification are inspected during production.

04. RFID Performance Testing

RFID communication and readability are checked according to the agreed project specification.

05. Encoding Verification

For pre-encoded orders, RFID data and printed identification can be matched against the customer's data file.

06. Final Inspection

Finished tags are inspected before packing and shipment.

For project-specific quality requirements, inspection criteria can be confirmed before mass production.
