RFID electronic tag technology is not only important to improve tire management efficiency and achieve business optimization, but also can improve user experience through the relevant data obtained from each tire. Tire built-in RFID tags are unique methods that can manage each tire from production to disposal.

The harsh use environment of tires and the strict requirements of tire manufacturers

Now, most of the RFID electronic tags will be used on cardboard boxes containing goods, and the RFID tags will be discarded after the goods are delivered to consumers. Therefore, there is no need for how durable the RFID tag itself is. In contrast, the use scenario envisaged by Michelin is to build RFID electronic tags into tires used in various weather, road surfaces, and driving conditions, and it needs to maintain work for a long time until the tires are discarded.

The traditional RFID tag technology can not meet the requirements. The IC and the antenna used for transmitting information and wireless power supply are welded together. If they are used for tire implantation, the vibration during driving will cause the antenna to expand and contract, which will cause an excessive burden on the joint, which may break, When communication is not possible. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to realize a structure that can carry out non-contact power supply, and Michelin company has searched and explored the solution. 

Advantages of introducing RFID technology in tires

The first is the control of tire quality. In recent years, many countries and regions have introduced relevant standards and provisions for RFID tire tags. These standards require tire RFID to be marked with tire fuel efficiency, noise, grip and other data, and tires before and after leaving the factory. Quality control, thereby reducing safety accidents caused by tires.

Secondly, RFID technology also provides convenience for tire assembly. With RFID, the assembly line can achieve more efficient inventory management, avoid errors during tire/rim assembly, and facilitate the perfect pairing of tires and TPMS.

The last is tire recycling. With RFID, in the process of tire recycling, it is possible to read and record data such as tire composition, pattern depth, etc., to more efficiently judge whether the tire can continue to be used, needs retreading or direct recycling, and effectively achieves material recovery and material price. Maintain stability. Of course, RFID tire tags are slightly different from traditional RFID tags. For example, the chips and antennas in RFID tire tags need to withstand the impact of driving.
