Frequently Asked Questions About Quinta RFID Tags

by

in ,

The Quinta Tags last indefinitely as long as they remain properly attached and the RFID antenna is not damaged. These tags do not require a battery, as they operate using the energy received from the antennas when activated to transmit the signal back.

Do the Quinta Tags withstand the tire retreading process?

Yes, the Quinta Tags are designed to withstand the high temperatures of the ovens used in the tire retreading process, ensuring their functionality even after this treatment.

What distance is needed to read the Quinta Tags?

The reading distance depends on the device used to read the tag, as each device has different range capabilities. The location of the tag on the tire also plays a role, as the main enemy of RFID technology is metal, which can interfere with the signal.

Why are the Quinta Tags placed on the "sidewall of the tire"?

The sidewall of the tire is the best location to place the Quinta Tags because the metal in the tread can cause interference and make reading the tag difficult. By placing them on the sidewall, this issue is minimized, and reading efficiency is optimized.

Why is it recommended to use this technology nowadays?

There are many tire technologies and sensors available today. Quinta RFID Tags are an affordable and technological solution to automate a process that used to be entirely manual. They provide an accessible way to maintain an accurate record of the condition and location of each tire.

Is it common for the Quinta Tags to fall off?

Like any technology, the Quinta Tags can fall off or get damaged if not properly attached. It is essential to stick them correctly and in the right location to ensure their effectiveness. However, by following the recommended instructions, high efficiency and simplicity in readings are achieved.

Main advantages of the Quinta Tags

Unique identification and accurate tracking: The Quinta Tags provide non-repetitive identifiers, allowing for a true historical record of the last time a tire was inspected, eliminating the subjectivity of the manual method.

Time savings in inspections: Tire inspection times are drastically reduced thanks to the automation of the reading process.

Reduction of marking times: Using Quinta Tags eliminates the need to manually mark tires, saving considerable time.

Growing trend: This technology is being adopted by many tire manufacturers, and it is expected to become a standard in the industry in the near future.

Affordable cost: The Quinta Tags cost up to 100 MXN per unit, and can be reduced to 65 MXN with higher volume. They are a more cost-effective solution compared to other specialized sensors.

Total control: They allow not only controlling the tires installed on vehicles but also keeping a record in the warehouse and during the retreading process, ensuring the presence of all tires in the fleet.

Disadvantages of the Quinta Tags

Susceptibility to damage: The tags can fall off or get damaged if not properly adhered.

Limited data: The Quinta Tags do not provide real-time information on temperature or pressure, they only offer tire identification.

Manual reading process: Despite their effectiveness, reading and detection are still manual, and an additional process is required to attach the tags.

Our recommendation

Adopting this technology is a big step towards improving tire control without making a significant investment. With Quinta Tags, you can prevent unauthorized tire changes and optimize inspection times.

We recommend looking for suppliers who already offer tires with this technology integrated, as we do at Quinta. We believe that, in terms of cost-benefit, it is the best way to control the lifespan of a tire from start to finish through a unique identifier. However, it is important to have a management system that leverages the data collected. There are several companies, in addition to us at Quinta, that offer this type of technology. We are here to help if you are interested in taking this step!
