HiCo and LoCo magnetic strip Cards - What's the Difference?

A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storing data by modifying the magnetism of tiny iron-based magnetic particles on a band of magnetic material on the card. The magnetic stripe, sometimes called swipe card or magstripe, is read by physical contact and swiping past a magnetic reading head。

HiCo and LoCo Cards - What Does it Mean and What's the Difference?

A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storing data by modifying the magnetism of tiny iron-based magnetic particles on a band of magnetic material on the card. The magnetic stripe, sometimes called swipe card or magstripe, is read by physical contact and swiping past a magnetic reading head。 HiCo stands for high-coercivity and LoCo stands for low-coercivity. Coercivity refers to the magnetic material's resistance to becoming demagnetized - therefore, HiCo and LoCo represent different standards of card durability and security. Coercivity is usually measured in Oersted (Oe) units to denote the magnetic stripe's strength or intensity. High-coercivity (HiCo) stripes are magnetically harder, while low-coercivity (LoCo) stripes are magnetically softer. HiCo mag stripe cards can run as high as 4000 Oe; however, a 2750 Oe is common for most HiCo cards. In contrast, LoCo cards are 300 Oe. LoCo is best suited for cards used infrequently and/or where data is routinely cha...

How Do RFID Keyfobs Work?

图片
A  RFID keyfob  or ‘fob’ is the term used to refer to a small hardware device that is programmed to give access to a variety of physical objects, such as a car or building. Fobs provide the same function of traditional metal keys, as well as add a level of convenience and security for the user that the traditional key cannot. RFID Technology RFID Keyfobs work through the use of Radio Frequency IDentification, or RFID for short. RFID is an ‘intelligent’ barcode system that uses electromagnetic fields for identifying and tracking data on ‘tags’, which contain stored information. The information is passed using radio waves, hence the name Radio Frequency IDentification. An RFID device serves the same purpose as a barcode on a product, or the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card, as it provides a unique identity to the object in question. RFID technology also employs the use of a ‘reader’ to gain the information from the tag – similar to a barcode scanner or credi...

How can RFID label tag benefit in logistics management? RFID tag is widely used for Logistics management,library book management,wines management and the application of bags,trays and luggage,etc. - Wireless Scanning Wireless scanning enable fast scanning of a box even a room items dependent on the reader. Making a much faster process of tracking items on their way. - Unique Tracking A chip with enough memory inside store information of a particular item of its date,location,factory and ways of producing. Easy to trace forwards or backwords of its source for both composite suppliers and consumers. - Real-Time Updates As scanning quickly we get a more accurate number of inventory on logistic chain. Providing instant update of inventory totals and turnover at any time on database. - Integration With Other Systems Integrate with security and shipments confirmation. allowing us to trace a shipment as it moves through our logistics chain, sorting items by locations, and providing...
