Systems and methods are provided for measuring and tracking radio-frequency (RFID) tags. Inlay data, converting data, and tag scan data can be received from entities in the supply chain and stored in a database. The tag scan data, including measurement and performance data, can be stored and used for applications such as determining whether RFID tags are defective. The tag scan data, inlay data, and converting data can be analyzed to produce analytic data for reporting and failure prediction purposes. Inlay-SKU combinations of RFID tags can be validated to ensure that the correct inlays are being utilized for RFID tags intended for particular products. More accurate inventory data may be obtained and costs for re-tagging products that have defective RFID tags may be reduced. Entities in the supply chain can also be assisted to comply with various quality control, licensing, and tracking requirements related to the RFID tags. |

1. A method for tracking a plurality of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags across a supply chain, using a processor, the method comprising:
receiving tag scan data related to at least one RFID tag of the plurality of RFID tags at the processor; storing the tag scan data in an RFID tag data database, using the processor; receiving inlay data at the processor, the inlay data related to a plurality of inlays each comprising an RFID chip and an antenna, wherein the plurality of inlays is used in producing the plurality of RFID tags; receiving converting data at the processor, the converting data related to the plurality of RFID tags after the plurality of RFID tags have been finished, wherein each of the plurality of RFID tags comprises one of the plurality of inlays; producing analytic data based on one or more of the tag scan data, the inlay data, or the converting data, using the processor, the analytic data related to the plurality of RFID tags; and transmitting the analytic data from the processor. |
