A fuser member using an RFID tag and a method for evaluating the performance of a fuser member using a RFID tag are disclosed. An RFID tag may be attached to a fuser member during a manufacturing process. Production data pertaining to the fuser member may be stored on the RFID tag during the manufacturing process as well. Once manufactured, the fuser member may be used in a xerographic apparatus. Run-time data may be stored in the RFID tag during operating of the xerographic apparatus. After the fuser member is removed from the xerographic apparatus, the performance of the fuser member may be evaluated by examining the run-time data. The fuser member may include a core, optionally made of metal, an insulating layer, and an RFID tag.
