Software To Run Chip Read Write
Just get a programmer and the software for the programmer should run a read/write once and suppress all the data to zeroes. I would be highly shocked if there isnt a default way to erase the chip, unless (and I doubt) it is read only.
Depending on your budget, it may be much simpler to purchase an RFID reader (which is also a writer) than to make one. There are many great readers on the market with fairly easy to use APIs.
Also, most of the major UHF RFID readers work with a common standard called LLRP (Low Level Reader Protocol); so, you can write one set of code and it will work with any reader that supports LLRP. The vast majority of UHF RFID tags work on the gen2 protocol (ISO 18000-6C), so just be sure your reader/writer does as well.Assuming you are using a gen2 RFID tag, writing to the tag is fairly simple. You simply tell the reader (via a command) to encode the tag.
Of course, there are a few considerations to note such as encoding must be in hexadecimal format and there are a few different memory blocks on the tag - EPC, Reserved, TID, and User. (Note: you can't encode to all memory blocks. For more basic information on this topic, see this blog post:.)Another thing to consider is how much data you would like to encode to the tag. The two primary memory blocks you'll be using are the EPC (typically 96 bits, but, on some tags, this number can be higher) and User (about 512 bits is standard, but there are some gen2 tags on the market that have much higher User memory).
RFID reading and writing is still specific to the technology of the tags, the hardware reader, and to the software device drivers. There is no common Windows API for RFID. However, there is a standard called UnifiedPOS that provides a wrapper around RFID scanners that makes them all behave the same. You write your app once to the UnifiedPOS interface, then you can use any RFID scanners that have a UnifiedPOS compatible Service Object. It's available as, and 'JavaPOS' for Java. There is also Microsoft's.When selecting the hardware for the tags and readers, consider if the manufacturer provides compatible service objects. It will make reading and writing much simpler.
Read And Write App Software
I'm not sure if by 'writer' you mean hardware (+ software) or if a software satisfy your needs. @Gp2mv3 mentions NFC, so if your tags fall into the NFC type subset of RFID, the simplest is to grab your phone, download a free NFC writer app and use that.If you want to write your own software, for Android platform there are a lot of examples, and I assume it's the same for other platforms too. I can imagine even a setup where you connect your phone to your PC through USB and you use it with a hybrid PC + mobile app companion software as a writer.

– gnat, Artjom B., Unihedron, EdChum, Dan D.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the, please. The actual hardware to read tags is not so complicated. You can get a reader like that can read tags fairly simply. The scanner just sends a unique 10 byte code every time it reads a tag, and you can handle that in just about any software fairly trivially.I have never written tags because I have never found a need to.
You can get tags for under a dollar each, and they all have a unique key. I just record them into my system and store them.I use rfid for a basic entry control system on my front door, using an arduino controller to send the codes to my central server, and then to open an electronic lock. My setup is sort of similar to what is described My server allows me to remotely access it, and to set up specific time based access restrictions for individual tags.

The microcontroller is not strictly required, but it allows me an easy way to interface with various hardware elements.
