Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a compact RFID tag that works on surfaces such as metal, which can otherwise impede radio waves.
The tag, 30mm long, 25mm wide and 0.5mm thick, can be attached to any material including plastic cards, wearables and metal objects. Despite its small size, it still has a communication range of about 2 […]
Thermal Transfer Technology is the ideal marking solution for flexible packaging
Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) was engineered as an advancement over traditional analog coding technologies like hot stamp and roller coders. TTO brings digital printing technology to flexible film packaging applications, common in many food industries. The printing process applies a code to a flexible film […]
What is NFC technology?
NFC, or near-field communication, is an easy and intuitive technology that allows you to use your mobile phone for special purposes. An NFC tag can share and link to information such as web pages, social media and all other sorts of other information generally. Other areas where NFC is starting to evolve […]
RFID systems can be broken down by the frequency band within which they operate: low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency. There are also two broad categories of RFID systems-passive and active. In the sections below we will explore the frequencies and types of RFID systems.
RFID Frequencies
Frequency refers to the size of the radio waves […]
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves to identify and track objects.
RFID takes the barcoding concept and digitizes it for the modern world providing the ability to:
Uniquely identify an individual item beyond just its product type
Identify items without direct line-of-sight
Identify many items (up to 1,000s) simultaneously
Identify items within […]
