3M advances in RFID on a broad front

Friday, 04 April 2008

The giant corporation 3M is advancing in RFID on a broad front. It is one of the leading RFID system integrators in libraries, where it has tended to use Texas Instruments HF inlays that are not yet printed, and its balls with self levelling RFID tags in them for location and identity are buried along the length of gas and other pipelines in the USA and are starting to perform a similar function in China - see our article China repositions in RFID and prints more Part 2.

RFID tape and printed RFID

The 3M project to provide location for snow plows and other vehicles by RFID tape alongside freeways was abandoned some years ago but 3M has a major program to print RFID labels using reel to reel printed transistors and antennas. In this division, the printed electronics activities encompass:

Logic organic
Memory
Other components
Printing inkjet
RFID
Production machinery

Mu-Gahat Launches Custom UHF RFID Inlay Design and Low-Volume Production Service

Thursday, 03 April 2008

Mu-Gahat provides more rapid RFID tag time to market for label converters, integrators, design engineers and end users.

Mu-Gahat officially launched today by announcing its revolutionary custom RFID inlay design service, low-volume production minimums, and stock inlay line.

“Label converters, integrators, design engineers, and frustrated end-users have needed a solution for rapid prototyping and low-medium volume RFID production for quite some time. Our research showed that many customers do not need millions of inlays at a time. Mu-Gahat has developed specialized processes and equipment designed to meet today’s prototyping and just-in-time production requirements.” said Baxter Watkins, CEO.

Since RFID tags often detune when attached to objects, the ability to test actual, individual tag variations is imperative to ensure that a theoretical design performs optimally in its real-world environment. Mu-Gahat inlays can be custom tuned to meet specific application and frequency requirements.

CISC extends its RFID simulation platform supporting EPCglobal HF AI standard

Wednesday, 02 April 2008
CISC Semiconductor - a design and consulting company for industries which develop microelectronic systems - is extending its simulation library platform to support product vendors and system integrators in design and evaluation of RFID products and systems based on the new EPCglobal HF AI protocol. Technology demonstrations hosted by EPCglobalTM in spring 2006 compared the performance of passive high frequency (HF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) tags in order to show advantages of either HF or UHF for various application requirements.

SkyeTek Introduces Security Solution for RFID Tags

Unlike many RFID reader offerings rely on tag manufacturers to provide security for RFID tag memory, Westminster, Colorado based SkyeTek introduces advanced RFID readers that implement security onto generic tags. The solution allows customers to switch RFID tags without finacial penalty. The results are immediate cost savings as well as long-term investment protection by allowing customers to switch tags without penalty.

According to SkyeTek, this solution allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product designers to control their own security requirements and achieves the highest level of security in the industry while maintaining the lowest cost for customers.

Currently some tag manufacturers provide little or no tag security while others with the security features are priced with a premium. "Most companies consider security as an afterthought, but at SkyeTek security is a priority and we integrate innovative security capabilities into both HF and UHF readers," says Rob Balgley, CEO of SkyeTek. As part of a full security solution, SkyeTek supports several proprietary encryption algorithms that are generally tailored to provide enhanced security for...

Advanced ID Applauds U.S. NHTSAs Consumer Advisory on Tire Safety

Advanced ID Corporation, a leading developer of RFID technology for livestock tracking, pet recovery and supply chain applications, with a focus on tire management, applauds the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) recent Consumer Advisory on the dangers of aged tires. On June 2, NHTSA kicked off the summer driving season with a warning to motorists to check their tires -- including the spare - for signs of wear, under-inflation and age. The season's heat, especially in hot climates, can take its toll on worn, old or improperly inflated tires leading to tread separations, crashes and rollovers, the advisory said.

"We believe that NHTSA's consumer advisory on tire safety is going to have a significant affect on the rubber manufacturers - this is the first time the U.S. government has taken a public position on the issue," said Dan Finch, President and CEO of Advanced ID. "We have been actively supporting tire safety by consulting with and encouraging the tire industry to adopt the RFID as a solution to identifying, tracking and measuring tires from manufacture to scrap. Our global partners around the...
