What's New
After months of planning and a significant amount of effort the Rutgers University RFID Laboratory and Testing Center is up and running. RFID TagSource played a leading role in the formation of this lab and have pledged our continued support. As noted in a recent article in Packaging World Magazine the lab will offer a variety of testing services and be available for academic and industry training...but that is just the beginning of the story.
The use of passive UHF RFID tags in the Aerospace and Defense market goes back to 2003. At that time the global standards had evolved to a point where organizations such as McCarran airport in Las Vegas and Hong Kong airport moved forward with plans to use first generation EPC RFID tags for tracking baggage at those respective airports.
In 2005 Boeing announced an RFID initiative in support of the launch of the new 787 Dreamliner program. As part of this program Boeing suppliers were to apply high memory passive UHF RFID tags to a vast collection of parts being installed on the 787. The planning and education that took place to support this initiative has since spawned a number of RFID projects across the aerospace industry in areas unforeseen when the program was initiated.
The shipping and logistics industry has been using active RFID and GPS based technologies for many years tracking trucks, trailers, rail cars, and shipping containers around the globe. While there are many applications that require the enhanced capabilities of these technologies, recent advancements in durable on-metal UHF passive RFID tags work sufficiently well to support many of the same applications at a much lower cost. Furthermore, the EPC Gen2 UHF RFID standard is a truly global standard providing total interoperability by an ever increasing collection of tag and reader manufacturers. This provides users with a great deal of flexibility as compared to proprietary active RFID solutions.
The majority of the RFID tag products we provide are sold through our network of Solution Provider Partners. In most cases we can find off the shelf products that address their needs. For more challenging applications we work together with our partners to develop tagging solutions that support their unique requirements.
Going above and beyond to support customer success is an integral part of our business. It's what we do...and our customers (and their customers) appreciate that very much.
Tracking hazardous materials and maintaining critical equipment is increasingly important to provide for public good while supporting public safety and homeland security initiatives. The petrochemical industry has been leveraging technologies provided by trucking and rail carriers. Where these have provided great visibility of large containers they do not provide visibility of individual items such as gas cylinders and specialty chemical containers.
In the petroleum industry equipment inspection and visibility of critical parts enable the industry to address the global requirements for efficient distribution of petroleum products. Passive RFID tags provide valuable tools for maintaining inspection records and tracking equipment in this vitally important industry.
Improved visibility of high value IT assets has long been a goal of the information technology industry. In the past, equipment and data were locked up in the enterprise IT environments. With the advent of the internet, intranets, laptops, hand-held computers and phones, and portable storage media, high value equipment, and higher value data, are increasingly mobile. Current methods for tracking these high value assets are primarily manual and error prone. Organization have tried bar code based solutions to attempt to address this problem, but the “line-of-site” requirement of barcode and the placement and durability of the labels often make these implementations impractical.

An recent Wall Street Journal article entitled "New Ways to Use RFID" provides a long overdue positive spin on RFID by a globally recognized business publication. Written by Michael Totty, a news editor for The Journal Report in San Francisco, the article features several examples of how companies are benefiting from using RFID technology. To his credit, Mr. Totty did not include a single reference to the Wal-Mart RFID project often mentioned by traditional business publications.
The overwhelming majority of requests we get are for tags that must work for the most demanding applications. We are constantly putting tags to the test to make sure we can rapidly meet the needs of our customers. We recently ran a battery of tests to test the durability of tags in high temperature environments including autoclaves. The results are in...and they are not all in line with vendor claims.
