Boeing and Airbus have had several initiatives underway over the years with lower memory tags but higher memory silicon have simply not been available...until now!
The aerospace industry has been asking RFID technology vendors for high memory passive RFID tagging solutions since 2004. This was primarily to support the storage of maintenance history records on commercial aircraft parts and equipment. Boeing and Airbus have had several initiatives underway over the years with lower memory tags but higher memory silicon have simply not been available...until now!

The Rutgers Center for Innovative Ventures of Emerging Technologies (CIVET), together with RFID TagSource, announce the launch of the new Rutgers University RFID Research Center. The center is located on the Rutgers Busch Campus in Piscataway, New Jersey.
Exclusive Agreement Expands Tracient Technologies Presence in North America
Camden, New Jersey – October 20, 2009 – RFID TagSource, a leading specialty provider of RFID tagging solutions, and Tracient Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of wireless handheld RFID readers, announced they have signed a distribution agreement whereby RFID TagSource will distribute Tracient’s RFID reader products in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
There is a good bit of confusion caused in the industry as a result of tag providers that OEM tags from manufacturers and then brand them as their own. Vendors do this primarily to "Lock In" customers...which is great for them and not so great for their customers.
The RFID TagSource model is different. As a vendor independent specialty provider of durable standards based RFID tags we feel it is important that you know exactly what you are getting. We carefully evaluate every tag (and vendor) available and offer only the best for our customers.
Since founding RFID TagSource in 2006 we have developed an impressive list of RFID technology and solution partner relationships. These organizations are among the best in the industry driving innovation and delivering solutions that provide real business value to their customers.
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 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.
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.
Given the current economic conditions I really didn't know what to expect from the 2009 RFID Journal Live conference. Yes, attendance was down significantly...but so was the hype. In past years it seemed as if there was a concerted focus on a limited set of industry specific topics such as supply chain centric case/pallet tagging and item level tagging in the pharmaceutical industry. This year was more broad and pragmatic. The RFID industry is maturing...and this is a very good thing.
