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.

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.
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.
The EPC Gen2 passive UHF RFID standard adopted in 2004 required that RFID tags/silicon must provide a minimum of 96 bit of data to support the EPC numbering scheme. For supply chain applications 96 bits is all they need and I do not see this changing anytime soon. For asset management applications, where the overwhelming majority of our customers are deploying RFID, a unique identifier is all that is required.
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.
