Beontag has released a range of tags with radio-frequency identification (RFID) functionality, leveraging the new Impinj M800 series RAIN RFID tag chips.
The Falcon M800, Pacer M800, Swift M800 and Setter M800 offer specialised antenna design to meet applications in both retail and industrial markets.
The Impinj M800 series tag chips are the latest generation IC that focus on readability and reliability. The Beontag tags will leverage the new IC for lower power consumption and have been engineered for an international supply chain, with global antenna tuning.
The tags are said to enable more challenging applications to benefit from RFID, while applications requiring smaller tags can now also achieve reliable reads. This allows for lower power on hand-held reader devices, resulting in longer battery life.
Impinj senior product management director commented: “The Impinj M800 series ICs offer improved tag readability and reliability along with features to mitigate tag clutter and Impinj Protected Mode for enhanced privacy.”
RFID technology is increasingly being used for different types of packaging. Recently, Checkpoint Systems, a division of label and packaging company CCL Industries, partnered with McDonald’s France to integrate RFID into the chain’s new reusable containers.
GlobalData analysis finds that FedEx, Toyo Seikan Group Holdings, Toppan, Avery Dennison, and Ensurge Micropower are the leading patent filers in RFID-integrated packaging.
