RFID has proven its worth in inventory management, authentication, and customer experience solutions. Enabling these solutions together used to require both, NFC (HF) and RAIN RFID (UHF) products. Smartrac’s new dual-frequency RFID inlays and tags combine both technologies in one innovative, high-performance solution.

In many brand, retail, supply chain, RTI (Returnable Transport Items) and industrial applications, RFID products face environmental stresses that challenge conventional inlays and tags but don’t justify the use of industrial-grade hard tags. Now, Smartrac has the answer: its new DURA range, and DOGBONE® DURA in particular.

Supply Chain and Inventory Management have always been among the most important RFID retail application areas worldwide – and need to be done as fast and efficient as possible. New MINIWEB RAIN RFID inlays and tags make it happen.

IDTechEx Research estimates that the market for RFID products will grow to $13.4 billion in 2020, from $11 billion in 2018. The adoption of RFID enhanced labels in many industries is creating additional opportunities for label converters. This white paper provides insights into where the biggest market opportunities are and how to seize them.

RFID hard tags are often used in critical and demanding industrial and logistical application scenarios that require ultimate performance and quality. To achieve this, Smartrac's R&D and manufacturing facility in Wehnrath, Germany, the company’s competence center for hard tags, has invested in a high-tech anechoic test chamber.

Surgical instruments are a challenge for today’s RFID technology: made of stainless steel, they are delicate, and are sterilized at extreme temperatures (up to 121°C/250°F). Tiny, super-high frequency tags (SHF, 5.8 GHz) are needed to create a digital copy of the sterile goods cycle.

Our Green Tag Program, developed together with our technology partner 4E Antenna, features RFID products that live up to their sustainability promise even under strict Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) scrutiny. In the video you can see how the program responds to that customer demand without compromising product quality or performance.

We recognized that a growing number of customers value environmentally friendly RFID products and are very keen to use them, partly driven by the ever-growing deployment of transponders in ever broader areas of application. Our Green Tag Program, developed together with our market Partner 4E Antenna, features RFID products that live up to their sustainability promise even under strict Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) scrutiny. The program responds to that customer demand without compromising product quality or performance.

Sustainability is a hot topic, not only for retail, but notably in the apparel sector. Younger customers in particular are environmentally conscious, urging retailers to source responsibly. For RFID, Smartrac makes that easy – with new green RAIN RFID (UHF) inlays that show convincing results from in-depth Life Cycle Assessments.

Beverage kegs, gas cylinders and other curved metal returnable transport items (RTI) place high and quite particular demands on RFID tags. Together with our market partner Wilms Supply Chain Technologies, Smartrac provides a solution – and proves its ability to listen to customers’ needs and provide technology innovations.
