RFID Sensor Tag: Medical Product Logistics

DHL develops RFID sensor tag with IBM and partners in the pharmaceutical industry. The RFID sensor tag is used successfully in the overseas transport of diagnostic material and vaccines. ...

... "A special RFID sensor tag controls and documents the temperature of items throughout transport. The measuring data are available at every read point so that senders, recipients and inspectors alike can check the condition of the products at any time. After all, fluctuations in temperature outside of the recommended range can have a negative effect on the lifespan of medical products such as vaccines. The new sensor tag is a combination of temperature sensor and RFID radio chip. It permits continuous monitoring and recording of a pre-defined temperature range as well as read-out of the data at any time, without having to open the shipment. Thanks to the sensor's special design, it can be attached especially close to the product, not just on the inside of the packaging as before. In addition, the current lifespan of the product can be calculated and read out at any time. This was previously possible only at the end of a transport. " ...

Active RFID Tags: Sense Respond ...

Savi introduces active RFID tags that sense and respond to environmental conditions in the global supply chain. ...

... "In addition to RFID components that automatically locate goods in the supply chain, the ST-673 and ST-674 contain sensors that monitor temperature and humidity changes of the container's contents or other supply chain assets. When commissioning the tags, users can set acceptable temperature and humidity ranges tailored to the characteristics of the particular goods to be monitored. The Savi ST-673 and ST-674 are active RFID tags that provide visibility to assets and shipments as they move through the supply chain. In addition, the tags periodically record the environmental status data to an event log in the Savi SensorTag's memory. If the collected data rises or falls outside the acceptable condition range, the Savi SensorTag sends a real-time alarm to a fixed or mobile RF reader, and notification of the temperature or humidity change is escalated via a web application, cell phone or email, allowing the problem to be addressed immediately before spoilage or damage occurs. The complete environmental event logs can be uploaded to handheld readers or to fixed readers at stationary sites such as yards and warehouses in the supply chain. This enables users to identify the time and location of unacceptable environmental conditions, or to confirm that acceptable ranges, and therefore shipment quality, are maintained throughout the journey.

The ST-673 and ST-674 sensor tags are each about 6x2 inches, have memory storage of up to 128K bytes of data and are highly ruggedized for harsh environments. Savi Technology's active RFID tags, which have been deployed to track over two million shipments in over 2,000 supply chain locations for defense and commercial customers, include read ranges of up to 300 feet, beepers for audio location and rugged designs that can withstand the most harsh climatic conditions. Savi's family of active RFID tags are based on Savi's EchoPoint Technology, an innovative technology that combines Ultra High Frequency (433.92 MHz) and Low Frequency (123 kHz) communications for both long-range and more precise spot-level location. This technology also enables data to be written to the tags while they're in-transit, as well as to capture important data about the shipment from mobile readers. " ...

Plastic RFID Electronics Demonstrated by Philips

Philips Research crew demonstrates RFID electronic based on plastic ...

... "Scientists at Philips Research have created a fully functional 13.56 MHz RFID tag based entirely on plastic electronics. In contrast to conventional silicon-chip-based RFID tags, a plastic electronics RFID chip can be printed directly onto a plastic substrate along with an antenna without involving complex assembly steps. This could pave the way for the packaging industry to replace existing barcodes by a low-cost RFID tag that provides individual packages with a unique item-level identification code - something not feasible with current barcode technology.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, based on remotely retrieving information via radio waves from miniature electronic circuits called RFID tags. Philips has now realized the first plastic-electronics-based tag that is capable of transmitting multi-bit digital identification codes at 13.56 MHz � the dominant industry-standard radio frequency for RFID tag applications. As an additional demonstrator for the technology, scientists at Philips Research have also developed a 64-bit code generator, showing the practicality of building plastic electronic circuits with the complexity required for item-level tagging.

Performance results for these circuits will be presented at this year's International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC, February 5-9, San Francisco, CA, USA) in a paper that will also be awarded the conference's Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence. Being a world leader in the RFID business, Philips supplies silicon-based components for applications such as supply chain management, public transport, pharmaceuticals and animal tracking. Current silicon-based tags have excellent performance, and when produced in volume, can be manufactured at low cost. Philips is also conducting research into plastic-electronics-based RFID tags, since these tags have the potential to be manufactured in a radically different way, namely via even lower-cost reel-to-reel and other in-line processing techniques. " ...

Active RFID: Temperature Monitoring ...

LogicaCMG combines temperature sensing and active RFID technology to perform condition monitoring ...

... "One of the demonstrations focuses on a project LogicaCMG deployed for the Norwegian high speed train operator, FlytoGet. The system monitors the wheel bearing temperature and alerts the maintenance department if wheel temperatures rise too fast or exceed a pre-defined temperature level. This prevents wheel bearings from overheating and wheels from blocking thus avoiding consequential damage on infrastructure, axels and bearings. LogicaCMG fitted the wheel bearings with a temperature sensor combined with an active RFID tag and installed readers on all the wagons. The Radio Frequency reader and the GPS and GSM/GPRS communication facilities allow the wireless exchange of information and the remote monitoring of the temperature of each wheel bearing. Another functionality is the tracking and tracing of the position and routing of trains in real-time. This project is an excellent example for LogicaCMG's solutions which are tailored for customers needs and integrate different technologies to address them. " ...

High Durability RFID Equipment for Harsh Environments ...

High Durability RFID Equipment for Harsh Environments: Sampling of durable RFID equipment supports operation of RFID capability in harsh operating environments ...

Omron: Omron RFID systems function in a wide range of operating conditions, including harsh environments,where bar coding is not practical. RFID Tags, RFID antennas and RFID controllers are industrially hardened to withstand wet, oily and other adverse conditions. Read reliability in RFID asset tracking and automatic identification is not affected by a misaligned tag or compromised by airborne dust, dirt, oil mist, or other factory conditions. RFID asset tracking systems are non-contact and non-line of sight, which allows them to read and write through non - metallic objects, such as plastic conveyors.

Escort Memory Systems UHF Series / UHF525HT: The UHF525HT is a rugged high-temperature long-range Ultra High Frequency (902-928 MHz) tag. This tag is designed to work at up to four feet. It is ideally suited for Body & Assembly and Paint Shop applications in the automotive industry, the UHF525HT is the only high-temperature tag in the market that survives over 204 Degrees C.

IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, long-range active RFID systems: Long Range Identification: RFID tags can be read from up to 300 feet (100 meters). This allows assets to be monitored in a very large environment with reliable results. Durability: Bar codes become unreadable if they are dirty or scuffed; RFID tags function in almost any harsh environment such as fog, ice and dust. RFID, therefore, reduces the problems associated with those "contact" or "line-of-sight" technologies. This means RFID can operate in harsh environments and will not be affected by temperature changes.

ScanSource RFID Edge: The significant advantage of RFID systems is the no contact, non-line-of-sight nature of the technology. Tags can be read through a variety of substances such as snow, fog, ice, paint, crusted grime, and other visually and environmentally challenging conditions, where barcodes or other optically read technologies would be useless. RFID tags can also be read in challenging circumstances at remarkable speeds, in most cases responding in less than 100 milliseconds.

Zebra RFID Printer R110XiIIIPlus: Built upon Zebra's highly regarded Xi platform, the R110XiIIIPlus is designed for high performance and mission-critical ruggedness in the most demanding environments. It delivers the legendary round-the-clock reliability and heavy-gauge steel durability of Zebra's high-performance Xi series as well as full 4-inch print width, 203-dot per-inch resolution and the extensive connectivity choices of 110XiIIIPlus, making it ideal for shipping, warehousing, and manufacturing.
