The IN Tag is ideal for items that need to be securely identified and that are regularly subjected to high thermal and/or mechanical stress conditions. Examples include items that undergo hot water cleaning processes or are used in other high temperature environments found in some heavy industries.
The IN Tag family products were also developed to satisfy the specific market requests of the international food industry. For example the tags comply with the stipulations of the new EU directive 02/72/EC so that they can be used in direct contact with food and drinks.
"The success of an RFID project is proven not when a pilot runs well for a few months, but when 100% of a large number of tags still work reliably and consistently for many years after their deployment," says Philippe Held, Business Unit Manager for the Business Unit Industry & Logistics at Sokymat. "The IN Tag is designed and manufactured to meet extremely high quality levels to ensure that our customers and RFID project decision makers can put their minds to rest without worrying about tag performance and reliability; beginning with the initial operation of an RFID system and for many years thereafter."
"The market response to the IN Tag has been immediate. Today, around the world, various industrial and logistics projects have been initiated using this new family of products," continues Philippe Held. "Customers are reporting attractive savings from these advanced automation and logistics solutions in sectors such as food processing, the automotive industry, and container tracking."
The electronic component of the IN Tag is designed to have an optimal reading performance/diameter ratio. With a 50mm IN Tag, a reading distance of up to 1m is achievable.
Comprising 20mm, 30mm, and 50mm diameter discs, the IN Tag family is available with 125 kHz or 134.2 kHz, ISO 11784/85 or ISO 18000-2 low frequency read-only transponders, 256 bit or 2 kbit read/write transponders, or 13.56 MHz high frequency ISO 15693 / 18000-3 transponders. The IN Tag has excellent thermal stability and can withstand peak temperatures of up to 140°C for many hours. Thanks to a new generation thermoplastic casing, the tag has a high chemical stability level and is resistant to most standard industrial chemicals.
