TI's 2K bit overmolded tag is already at work in various applications including the tracking of 130,000 staff garments in the laundry service at one of Norway's top hospitals, St. Olavs University Hospital in Trondheim.
In addition, a milk producer is currently using TI's 2K bit OM tag to identify test vials of milk samples for controlling and tracking the complete chain of quality inspection.
Each vial includes an RFID transponder and must be correctly identified as it passes through a number of safety checks in a variety of harsh testing environments. Using TI's tags, the accuracy and safety of these checks are increased, and the reusability of the tag makes it more cost-effective.
"The durability of TI's new overmolded transponder, combined with the flexibility of two memory options and improved read performance, enables companies to select the best tag for their specific application and work environment," said Ulrich Denk, RFID product marketing manager for TI.
Texas Instruments is the world's largest integrated manufacturer of radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders and reader systems.
