Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

One company, two solutions, many applications

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

DAILY RFID recently unveiled two new products - a hygienic RFID animal ear tag and a reusable, waterproof RFID populace wristband.

The animal ear tag, operating in either 125 KHz or 134 KHz frequency, is constructed of medical-like polyurethane and is not easy for bacteria to grow; therefore minimizing chance of animal infection while deploying the RFID tracking system.


The animal ear tag is helpful for livestock management processes, such as disease control, feeding, and breeding practices. Using the RFID system, the tagged animal’s information including feeding, location, vaccination, and health history can be tracked in real-time.

The reusable RFID wristband operates at either 125 KHz or 13.56 MHz and is available in a range of standards-based chips. It silicone construction makes it waterproof and heat-resistance, even after high-temperature sterilization.

The wrist band is suitable as an entry ticket for special events as it requires no battery and can be read and written to more than 100,000 times. [end] 

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a pair of encapsulated RFID mini-transponders designed for applications in animal tagging and asset tracking.

The 12mm TRPGR30TGC and TRPGP40TGC mini-transponders were developed to enable users a battery-free solution for embedding RFID tags into smaller objects across a broader range of applications. These transponders come ready-to-use and are 100 percent backwards compatible with all of TI’s RFID software and readers including power modules, control modules and micro readers.
