Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

A library smart label and a reader for access control from DAILY

Thursday, July 22, 2010

DAILY RFID announced two new products now available to consumers including a high-frequency RFID label designed for library management and a low-frequency RFID reader for access control applications.

The RFID label for library management features adhesive 3M glue so it can be attached to any item – books, CDs, and DVDs – with the information about the item, such as title, author, origin, and type.


The smart label is also ISO15693 compliant and operates at 13.56 MHz for high efficiency in library management including automated book handling and theft deterrence.

Additionally, DAILY has released its 125 KHz low-frequency RFID reader designed for access control applications. The rugged reader provides a read range of up to 100 cm for both indoors and outdoors. It features multiple data transmission ports, as well as two LED signal lamps, making it a candidate for applications, such as parking control, personal identification, and logistic operations requiring a long read range. [end]
