STMicroelectronics and FEIG Electronic have combined their RFID knowledge in a logistics solution that can help cut numerous costs and enhance flexibility for vendors of high-tech products such as smart industrial, consumer and medical devices.
The companies have partnered to create a production-ready contactless system capable of personalizing palletized items containing ST’s ST25DV NFC dynamic tags in just a few seconds, eliminating the need to power-up or even remove the products from their packaging.
With this system, end users can eliminate the costs associated with inline programming and leverage contactless NFC technology.
The solution extends the readable range for contactless NFC interactions beyond the typical distance of only a few centimeters, to create a 1m x 1m x 1m readable space. By connecting the FEIG ID LR2500 long-range reader/writer to two pairs of long-range antennas positioned on either side of the reading area, the FEIG system can simultaneously program batches of products containing the ST25DV dynamic NFC tags placed in the reading area.
“Our ST25DV dynamic NFC tag is a catalyst for creative contactless applications that enhance numerous activities including smart manufacturing, asset tracking, and brand protection,” said Sylvain Fidelis, Memory Division marketing director, STMicroelectronics. “In this case, the tag’s dual RF and host interfaces and large built-in non-volatile memory let FEIG’s powerful long-range system update the personalization settings of already-packaged products quickly and efficiently.”
“Working with ST, we have produced a game-changing innovation that enables product manufacturers to boost productivity, save factory space, and benefit from extra flexibility to organize product personalization and shipping,” said Wolfgang Meissner, senior product manager at FEIG Electronic GmbH.
