Worldlabel.com patents process for accurate embedding of RFID tags to RFID Labels (smart labels)
Worldlabel.com, New York, USA - a manufacturer of laser and inkjet labels and barcode labels with presence in the USA and in Asia through Innotech Resources PTE LTD in Singapore has received worldwide PCT patent pending rights for a system and method for batch conversion for embedding RFID tags (Radio Frequency Identification) to RFID Labels. This method to convert RFID tags to RFID labels allows the tag to be embedded into a paper label with varying sizes according to customer requirements.
(PRWEB) October 5, 2004 -- This system provides a low cost method of
converting RFID tags to be embedded accurately into a paper label even though
each batch might uses varying size labels and require the RFID tag to be
embedded in different areas of the label. The methods allows for mass conversion
efficiently. In this manner there is a big reduction in material waste and a
reduction in labor costs is achieved as well when compared to the current manual
procedure of "Meet, Match and Stick".
Our invention is also user
friendly and offers a much faster turn around for converting RFID labels
especially when converting separate batches. Tags can be embedded in any part of
the label to meet specific situations. As a result, the costs of RFID labels are
significantly reduced thus making RFID labels a more favored option in
manufacturing, logistics and other harsh environments where bar code labels
might not perform.
"We are at the forefront of converting RFID labels. We
have done several evaluations and tests and the results have been 100% positive"
says Alex Choong, managing director and co-inventor. Wal-mart (NYSE:WMT) RFID
labeling requirements which uses a UHF frequency. Wal-mart has requested that
all their suppliers start using RFID labels by beginning of 2005. The request by
the world's biggest retailer set off a scramble among companies including
Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc. to develop workable
RFID systems. The conditions Wal-mart requires have been achieved by our new
method of manufacturing RFID labels.
Typically, about 20% of the RFID
labels in a rolls have defective chips, but there's often no way to
differentiate the functioning and nonfunctioning tags until after they've been
placed on products. Our system and methods of manufacturing increases the
reliability and consistency of RFID labels to 100% accuracy. This is important
to the end users and manufacturers because it increases their throughput, it
decreases the operational time that they need to print those labels, and the
reliability of the label helps them integrate other high-speed applications. You
can print bar codes on our labels embedded with UHF Class 1 and Class 0 RFID
tags with most popular thermal label printers. Embedded Tags can meet the
requirements of both USA and European standards.
"We are producing a high
quality label with excellent accuracy and at lower cost levels. We are excited,
having increased the functionality of labels and started a revolution. We have
production capacity and are ready to take on the onslaught." Mr. Choong said.
Our RFID LABELS can be used for:
Airline baggage management
Library systems and rental
Supply Chain logistics
Postal and parcel
tracking
Fraud control and identification
Vehicle Identification
Retail, including electronic article surveillance
Personal
identification and ticketing
Many other applications
