Omni-ID, a global provider of industrial radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and visual-tagging solutions, has launched several new high-temperature tags with temperature resistance up to 225°C.
They are part of Omni-ID’s line of very small, low profile, Fit tags that reportedly provide the best size-to-performance ratio in the industry.
Manufacturing, healthcare, food and the energy industry frequently utilize processes where assets, products or the containers that they travel in are exposed to elevated temperatures frequently.
“We’ve seen an uptick in industrial RFID applications requiring tags that can withstand high temperatures, particularly in cyclic processes,” said George E. Daddis, Jr. PhD, CEO.
“For many industries the ability to track assets reliably, through a variety of processes, that cycle from normal or below zero temperatures, to very high temperatures and back again repeatedly, has been a challenge.”
“Market products today either don’t meet the temperature, form factor or cost requirements for use in these challenging applications.”
The company has just concluded a significant research program to establish the critical design and materials that can withstand repeated exposure to 225°C temperatures for 100’s of cycles of thermal shock (-20°C to +225°C).
As a result of this program, the company has added high temperature versions of its Fit 210 and Fit 400, and has added a new, even smaller form factor Fit 100 to the family of products.
