What RFID readers work with the XSKIN series?
The XSKIN series inlays are all standard passive UHF (Ultra High Frequency) labels that comply with EPCglobal Gen2v2 and ISO 18000-63 standards, also referred to as RAIN RFID.
A wide range of fixed and handheld RFID readers is available, with frequencies and antenna polarization matching the RFID labeling solutions’ to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
What are the applications of XSKIN Gamma in healthcare?
RFID that can withstand gamma irradiation enables applications in healthcare environments where traditional RFID labels might be damaged or compromised:
Medical Devices: In healthcare settings, RFID labels resistant to gamma irradiation are used to track and manage medical devices, ensuring that instruments and equipment maintain traceability even after sterilization processes involving gamma irradiation.
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain: In the pharmaceutical industry, where sterilization is crucial, RFID labels are employed to track the movement of drugs and medical supplies through the supply chain. This is particularly important for products that undergo gamma irradiation during the manufacturing process.
- Scrub Inventory: Gamma irradiation is commonly used to sterilize scrubs, personal protective equipment (PPE), and medical supplies. This process eliminates microorganisms, ensuring the safety and sterility of these items. Whether for single-use or reusable garments, gamma irradiation is chosen for its effectiveness in penetrating materials without the need for heat or chemicals, making it a preferred method for maintaining cleanliness in controlled environments.
What are the applications of XSKIN Gamma in food processing and packaging?
In the food industry, RFID labels resistant to gamma irradiation can be applied to track the processing and reusable packaging of perishable goods.
This helps maintain transparency and traceability in the supply chain, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
How is XSKIN Gamma used in electronics manufacturing?
RFID labels resistant to gamma irradiation can be applied in electronics manufacturing processes, especially in cleanroom environments, to track the movement and status of sensitive electronic components.
What types of assets and products can be tagged with the XSKIN Theta?
The XSKIN Theta RFID label is exceptionally versatile, designed to tag a diverse range of assets in various industries. It is particularly useful in environments where traditional labels might fail due to exposure to high temperatures and rigorous processing conditions. Typical applications include tagging automotive components during manufacturing processes, electronic devices that undergo stringent quality control, and other industrial products that require durable and reliable tracking solutions. This adaptability makes Theta an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking efficient asset management.
