New RAIN RFID Tag for Consumer Food & Beverage Goods
Smartrac's new Midas FlagTag, a RAIN RFID tag for consumer goods and industrial components with metallic, plastic and cardboard surfaces was used as part of a trial of a robotic checkout system at a Lawson store in Japan (see video here).
Smartrac’s unique Midas FlagTag design uses an item's metallic surface as part of the antenna structure. This ensures superior performance in less demanding physical environments, while providing cost advantages compared to foam-based inlays and hard tags typically designed for use on surfaces in tougher industrial environments.
The Midas FlagTag features an Impinj Monza R6 endpoint IC and utilizes RAIN RFID technology, based on the UHF RFID protocol standard developed by GS1 and ISO. The tag is intended for authentication of retail, pharma, healthcare or industrial items, as well as supply chain & asset management applications.
