GAO RFID Expands On-Metal Tag Portfolio

GAO RFID has added a new series of three compact and cost-effective passive RFID tags for use on metal with optimum performance. The tags design eliminates most interference from metals and liquids and allows the tags to function efficiently in harsh environments. Their breakthrough technology promises 99.99% accuracy. These UHF Gen 2 transponders are useful for supply chain management and high-value asset tracking. These tags are supplied with a standard label covering finish or a ruggedized rigid case finish. The choice of the three tags depend on purpose and distance of usage: "The Max" is effective for long-distance multiple applications, "The Flex" is functional for medium-distance asset, and "The Prox" is suitable for short-distance IT assets.

The Max is a world class, long-range passive UHF RFID tag with a read range of greater than 40 feet, and offers ultimate tracking for applications like automotive conveyances, pallets, large high-value assets and cargoes (railroad and sea containers), and vehicles.

The Flex has an outstanding performance-to-size ratio, and is a medium-range passive UHF RFID tag with a read range greater than 16.5 feet providing enhanced visibility in a manufacturing or retail environment. The Flex performs precise asset registration and has security benefits; it is efficient for laptop tracking, shelf-edge retail and locating in a warehouse, automotive parts and components tracking, and tool tracking.

The Prox is small, well performing, short-range passive UHF RFID tag with a managed read range greater than 8 feet. It delivers incomparable accuracy for tracking of smaller high-value IT assets such as electronic devices, communications/network cards, servers, and asset rentals.
