Confidex Launches A High-Speed Testing And Coding System For Gen 2 UHF RFID Labels
The Finnish RFID product and service provider, Confidex, launches MR01 – an innovative testing system for UHF RFID inlays and labels. MR01 is the first industrial testing and coding system in the market to offer quality control for the manufacture of Gen 2 labels. The device is also superior in speed and reliability.
"We believe that the year 2006 will be the breakthrough for the Class1 Gen2 protocol in retail and logistics. At this stage of adoption, the quality of RFID labels is the critical factor in ensuring the inauguration of the technology. We will actively continue to bring new products for RFID manufacturing, as the need for high volume deliveries grows ", explains CEO Timo Lindström of Confidex.
MR01 offers the fastest and the most reliable quality control for UHF inlays and labels in the market. It has a read testing speed of up 200 000 tags / hour (C1G2) and a write testing speed up to 18 000 tags / hour (C1G2). The system provides two separate inline testing points – a feature which has been specifically developed to serve the needs of the RFID manufacturing and label converting. It is possible to measure the yield of the process for example lamination, if there is testing point before and after the process.
One of the key benefits of MR01 is its' user-friendliness. The system operates without a host PC or complex user interfaces. MR01 can also be connected to a computer, which enables data collection for statistical process control. The new users of MR01 do not need profound RFID knowledge to operate the test system independently.
"Our mission is to help packaging and printing industries to develop more reliable and lower cost supply chain for RFID tags. We fullfil our mission by developing and supplying industrial RFID manufacturing technologies. MR01 was developed to meet the needs of quality assurance, speed, and cost-efficiency in fast moving inline applications of RFID inlay manufacturing and label converting", comments Lari Kytölä, Partner at Confidex.
Together the features of MR01 bring about unforeseen savings to the operational system costs by enabling high-speed testing without slowing down the system performance.
The MR01 is available for European and North American UHF RFID regulations. Confidex will launch the HF module for MR01 in April.
