Tageos expands RFID inlays portfolio

Tageos has launched two new RFID inlays developed in collaboration with EM Microelectronic: the EOS-920 and the EOS-620 Seal, designed for product authentication, supply chain efficiency and consumer engagement.

The EOS-920 EM4332 NFC inlay combines Tageos' antenna design and manufacturing capabilities with EM Microelectronic's chip technology, offering performance for secure product authentication, smart packaging and proof of presence applications. The NFC Forum Type 2-compliant product features a pre-programmed unique 7-byte ID, 308-bytes user memory and cryptographic functions for enhanced security. With a compact antenna size of 20 mm diameter, the product is available in dry, wet and plastic-face delivery formats.

The EOS-620 Seal EM4425 expands Tageos' anti-tamper inlay portfolio. The product features a tamper-loop design and tamper-detection interface powered by EM Microelectronic's em|echo-V ICs, enabling both HF/NFC and RAIN RFID (UHF) dual-frequency use cases on a single chip. RAIN RFID applications include supply chain management and inventory visibility in retail, food and beverage, healthcare and pharma, logistics and manufacturing. HF/NFC functionalities allow consumers and retailers to verify product origin with a smartphone tap, while unlocking digital experiences, enriched product information and personalized loyalty programs.

The EOS-620 Seal EM4425 inlay complies with NFC Forum Type 5 specifications and offers user-configurable non-volatile shared memory accessible via NFC and RAIN RFID. The product is available in dry, wet and paper-face form factors.

'The em|linq chips give every product a secure digital identity that consumers can verify instantly with a simple tap,' said Pierre Muller, manager of the RFID business unit at EM Microelectronic. 'Each interaction builds trust and ensures authenticity, making transparency real and protection reliable, whether for medicines, premium beverages or high-value goods. Furthermore, the em|echo-V HF-UHF combination bridges the chasm between the B2B use cases using professional, closed-loop RAIN RFID infrastructure and B2C use cases, allowing each consumer to interact with the product via their smartphone in a complete open-loop environment, making it an ideal support for implementing Digital Product Passport.'

'By enabling highly secure product authentication, enhanced consumer engagement and improved supply chain transparency, all without compromising functionality, Tageos once again underscores its leadership in RFID and wireless IoT innovation,' added Hector Gomez, vice president of specialty products at Tageos. 'The new EOS-920 EM4332 and EOS-620 Seal EM4425 inlays reinforce our commitment to support label converters and their customers to build trust directly into their products.'

Tageos' market partners, ForgeStop and 4iD Solutions, have already received significant customer interest with first deployments such as IFA Celtics based on these new products. At two upcoming tradeshows in India, CPHI and PMEC 2025 (November 25-27, booth 15A.A90) and the Brews and Spirits Expo 2025 (November 27-29, booth B203), all partners will jointly showcase their latest innovations.
