Schreiner develops RFID label for metal application readability

Schreiner LogiData, the RFID Competence Center of Germany-based converter Schreiner Group, has developed an RFID foam label aimed at solving the readability problems associated with attaching RFID labels directly to metal.  

The RFID-Foam label separates the RFID antenna from the metallic substrate by means of a spacer and thus enables trouble-free read/write operations. The spacer consists of high-grade industrial foam and is durable and resistant. The RFID label itself has an adhesive area which enables direct attachment to a metallic surface.   

The RFID-Foam label can be equipped with a wide range of chip technologies and inlay sizes. This makes the label equally suitable for marking storage locations and loading aids as well as metal containers and cage pallets in logistics and identification of metallic parts and components in manufacturing. In addition, the RFID-Foam label helps simplify and accelerate asset management, service and customer support processes.  

The label can be customized with barcodes, plain text and logos. Additional security features such as holograms, BitSecure codes or color-shifting inks may be integrated as well.
