Hana RFID launches ultra-compact TX5015 inlay

Hana Technologies, a RAIN RFID company, has released the TX5015 M830, a new ARC-certified RFID inlay designed for apparel, consumer electronics, loss prevention and sporting goods applications. Built for the demands of retail, supply chain and logistics sectors, the TX5015 redefines performance in a compact footprint.
 
At nearly half the size of the traditional 50x30 mm inlay, the TX5015 delivers full-size performance in an ultra-compact form factor. Powered by the latest Impinj M830 tag chip, this inlay delivers superior sensitivity, reliability and encoding speed.
 
In addition, the TX5015 M830 enhances production efficiency by enabling higher units-per-hour (UPH) throughput for label converters, ultimately accelerating time to market. It also reduces material consumption, which lessens environmental impact, and cuts down shipping costs by optimizing packaging density. For customers, supplying retail playbook users such as Walmart, Dick’s, Macy’s, Dillard’s and Nordstroms, this means not only greater flexibility in tag placement —especially in tight or hard-to-tag areas — but also better operational and economic performance.
 
'Our engineering team worked closely with Impinj and industry partners to develop a compact solution that doesn’t compromise performance,' said Jeremy Liu, chief technology officer of Hana RFID. 'The TX5015 represents a new benchmark in size and efficiency, and it reflects our continued commitment to driving innovation in the RFID industry.'
 
The TX5015 M830 supports Gen2X, an enhancement to the RAIN RFID radio standard developed by Impinj. Gen2X improves read speed, increases tag read range and increases accuracy, especially in dense or complex environments. It reduces inventory count times and enhances readability of small or embedded tags, helping to lower labor and hardware costs. It also improves directional accuracy at dock doors, declutters shipment loading zones, supports loss prevention at self-checkout and addresses privacy and anti-counterfeiting concerns — all while operating seamlessly with the RAIN RFID radio standard (GS1 Gen2, standardized as ISO/IEC 18000-63).
 
'We’re thrilled to see innovative new inlays like the TX5015 M830, which take advantage of the improved tag readability and reliability of the Impinj M800 series tag chips and Gen2X,' said Gahan Richardson, executive vice president and general manager, Impinj Business Unit. 'We are excited to work with Hana RFID to deliver high-performance inlays in compact sizes, enabling businesses to leverage RAIN RFID item connectivity in more use cases.'
 
The TX5015 M830 is now available for sampling and volume production.
