RFID Device Offers "Smart" Labels

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 10/1/1998

The "Tag-It" radio-frequency identification device (RFID) transponder from Texas Instruments is small enough to be laminated between layers of paper or plastic to produce low-cost, consumable labels. Unlike bar codes, Tag-it transponders do not require a line of sight for reading.

These new transponders have read/write capabilities so information can be continuously updated. The new technology also allows simultaneous identification so that multiple tagged items may be identified.
