Harland Simon today carried out the first set of live tests on the next generation of RFID Tags. The new tags are based on the very latest technology which it is hoped will solve the problem of useable range and affordable price per unit. These first tests were carried out with the UK distributor of this revolutionary technology. The outcomes of the tests were positive in the areas of read range and discrimination.

A Harland Simon spokesperson stated “ the design of these new tags offers the holy grail in RFID terms for the publishing and paper production industries, with the apparent ability to deliver usable range, 60 feet in free air, and low cost per unit, around €1. Additionally they are very small and flexible allowing easy mounting on many different substrates including aluminium and have the real advantage of being bio-degradable.”

Harland Simon will be carrying out further more detailed tests over the next few weeks which will include mounting on different cores and exposure to different site conditions.
