RFID solutions provider Syscan International has developed a wireless RFID device for the cold chain industry. The device, called iCE, has been developed for reliable data acquisition based on IEEE 802.15.4.
The technology is designed to address the typical RFID constraints such as read reliability, read range and energy consumption, by enabling tags to communicate to other tags.
“Typical RFID can have unreliable data reads, limited read range and struggle with metal, liquids and humidity,” Syscan International Australasia President Scott Austin said.
The iCE system uses a ‘master—slave’ relationship, where the master is used to read the slave tags that are assigned to it.
This inter-relationship is used to improve performance, battery life and range.
The system can achieve up to a 350 m read range.
The slave tags report to the master, which reports to the iCE Universal Monitoring and Communication Device (UMCD).
