PEACOCK Bros has released the UPM Raflatac Freezer proof RFID tags designed for use in freezer environments down to -40°C.
According to the company, organisations can now use RFID tags to automate data collection for frozen goods and inventory.
The UPM Raflatac RFID tag has a Dogbone design, which Peacock Bros says offers up to 240-bit of EPC memory and an additional 64-bit locked tag identifier code and 32-bit serial number.
The Freezer proof RFID has a white synthetic face that can be printed over with an RFID thermal transfer label printer for encrypting and printing of user readable information.
Peacock Bros claims the tags can be read through a covering of frost, humid air and wet surfaces such as packaging and ice and complies with all of the GS1 EPC Global standards.
RFID tags can be placed on pallets, cartons and even product packaging and do not require “line-of-sight” to be read. If RFID readers are installed onto the forklifts, then the entire process of receiving, dispatching and storing of frozen goods can be automated.
