RFID tag

RFID and IoT solutions pacesetter Smartrac has announced its Midas FlagTag, a technically sophisticated yet simplified, innovative RFID tag for consumer goods and industrial components with metallic, plastic and cardboard surfaces.

The Midas FlagTag's design uses the metallic surface as part of the antenna structure. This is said to ensure superior performance in less demanding physical environments, while providing cost advantages compared to foam-based inlays and hard tags typically designed for use on surfaces in tougher industrial environments.

Until now, tagging metallic packaging and liquids has presented a challenge in many applications. Midas FlagTag can solve this issue in high-performance and cost-effective ways.

Midas FlagTag features an Impinj Monza R6 IC and utilizes RAIN RFID technology, based on the UHF RFID protocol standard developed by GS1 and ISO. Additionally, the tags are suitable for full IoT integration into Smartrac’s enablement platform Smart Cosmos.
