Accelerating RFID Usage

RF-Loop Tag is a manufacturing process of UHF transponders based on a modified UHF clip module from NXP and company's high-speed manufacturing solution. Concept enables smart label/ticket converters to work directly with semiconductor industry to manufacture their own UHF inlays. System comprises a p-s mini-transponder placed on top of a die-cut aluminum antenna. Combination of these two components results in a functioning UHF transponder. Main goal is to accelerate widespread use of RFID in the industry.
