This application note describes how one might design a robust race timing system using ThingMagic UHF RFID technology. The application note assumes the reader to be generally familiar with RFID technology and the ThingMagic MercuryAPI.

This application note describes how engineers might design a robust bulk encoding system using ThingMagic UHF RFID technology. The paper assumes that the reader of this application note is generally familiar with both RFID technology and the ThingMagic MercuryAPI.

Monitoring only the last known location of an asset is often not sufficient in many applications as it does not give information about the direction in which the asset was moving in order to intelligently predict its next location. This is driving the requirement for RFID systems to report directionality in addition to the asset [...]

This white paper makes three claims. First, batteryless (also known as passive) RFID is the most economical way to measure a large number of parameters in healthcare settings. Second, batteryless RFID, owing to its low cost and complexity, enables innovative patient-centric applications that would otherwise not be implemented. Finally, it often makes sense to implement [...]

  This white paper addresses the thought process that leads original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to place greater emphasis on determining the best path to take when it comes to embedding RFID into their products.

This white paper looks at a number of advantages from item-level tagging, and concludes that item-level RFID may be creating a competitive advantage for early adopters by providing better inventory accuracy, visibility, and insight, enabling them to improve in-stock positions and increase sales.

This paper provides an overview of item-level radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging in the apparel supply chain. It explains the evolution of RFID technology and details key benefits when utilized by retailers, distribution and logistics providers, and manufacturers.

RFID is becoming more and more of a common solution when it comes to tracking and managing large amounts of cash. Imagine how beneficial the technology would be to firms like Wells Fargo that truck money around all day. And while retailers love RFID because of the increased supply chain visibility it provides,  retailers like [...]

Chip-based serialization is an alternative to IT solutions for managing item-level tagging. In chip-based serialization, the EPC serial number comes from the RFID chip’s Tag Identifier (TID) instead of an IT system.

A key advantage of RFID technology is its ability to provide efficient, low-cost, item-level visibility into any process. Such visibility in turn brings about the possibility of process change. For process-intensive companies, this change can prove the difference between a black or red bottom line.
