Avery Dennison's AD-641 incorporates scalable EPC memory up to 512 bits using NXP G2X silicon.  A cousin of the AD-840 and AD-843, this 2.76 inch square design features familiar sloop technology to deliver 360 degree performance in application across the 860 - 960MHz frequency band.

The large antenna design is optimized to support dense read environments where it is desired to query select items in an area.  Through leveraging pre-programmed unique ID's from NXP silicon and balancing performance characteristics of the antenna design, the AD-641 supports a targeted inquiry process.  The AD-641 specifically targets carton and pallet asset management.

Below, the 360 degree angular performance of AD-641 is shown.

 

 


Features:
 
  • Designed for global UHF frequency (860-960MHz) carton and pallet asset management in dense environments
  • Sloop technology for 360 degree performance and orientation insensitivity
  • Unique 32 bit serial number, factory programmed and locked
  • 240 bit EPC memory with an additional 512 bit user memory option
  • EPCglobal C1G2 1.0.9 certified, compliant to EPCglobal C1G2 1.1.0
  • Available in tightly pitched high yield / high capacity rolls which integrate seamlessly into high-volume converting processes
  • Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) custom command
  • Read protect custom command
  • Calibrate custom command

Advantages:
 
  • Inlay circuit is tuned for global frequency operations for single solution fit
  • Radiation patterns enables reads any angle or in any orientation
  • Unique 32 bit serial number, factory programmed and locked, eliminating the need to program tags downstream with unique numbers
  • Extra user memory enables more applications that require additional data beyond the EPC number such as life cycle verification, warranty tracking, expiry dates, work in process, routing or quality data
  • The EAS security feature allows the tag to be used as an anti-theft device by sending an alarm signal to a reader if the tag has not been deactivated by the business application software when moving through a reader gate
  • Read protection helps to prevent unauthorized memory access by requiring a password handshake with the reader and can protect potentially sensitive data in the memory
  • Calibrate custom command send a continuous data stream  that enables easier tag to reader communications evaluation and application performance fine tuning

Benefits:
  • Strong read ranges and read rates improve system data reliability and increases efficiency, throughput.  Reduces costs associated with missing data or line stoppages
  • Additional user memory allows you to configure your tag data for custom applications, extending the utility of the EPC solution to support additional efficiency and service improvement programs like carrying a maintenance record, WIP updatable record or product expiration dates for asset utilization management
  • Helps speed audit/inventory process, security features reduced theft and loss, thereby reducing operational costs 

Markets and Applications:
  • Supply Chain carton, pallet and item level tagging
  • Containers / Returnable Transport Units
  • Industrial / Factory AIDC Asset tracking
