Avery Dennison Debuts Durable High-Memory EPC Gen 2 RFID Tag

Avery Dennison's RFID division has added to its RFID tag portfolio the AD-902, a tag compliant with the EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO-18000-6C standards, and optimized for on-metal performance.

The tag features 240 bits of EPC memory and 512 bits of user memory in a rugged, impact-resistant case made of polycarbonate—a step up from Avery Dennison's other durable EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag with a case made of PVC, according to George Dyche, the company's RFID durable product manager. The impact-resistant case is designed to be impervious to dust and jets of water, earning it an International Protection (IP) rating of 65. The case is reusable and can be applied to substrates via bolt or rivet.
