SlimFlex passive contactless transponders improve data collection speed and accuracy for logistics applications. Anti-collision functionality, fast data-rate communication and password data protection enable precise, reliable reading and updating of each tag’s large user memory. SlimFlex tags are compliant with ISO certified readers and modules.
All SlimFlex RFID tags are waterproof. They can be used in deep-sea operations, provide high resistance to aggressive liquids and UV rays, and deliver reliable performance and reading stability at high and sub-freezing temperatures.
Available in multiple configurations:
Rectangular SlimFlex tags attach snugly to round or irregular surfaces, such ascylindrical containers, plastic pipes, helmets or even trees. These tags conform to surfacecontours, and can be securely attached withcable ties, industrial adhesives, rivets or screws.
Designed for garments, each SlimFlex Laundry UHF RFID tag withstands chemical exposure and high temperature of related washing cycles. This small, flexible white strip can be discreetly sewn into the hem of clothing, unnoticeable to users during everyday operations. SlimFlex Laundry tags enable automated sorting, inventory and accounting for commercial cleaners.
For commercial linen, please refer to the HID LinTRAK UHF RFID tags, which has been optimized for this use case.
SlimFlex Tag Washer has been designed with one reinforced hole to rivet it. This version is ideal whenever a SlimFlex tag shall be fixed with a single rivet to hang down from metal bars or be placed on a hook.
thin SlimFlex Ultra UHF RFID tag is optimized for non-metallic flat or slightly curved surfaces. Its special construction ensures a higher durability compared to traditional label designs. Optional laser marking is performed into the structure of the tag to make it permanent. The SlimFlex Ultra is delivered as single pieces with strong adhesive and easy peel off tape for fast mounting.
