We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RFID Tags",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Predictive maintenance is a benefit, not an evil from
AV Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Predictive maintenance should be seen as an integral part of plant management and, moreover, part of an all encompassing asset management function".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release As well as tracking, RFID finds more uses from
IDC - Intelligent Distributed Controls: "A short range wireless personal area network can be used for tracking, and, it must be said, a great many other things besides, writes Kevin Buckley".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Contax
concerning its RFID tag and reader manufacturing
- take a look at Equiping RFID tag and reader manufacturing
which says: "Contax is supplying equipment to RFTRAQ to make radio frequency identification tags and readers and provide the latest quality control and assurance for its technology hardware".
Take a look also at the news release from Flomerics, Simulation reduces RFID label development time,
as well as Adhesives bond and protect RFID tags from Huntsman Advanced Materials,
and Retail Solutions to show the shop of the future from Retail Solutions.
