MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRIAL

Electronic tags play a major role in manufacturing and other industrial applications. Their advantages over other ID technologies (such as bar-code and magnetic stripe) include:

• Reliable operation in a harsh environment (in wet, dusty, dirty conditions; corrosive environments; applications where vibrations and shock are considerations)
• Non-contact operation
• Freedom from line-of-sight constraints (transponders can be read irrespective of orientation; through paint and other non-ferrous solids)

World-wide, Trovan tags and readers are used in a number of diverse applications including:

• Keg and gas cylinder distribution logistics
• Automated laundry systems
• Meat packing
• Sterile medical device tracking
• Ski lift ticketing
• Warehouse pallet tracking
• Waste management

A growing area within manufacturing is the installation of electronic tags into products such as computers, audio and video equipment, boats, cycles, etc.

This not only provides an 'added value' antitheft benefit for customers but also serves to control returns fraud. With more than 3000 suitable tag readers in Police use throughout the UK and Eire, ownership of suspect property can established in any part of the country.

Our microdot product provides a high volume - lost cost means of verifying genuine components such as memory chips, hard drives, cellphone batteries, etc. where returned items have had genuine components replaced with counterfeit or non-originals.
