Ferroxtag High Frequency RFID Tags: Won
Generally RFID Tags are averse to liquids and metal surfaces but this may soon end with the arrival of Ferroxtag high frequency RFID tags armed with Epoxy and silicon seal packaging. The good thing about these tags is that they won't misfire even in conditions involving contact with liquid and metal surfaces.

Ferroxtag high frequency RFID tags minimize the chances of misreading of tags in harsh conditions. Supporting 13.56MHz bandwidth these tags can perform optimally in temperature ranging between -25°C and 130°C. They can be attached on any surface with the help of glue, screws and double side adhesive tapes. Even the antenna comes coated with oxygen iron powder and the shape of the tags can be customized as per the needs of the customer. This would surely help the technology make deeper inroads in arenas where it was unable to perform due to inherent weaknesses. So next time don't think twice about switching to RFID technology even if your work involves high humidity or contact with metal surfaces.

RFID being used to give preferential treatment to rich clients in Indian banks
India is growing like never before and so are its people. The country has got thousands of millionaires which are estimated to be more than the figures of some of the European countries combined.

If you are a millionaire (hopefully I will be one somebody) you are bound to get preferential treatment (after all money commands power). Now Yes Bank which is a commercial bank operating out of India has been piloting an RFID system so that bank employees can identify these rich fat customers and offer them personalized services. Under the pilot RFID banking cards have been offered to select customers apart from deployment of RFID interrogators and customized gate antennas at bank premises.

The RFID pilot is being conducted at branch located in one of the posh localities of Delhi and obviously these rich clients expect richer services from these banks too. The moment the elite customer arrives in the bank his details are flashed on the system which enables the relationship team to identify the concerned person so that they can accord him services in the best possible manner.

With financial crisis already looming over America and with other countries bound to face the repercussions, servicing rich clients in 'Maharaja Fashion' could be one of the best possible ways to remain liquid for these financial institutions.

The game of casino still remains the same for the gamblers but it has definitely started to change for casino owners who are now heavily relying on technology to make sure it runs in a 'proper' manner.

Casinos are attaching RFID tags to gaming chips to keep a track on what all is happening on the casino table. Gamblers at the table get to know how much they are winning or losing but for the casino it becomes difficult to track their revenue stream.

Using RFID technology has benefited casino owners in several ways:

• It has offered them protection against any form of internal fraud or counterfeiting

• Improved their relations with guests

• Better control over revenue stream

A computer is used for monitoring of activities as the RFID system can track 1,000 chips per second offering real time information. With number of casinos offering jackpots, bonuses and rewards the system has even made it easier to attract new customers and maintain its existing loyal base. Even though this RFID gaming chip costs $2 per piece but the good news is that casinos will definitely be able to break even within six months of their investment!!

RFID Jewelry Tag: The world
Have a look at what is being labeled as the smallest RFID Jewelry Tag which would be implemented for tracking of jewelry in wholesale, retail or secured storage applications. The good thing about this tag is that it replaces manual scanning with automatic scanning ensuring complete trays of tagged jewelry could be scanned without any form of human intervention.

So at the end of the day hundreds of jewelry pieces could be tagged within a matter of seconds. With thickness of 0.6mm, this RFID tag neither affects any pieces of jewelry nor the look of the box carrying it. This RFID jewelry tag will be available for less than $1.2 which would surely ensure a lot of takers for it; after all it minimizes human intervention and errors associated with it!!

Nokia 6212 Classic: Brings together Visa and Nokia for RFID enabled services
Nokia 6212 Classic, the NFC handset is already out in the market and now you won't just be using your mobile phone for making or receiving calls.

This phone from Nokia comes with the advantage of making remote and contact less payment. For this purpose Visa and Nokia have joined hands to make it a possibility. So from now on Visa card holders will be able to use their new Visa phone for paying for their purchases which means you would not have to carry your plastic card along every time you go out to shop.

Nokia 6212 Classic comes with an RFID module which functions as RFID tag and reader operating at 13.56 MHz frequency. Supporting read write and card emulation it also comes with peer to peer communication feature ensuring exchange of information between two NFC enabled phones. For example, using this feature two people having NFC phones could use it for exchanging their business cards in a paperless manner.

With this fourth generation NFC phone already out I feel that the day is not far off when people will chuck their plastic cards in favor of NFC phones which would also double up as their credit card.

The label offers easy visual authentication for consumers along with RFID security and comes with an attractive design at the same time. This hybrid RFID Hologram label developed by Toppan can be used effectively in case of high value items

The chip comes with a unique ID number and memory capacity which offers details of the specific product. Combination of RFID and hologram ensures that the former leads to inventory tracking and shipping verification whereas the latter offers visual verification to confirm the genuineness of the product.

The average cost of the RFID Crystagram label stands at around fifty cents per unit which may seem high as of now but the company is working towards bringing down the costs which would surely enhance its adoption in the future.
