DURABLE RFID TAG

摘要

Plastic asset identification tags are described. The tags define an attachment feature by which the tag is attached to the asset. The tag also defines a cavity or slot in which an RFID transceiver is placed. Epoxy fills the remainder of the slot or cavity. The RFID transceiver is programmed to respond to interrogation by transmitting a unique identifier that is associated with the object to which the tag is attached. Additional information about the object may also be responsively transmitted, and in some embodiments that additional information is also written on the outside of the tag. Other tags seal the RFID transceiver within a pocket of flexible fabric-supported PVC.

主权项

1. An industrial asset tag, comprising:
a plastic tag body defining a cavity and a pass-through hole, the body being constructed of a plastic material and having an outer surface; an RFID transceiver in the cavity; and a plug filling substantially all of the portion of the cavity not occupied by the RFID transceiver, such that the RFID transceiver is not exposed along the outer surface; wherein when the RFID transceiver receives a stimulus signal, it sends an answer signal encoding data associated with a unique identifier.
