Customer Issue
- Several tags were being used on a single product, each with different regulatory information and traceability requirements
- Existing tag designs had low tear strength, contributing to inventory loss
- Existing traceability tags used standard barcodes and required labor intensive item level scanning with poor accuracy
The AWT Solution
- AWT designed a durable RFID enabled sewn-in tag that integrated requirements of multiple tags into one design
- Collaborated with systems integrator to test several design prototypes in simulated production environment
- Identified unique RFID design with ability to scan a large container of over 200 parts with an accuracy of 99.9% in a single pass at low scan power
