Custom RFID: Inventory Control and Cost Savings in Seating

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
