Cut-price tag: Corporate collaboration investigates feasibility and cost implications of printed RFID tags

摘要

A CONSORTIUM of major European companies has started a three-year, ￡11 m project to make Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags more affordable and widely available. The MaDriX project team - comprising PolylC, BASF, Evonik Industries, Elantas Beck and Siemens - will investigate the feasibility of high-performance, printable RFID tags. Currently, the tags contain silicon chips and are produced using complex manufacturing techniques.
