Food industry wireless temperature recording RFID tag advent

IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, the world's leading provider of long-distance active RFID systems, has released RFID wireless temperature recording tags. The target buyers of this label are food processors and processors, helping them comply with the new requirements of the EU implemented on January 1, 2005 and the forthcoming US Food Traceability Act. The wireless temperature recording tag has applied for a patent, including a time stamp and a memory capable of storing 13,000 temperature records. The handheld computer and the reader mounted on the platform door can communicate with the tag by transmitting signals within 100 meters of the tag. In order to obtain these records. This tag has an optional feature - an external temperature detector that can be used to monitor and record the internal temperature of the food during processing and cooling.

This new technology debuted at the NAFEM show held in Anaheim, CA from September 23 to 25, 2005. It was introduced by the IDENTEC SOLUTIONS partner, Fibergrations LLC. Fibergrations LLC is a company specializing in the food industry. “When we saw the i-Q32 temperature recorder developed by IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, we were very excited about the application of this new product in the food industry. This kind of temperature tracking tag solves a temperature tracking requirement that our customers often put forward. They It is now possible to effectively and accurately comply with government regulations on food,” said Mike Beedles, president of Fibergrations. The tag will be displayed at the Feberrations booth #2710 and will be featured on the 24th at Mike Beedles's RFID show for NAFEM.

Customers are reliable and easy. The need to use monitoring and tracking technology is very strong.This product design is based on feedback from our ILR RFID technology product market for up to 5 years.

This temperature recording tag can record operating temperature -40 degrees to 85 degrees, and the battery life is 6 years. Temperature measurements can be accurate to within 0.25 degrees. Recording intervals can be programmed from 1 minute to 18 hours. This means that users can capture temperature history from source to destination, even when the goods are transferred for a few weeks or It was an unexpected delay. The tag's communication distance is 100 meters and the rate is 115K baud rate. It can quickly obtain the temperature log at the station, so that when the historical temperature of the product deviates, even when it has not been unloaded from the truck, it will Will be automatically classified as inedible and isolated.
