Lightest heavy-duty RFID label
New from Brady Corporation is an innovative and ultra-light weight RFID label, which weighs less than 2g. The self-adhesive label, which can be printed and programmed on-site, is said to be extremely durable and able to resist the abrasion, temperatures and chemicals aircraft are exposed to during production, flight and maintenance.
Smart RFID part marking offers a solution to a growing need for efficient and error-proof component identification in increasingly complex and worldwide supply chains. Identifying every component with an RFID label enables automated data entry, real-time production and inventory visibility, complete supply chain visibility and streamlined business processes for aerospace manufacturers.
The RFID label functions equally well on metal or composite and flat or curved surfaces, and is able to withstand extreme environmental conditions without the use of an overlaminate. A pressure sensitive adhesive allows for easy attachment to various components.
Brady’s on-site RFID print and program solution enables users to simultaneously program the RFID chip and print information on the label at 600 dpi. The intuitive software that accompanies the printer features manual up to fully automated data entry options and an integrated validation process for accurate part marking. The software is also fully compliant with the aerospace industry ATA Spec 2000. The on-site set up should enable aerospace manufacturers to print & program Brady’s RFID label in under 15 seconds and provides a complete component birth record that travels with the component, making paper component birth documents obsolete.
Brady can deliver pre-printed and programmed RFID labels according to manufacturer’s specifications or supply an on-site print & program setup with blank labels for on demand and on-site RFID label creation.
