A research team at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at North Dakota State University (NDSU) has developed an antennaless RFID tag designed to offer enhanced tracking of metal and liquids.
The patent-pending technology aims to alleviate traditional problems associated with tracking metal objects or containers filled with liquid. The antennaless tags could help companies track products as varied as barrels of oil to metal cargo containers.
In compliance with EPCglobal Standards, the tags developed by NDSU CNSE are less than 3 millimeters thick and can be placed directly on the metal, or recessed into the surface of a metal container without negatively affecting its ability to transmit.
