Secure RFID Tags Can Monitor and Record Data

SecureRF Corporation has its own line of secure radio frequency identification (RFID) tags with Onboard Security™ and sensors.  The first, known as the LIME Tag™, is a battery-assisted passive (BAP) RFID tag.

LIME Tag™ - A Secure RFID Tag and Cold Chain Management for the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain and Food Industry

The LIME Tag with temperature sensor targets the pharmaceutical, food & beverage and other industries whose products must be maintained within a set temperature range. The LIME Tag's cold chain management functions address industry issues by monitoring and securely recording the temperature history at an interval ranging from once a minute to just once a day.

Tracking temperature-sensitive, high value pharmaceuticals and biologicals from manufacture through distribution at an item-level is increasingly critical to ensuring drug safety and efficacy. For shipments to end-users without a RFID reader, the LIME Tag can be equipped with a push-button switch and LED lights that indicate if the product has been maintained within the set temperature range.

For food & beverage manufacturers, the LIME Tag can be used at a pallet, case or item level to monitor product quality, freshness and shelf life.

LIME Tag™ - Additional Sensors and Features

In addition to thermometers, the LIME Tag can also be equipped with different types of sensors:

• Humidity
• Tamper indication
• Shock sensing
• pH levels - to manage the quality of blood or other biologics
• Other sensors that are small enough to fit on an battery assisted passive RFID tag.

In addition to providing sensor functions, the LIME Tag has other unique features:

• The secure LIME Tag actively provides authentication and encryption for RFID reader - RFID tag communications to provide Onboard Security functions unavailable on any other RFID product.
• An extended user memory that stores up to 4Mbits of data.
• A long read and write range of up to 150 feet/50 meters.

Universal Standards Facilitate Wireless Implementation

SecureRF tags support a wide range of wireless standards, including EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2, the same standards used in ISO specification 18000-6C.  These global standards provide the foundation for future RFID products used in asset tracking and identification for supply chain and related applications. 

These fully secure RFID solutions operate with currently installed EPCglobal Class 1, Gen 2 readers without the need for firmware upgrades; a significant implementation advantage.
