Datamars announces the launch of "PersonalChip", one of the smallest
and thinnest high-frequency RFID laundry tags on the market. Industrial
laundries can now enhance their productivity and clothing
identification processes with this innovative chip designed
specifically for identifying personal garments in a range of
applications where manual sorting is required.
Typical application areas include nursing homes, hotels, schools and
private hospitals. The "PersonalChip" is part of Datamars' complete ID
solution for these sectors and is ideal for tagging personal clothing
including shirts, skirts, sportswear, shorts and underwear.
"The launch of the PersonalChip continues our tradition of innovation,"
says Ken Boyle, Chief Marketing Officer at Datamars. "Combined with the
highest quality RFID readers, antennas and software of the Datamars
range, the new tag brings a robust and efficient solution for the
identification and tracking of personal clothing in the nursing home
laundry cycle."
The Datamars "PersonalChip" is 11mm in diameter, 2mm thin and allows a
reading distance of up to 20 cm. Other features of the laundry tag
include light coloring, making it almost imperceptible especially in
white garments, and robust resistance to the harsh environments of
laundry processes, including sterilization. A fully ISO 15963
compatible HF tag, the "PersonalChip" ensures standards and quality are
maintained.
The technology behind the chip is typical of the high standards set by
Datamars. It operates on the principle of multi-read high-frequency
radio waves, which can be read through non-conductive material. The
passive transponder transmits the code which identifies the item
without the risk of error. With the ability to withstand temperatures
between -40°C and +120°C, as well as all common chemicals in
the laundry and dry cleaning process, efficiency, speed and durability
are assured.
