Mulit-read high frequency tags have become the defacto standard within the textile maintenance industry. A significant benefit of this is that any compliant chip can be read on the same equipment. The operator is no longer locked into a proprietary product available from one manufacturer.

All current RFID tags and RFID equipment supplied by Positek RFID are compliant. These standards provide assurances that your investment in RFID is good for the long term.

RF Tags typically last longer than their warranty makin g them useful for many garment lives. This reuse results in a cost per cleaning of approximately &.0035. Barcodes typically need to be replaced 1.5 times during a garment's life.

A significant benefit of RFID over barcode is that the chip does not need to be in a particular place to be read, it somply needs to pass through the field generated by the antenna. This benefit provides the ability to handle more garments per hour and read multiple garments at a time.

The 16mm tag is small enough to be easily paced into almost any artile. The manufacturer warrants these for 5 years or 200 washings. The 22mm tag provides for a longer read range when needed. The manufacturer warrants these tags for 1 year.

ISO compliant RFID tags provide for the ability to write a limited amount of data to the chip. Each tag comes with a UID which is a unique 16 position alphanumeric code that cannot be changed.
