(DGAP-Media / 09.04.2014 / 16:04) PRESS RELEASE SMARTRAC to spearhead market with products based on Impinj's latest tag chip Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Orlando (FLA), (9 April 2014) - SMARTRAC has announced its plans to be the first to market with a full range of UHF RFID tags based on the Impinj Monza(R) R6 tag chip. The worldwide leader in RFID tag manufacturing will show a 40x20 retail apparel tag for worldwide operation based on Monza R6 in their booth no. 604 at the "2014 RFID Journal LIVE!" tradeshow held in Orlando, Florida. SMARTRAC's new tags are being designed to take advantage of the industry leading performance and AutoTune technology included in Monza R6. By compensating for materials with different dielectrics such as jeans and shirts in the same tag using AutoTune technology, SMARTRAC's tags will deliver reliably high performance over a wide range of retail product categories while simplifying RFID tagging for retailers and retail brand owners. "We are excited about the strong pipeline of Monza R6 based tag designs from SMARTRAC starting with their flagship 40x20 design", says Nikhil Deulkar, Monza Product Marketing Director at Impinj. Using its SMART COSMOS platform, SMARTRAC plans to deliver quality control data captured using Integra technology in their Monza R6 based tags, which will be available in volume production quantities in Q3 2014. "With our new tags using Monza R6 we will deliver not only the best quality of tags but also the best quality of data to our retail customers, verifiable through SMART COSMOS", says Torsten Strauch, SVP Segment Development Retail at SMARTRAC.
