Global Tag’s team have considered as a primary the introduction in its product range of Metally, a RFID label that works in UHF frequency, also if applied on metal surfaces.
The new Global Tag’s UHF on-metal label “Metally” has the advantages of being incredibly competitive, as price and performances. It guarantees an easy, but strong application, thanks to the 3M adhesive layer placed on the backside of the tag; The IP67 class protection ensure the resistance to hard environmental conditions.
The main added value that this tag bring to automatic identification sector (in production, maintenance and industrial logistic) is represented by the possibility to print information on the surface of the label, in order to simplify more and more the traceability.
Thanks to the size 97,5x27mm it’s possible to reach reading distance up to 5 meters, ensuring the automatic identification also inside a loading bay.
Besides, the Global Tag effort has been the reduction of the cost of the single label, that allows a complete usability, especially in the industrial field, where often the need of transponders is represented by large quantities of units.
The applications in which Metally is recommended, also because of the success obtained in the first implementations, are the tracking and the logistic management of metal bins in the industrial field, the machinery monitoring for the maintenance purpose, the identification of containers, cisterns and dumpsters for waste management, and also for a fast inventory of the assets. A special mention goes to the application of Metally on the fire extinguishers for their periodic maintenance as alternative of On-Metal NFC labels.
It is already available in Global Tag’s product range, and it is possible to realize an order of a sample kit directly from our online store.
It is a turning point that seems a real revolution what happened 16th of June 2016 in Washington, where the new release of Bluetooth standard has been announced.
After six years since last update, precisely, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has officially presented the features of Bluetooth 5.0, which function will be, as stated by the executive director Mark Powell, to upset the people approach to IoT (Internet of Things).
This prediction is based on the increase of the performance that will characterize the new standard BT 5.0: speed will reach 4mbps (twice as Bluetooth 4.0), communication distance that will be four times longer, up to 200 meters and data broadcasting, will increase of 800%, that means give the option to create longer “packet advertising”. These improvement will not imply an increase of battery consumption, which will be a life as longer as BT 4.0 one.
The standard Bluetooth 5.0 will be available on the market since the begin of 2017; it will take so long time because it seems that, to use a Bluetooth 5.0 device, it’s needed that both communicating devices must be Bluetooth 5.0 compliant: in the case in wich there is a communication between 2 devices , the first BT 4.2 compliant and the second BT 5.0 compliant, the features of the operating communication will be those of 4.2 Bluetooth Standard .
The applications that will enjoy this change, in addition to the usual application sectors (marketing and home automation), particularly will be those of the industrial sector, that could take advantages from the incredible improvement of the performance.
At now information are not completely exhaustive . It will be our care give you updates with attention to the particulars about the specifications of
the new Bluetooth 5.0 standard .
STAY TUNED!
A new RFID and NFC tag has been added to Global Tag’s product line, designed in order to find a practical and cheap solution to the need of tracking optical fibers, Ethernet and electrical cables and, more generally, cylindrical objects that have until 3cm diameter.
Fibery is a RFID/NFC tag covered by a polypropylene layer, that has got inside itself a foam layer that allows to protect the chip and the antenna against knocks; the back of the tag is characterized by a 3M strong adhesive that allows to wrap the tag around the cable and seal it up tightly for a perfect application.
Fibery can be customized with logos, Barcode, QRcode, Serial Number or UID printing.
Its ductility, its easy application and its low cost make the Fibery more attractive than a common RFID cable tie, that’s more cumbersome, more expensive and less useful because of its printing difficulty.
Another available option for this product is the encoding/writing of the memory, that can be imprinted with data provided by customer on data base, as well as progressive serial numbers can be associated to the different tags.
With this news, Global Tag tries one time more to show the desire to innovate itself, supplying concrete answers to specific needs of the customers; It make it not only researching and developing new products, but above all adapting the tags to client needs, in order to provide customized solutions.
Given the versatility of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology, Global Tag has token the decision to develop a new tag, especially designed for people traceability, launching the new product BLE Watchcase Beacony.
It is a tag designed as a BLE wristband, that complies with Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 standard.
Thanks to the possibility to divide the watchstrap by the case, we can supply the BLE watch with different watchstrap options, in order to improve the usability of the product, making it flexible to the needs of the customer that could prefer, for example, a disposable tag for an health application (ex. nursing homes for the elderly and hospitals), rather than a reusable silicone watchstrap, ideal for access control and job security applications.
BLE Watchcase Beacony is available with different color watchstraps and covers, according to customer preferences, and it’s compatible with multimedia platforms Eddystone and i-Beacon.
The tag has a replaceable battery, that can survive up to one year, according to the used ping rate (depending on the requirements).
Besides, it has high performances and, in optimal conditions, it reaches long distance communications, up to 50 meters.
Everybody knows that NFC technology (Near Field Communication), developed for the implementation of projects based on the reading of the tag through last generation smartphone devices, works with HF 13,56 MHz, and particularly, it satisfies all requirements to belong to ISO 14443 standard.
However, in October 2015 , NFC Forum (the institution that has the purpose to standardize and regulate the implementation of NFC technology) officially established the parameters for the memorization of information inside ISO15693 chips; this operation is called “Type 5 Tag Operation Specification” .This choice pursues the aim to allow to read ISO15693 and ISO14443 tag through mobile devices (as smartphones) without limiting the user choice about the use of the chip.
Concretely, the intention is to develop a technology called NFC-V, that would allow to NFC readers to communicate also with tags belonging to ISO15693 standard; this fact would imply a reduction of the reading distance (few centimeters reading distance, as NFC 14443 tags) and an improvement of the tag-device communication speed.
Anyway, the situation is still evolving because currently there’s no rule that forces the smartphones NFC chip manufacturer to integrate the Type 5, limiting the obligation to Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4.
At the moment, there are many smartphone devices that are capable to read ISO 15693 tags, but this condition is not regulated , therefore the choice to allow the ISO15693 reading is up to the smartphone manufacturer: this situation, obviously, doesn’t guarantee the needed stability that would permit to customers to develop NFC projects using ISO15693 tags with the certainty that the project could be durable and sustainable. Therefore, our suggestion is that to use ISO14443 (NFC compliant) chips; the use of ISO15693 chips must be limited to some project in which the use of smarthone device is a mere integration of a system that involves the using also, and especially, of fixed devices with reading distance exceeding 10 cm.
The day news is the introduction of the possibility, on our web site www.global-tag.com, to buy transonder Kits, thanks to Global Tag Store.
Another tool has been introduced by our team, in order to improve customer freedom of initiative: we are talking about Global Tag Online Store; its link can be found in the product page of the main RFID and NFC transponders. With the online store, from today, it’s possible buy online lthe most of RFID tag of our catalogue.
Among the available options, there are the choice of the desired transponder, the choice of LF, HF (or NFC) or UHF chip and the choice of the required quantity.
The main reason why the online Store has been created is to give to the client the possibility to test the quality of our products, buying sample kits in order to make quality checks and specific test on our tags.
Relative prices, obviously, are calibrated for small quantities purchases of transponders; for information about the price for bigger quantities, please don’t hesitate to contact our team, it will be its task to guarantee you the best possible quotation.
With the beginning of the new year, we had set ourselves to innovate in the best possible way, in order to improve our service for customers: it’s for this reason that we tried to give a special mark to our web site, based on web 2.0 standard, in order to reach an high level of communication , where user generates contents and can relate with the company reality, for a constructive confrontation to help us to deepen the sensibility for your needs.
And in order to pursue this goal, in addition to the store we joined another tool that has the task of generating communications between the company and the customer, or rather the product Configurator, that allows to speed up the process of customiation of your own RFID or NFC tag, building it step by step, adapting it to your needs .
As the online store, even the product Configurator is placed in the product page of the main trasponders of Global Tag catalogue.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
2016 started and it’s time to…
…To renew and to innovate our RFID proposal, as we always did together in these years. We will double, we will triple our efforts in order to reach the best possible development of this company, that was born to specialize in one of the most important components of RFID system: the RFID transponders. All of this it’s possible thanks to our product range, ever more different, includung also new technology Smart BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), that I encourage you to deepen in the dedicated section “BLE technology”.
The first step of this phase of development is our new web site, completely renewed about graphics and contents. We can find our historical transponders, many pages dedicated to RFID and BLE dynamics, and a dedicated section concerning technological innovations .
…To add sections dedicated to controller and PDA worlds…
As you now, we are part of RFIDGlobal group (company that produces and distributes rFID devices ). So, we have decided to underline some of these products on our web site because we are part of this reality.
…To activate a Youtube channel… where you always more often will find videos that will underline tags world, their installation method, ltheir technical features, some stress tests carried at the laboratory, and so on…
