Identification, originality & security
RFID/NFC tags have a globally unique serial number (UID). Security-relevant information can be stored on the chip. If required, the RFID/NFC transponder can be integrated almost invisibly into almost any product or object. This makes RFID/NFC transponders a much smarter security and authenticity feature than seals, magnetic strips or holograms
Advantages compared to other methods
- Standardization: Both chip and frequency are standardized worldwide
- Simple reading infrastructure: Chip content can be read using a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet
- Originality: Globally unique serial number in the chip without the possibility of manipulation
- Flexibility: Dynamically customizable data content instead of static information
- Integration: Completely invisible and secure integration into products
- Reading distance: Contactless reading - can also be limited to a very short distance
- Self-destruction: The chip functionality is destroyed in the event of tampering attempts
Reference projects from smart-TEC
Dispensing control: For consistent quality and quantity of ground coffee, the "grinding time" is controlled with a credit solution. The time is stored on the RFID card and can be topped up again.
Water regulation: With the IONOX water dispenser for schools, the water supply is intelligently controlled via a credit system with RFID tags in the IONOX drinking bottles
Product safety: An RFID control system has been developed for copy protection and product safety. Disposable products are provided with smart-LABELs to check originality and, for example, the expiry date before use.
Documentation: In vehicle fleet management, RFID/NFC can be used to document the validity check of employee driver's licenses quickly, effectively and in compliance with the law.
Sharing Economy: The bike sharing provider uses RFID technology to implement its complex infrastructure. This allows them to manage their bike fleet and make it easier for their customers to use them at the same time.
Tree identification: As part of a research project on forest growth, RFID is being used to efficiently and permanently mark and monitor individual trees with durable tags.
Waste disposal: Residents of Zoetermeer (Netherlands) receive fair and individual volume billing thanks to an RFID solution. Each household identifies itself when throwing in waste.
E-commerce: Parcel boxes bring more convenience, flexibility and satisfaction to the delivery process and returns management. Access authorization is solved by RFID key fobs.
Plagiarism protection: Thanks to the integration of RFID technology, every saddle can be precisely identified by means of a database comparison. Saddle copies and stolen saddles can therefore be detected effectively and easily.
