The Infinity V1 RFID Tag and Inlay Embedding System for Smart RFID Label Converting
The machine is highly flexible and compact, catering to many different sizes of labels, accordingly to exact customer requirements. Targeted output of the machine is at least 100 labels per minute. The RFID tag can be embedded in any location on the label with the positioning accuracy of ±1 mm in the feed direction, ±1 mm across the feed direction, and angularity ±1.5°. The operation of the machine is independent from the down stream conversion processes, such as lamination and cutting process. It has a buffer station that can cater up to 800 mm of completed reel. This enables ease of interfacing this machine into the conversion line.
The V1 RFID Tag and Inlay Embedding System was jointly developed and built with TÜV SÜD PSB Group. The machine will be produced in Singapore and the current lead time is approximately 12 weeks. The Infinity can be modulated with current label converting lines or used stand alone. Preparation is easy and turn around time for creating different batches of RFID Labels is quick. A user friendly touch pad enables the operator to key in the metric of the length needed for accurate insertion. Visit www.worldlabel.com. SAVR Develops RFID Enabled Delivery Van
SAVR's solution demonstrates the potential to provide a dramatic change in visibility for packages and cargo that is currently only tracked to the most recent human touch point or distribution facility. For critical or high value shipments, the added granularity provided by this system will be invaluable to the logistics community and their customers.
Customers will find value in knowing exactly where their parcels are and that packages can be dynamically rerouted if required. For packages that have huge downtime or other expenses associated with them, customers can know virtually the exact time their packages are going to arrive. This is the first truly mobile and autonomous RFID + GPS + wireless communication system in use. It is also the first real exploration of a commercially based "closed loop" RFID track-and-trace system. On the logistics companies side, their efficiencies are going to occur as a result of process improvements that increase overall package visibility, a lower number of lost or misrouted packages, reduced theft, and more effective courier routing through the ability to dynamically reroute packages on the fly. The challenges SAVR had to overcome in this application included: LogiCon 2007

The Infinity V1 is a highly flexible, state-of-the-art, RFID smart label converting machine targeting many different market sectors including supply chain, consumer packaging, and many other applications.
An added unique feature of the Infinity V1 is the online bad tag detection and removal system during the converting process. It insures maximum quality and readability of the labels. The machine inspects and embeds only readable RFID tags from the inlay reel onto the liner in the RFID conversion process. Rejected RFID tags are reeled up instead of dispensing onto the liners.
SAVR Communications (
SAVR outfitted the van with UHF Gen 2 RFID readers and associated antennas, then utilized some of its active tag product line to transmit the real-time, on-demand location and inventory through its wireless communication device. This device has GPS, Wi-Fi/Wi-Max, GSM (cellular), Low Earth Orbit Satellite, and virtually all sensor based capabilities (temperature, pressure, humidity, motion detection, accelerometers, sound, ultrasonic, etc.). SAVR also developed the associated tracking software and GUI interfaces that can communicate all this data to the delivery and logistics companies, and their customers.
The logistics and supply chain conference, Logicon, is being held March 5-8 at the JW Marriott, in Las Vegas, NV. Attendees can learn how to:
As discussions about RFID and the actual implementations grow, the questions get more in-depth. The eLearning sessions offered by ChainLink Research will address everything from the basic to most challenging questions on RFID. Eliminate the expense of travel by learning directly from the office - alone or with the office team. Each 90 minute eLearning session can be taken separately or an individual can register for the whole series. Attendees will receive valuable reading and in-depth study material. The classes offered are:
