WCA RFID SIG presents A Novel and Complete Approach to RFID Antenna Inlay Production
Venue: RFIDium, Sunnyvale, CA

A successful RFID project moves through several stages: from specification, to design, to prototyping, to trial, to high volume rollout. However, many RFID technologies are not designed to address these stages.

Anh Hoang discusses an RFID design and production process that enables the generation of multiple variations of a design for quick verification and validation tests, a specialized laser-based system for precision prototyping, and a thin film deposition system for high-volume production.

Real-life case studies of how this approach has been successfully applied in the RFID antenna/inlay marketplace are discussed, including how it aided in design and production of inlays utilizing the new Impinj Monza 3.

Mr. Hoang will also discuss these technologies’ potential applicability to other high-detail patterning needs in printed electronics.

Cost: $10 at the door.
