Friendly Technologies is a UK start-up developing a radically new approach to RFID aimed at protecting privacy and security whilst improving tag affordability.

 

Our patented invention renders tags simpler and more reliable, opening up the possibility of using low-density, low-cost tag manufacturing techniques such as printed electronics. This makes our tags ideal for most FMCG applications, specially inventory visibility and anti-counterfeiting.

 

Our technology addresses many of the current challenges that have been encountered by supply chain partners as they seek to reduce costs and streamline operations through RFID.
