The Prosperous Market for RFID

The market for RFID continues to surge forward, with investments, acquisitions and orders at record levels. The premier European IDTechEx conference RFID Europe, on the 18-19 September in Cambridge UK, will air all these aspects.

Printed Electronics - Overcoming Barriers

Nowadays, the term printed electronics is taken to include truly printed electronics but also thin film electronics that is potentially printable. Anything less and you miss the big picture. Here we consider the barriers to commercialization for printed electronics.

Printed Electronics - the Giants Get Involved

Printed electronics often involves simple things such as printed conductive patterns to counter the pollution, unreliability, bulk, weight and cost of wires, solder and etched patterns. Most commonly, printed electronics will be used where traditional technology is simply not a feasible solution, such as wallpaper that generates power and doubles as a television and lighting or electronic anti-counterfeiting on 100 billion cigarette packets yearly, giving traceability at a cost of only 0.1 cents per package.

The Global RFID Event

Learn about RFID progress from East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Americas and network with delegates from 30 countries. Now only days from the Boston show which kicks off on March 28, we examine the key uniques of the fifth annual RFID Smart Labels USA event.

Chipless RFID - The End Game

RFID tags that do not contain a silicon chip are called chipless tags. The primary potential benefit of the most promising chipless tags is that eventually they could be printed directly on products and packaging for 0.1 cents and replace ten trillion barcodes yearly with something far more versatile and reliable.
