Smartrac is extending its RAIN RFID portfolio

Smartrac is extending its RAIN RFID portfolio by launching new Belt inlays featuring UCODE 8 - NXP’s recently introduced UCODE 8 RAIN RFID chip platform. Smartrac belt inlays are designed for item-level retail and logistics applications. They are characterized by an extended read range and allow usage in light dielectric materials, such as cardboard or plastic boxes. UCODE 8 is the latest generation of NXP’s UCODE series and enables superior read distances and faster inventory counts for high volumes of items. The chip features an automatic adjustment function that optimizes the chip sensitivity to gain maximum performance in different environments. This optimization is performed at startup and is enabled in the default chip configuration as delivered by NXP.
