Omni-ID adds active tag to product portfolio

Omni-ID, the original inventor of the on-metal tag and leading global supplier of high-performance, RFID tags and visual tagging systems announced a new addition to its lineup of products the power 400 Tag.

Traditionally known for its robust portfolio of passive RFID tags and its groundbreaking visual tagging system for manufacturing, the addition of this highly rugged active RFID tag makes Omni-ID's product portfolio the broadest and most complete in the industry.

The power 400 tag is ideal for tracking assets in harsh outdoor environments where high impact, temperature fluctuations and exposure to chemical or other harsh materials are part of the day-to-day use case. The tag has been designed with a rugged over-molding for extreme durability and use in dangerous environments such as the energy industry where the possibility of high impact is probable.
The active RFID functionality provides for exceptional read ranges over widely dispersed areas, with the certainty of passive RFID built in as a back-up. An ATEX certified version of the product will be available in early 2014.
