Cable ties are RFID-enabled

Smartrac's novel Ratch tag product line of cable ties comes with fully integrated RFID tags, available for both HF and UHF frequency bands. The Ratch tags are suitable for the tagging and asset control of critical equipment in applications such as lifting, automotive wiring and supply chain, offshore operations or entertainment and stage rigging.Unlike RFID-enabled cable ties that would use transponders fixed to the cable tie, here the RFID component is securely concealed on the inside surface of the tag housing, effectively bonding the transponder unit within the housing which mechanically retains it within a Nylon material engineered for extreme durability and strength.
