ST and Feig let manufacturers personalise whole pallets of NFC-enabled products

STMicroelectronics and Feig Electronic have introduced a new personalisation system that makes it possible for manufacturers to quickly and easily personalise large volumes of products equipped with dynamic NFC tags at a distance of up to one metre.

Users can program whole pallets of products equipped with Type 5 NFC tags without needing to remove them from either the pallet or their packaging.

Historically a laborious and time-consuming process that requires connecting each unit to a programmer, basic setting up can now take place at any one convenient point in the supply chain using this new contactless solution, ST says.
