Identiv Collaborates with NXP on NFC-Enabled Secure Sensing Tags for Product Integrity and Condition Monitoring

 

Identiv announced its portfolio of near field communication (NFC)-enabled status detection tags for advanced IoT security.

Identiv's range of NFC tags is among the first available with NXP NTAG Semiconductors 22x DNA chip devices, adding unique capabilities for advanced anti-counterfeiting, new-to-market tamper detection, and batteryless condition sensing.

Identiv's NFC tag designs based on NXP's new NTAG 22x DNA chip series enable a wide range of sensing solutions for customers in healthcare and pharma, retail, smart packaging, supply chain control (e.g., blockchain), and augmented user experiences. The portfolio secures everyday objects in mobile anti-counterfeit authentication applications and closed-loop systems, tamper proof medications, beverages, and consumables, and senses specific conditions such as moisture, pressure, or fill level powered by an NFC field, all without a battery.

The sensing tags with conductive and capacitive capabilities are ideal for status-aware applications enhancing quality assurance along the supply chain, verifying fill levels for refill orders or patient compliance, and wet/dry sensing for smart wound recovery or skin patches.
