Identiv Multiplies RFID Production Capacity at Thailand Facility

Identiv continues to expand production capacity at its radio-frequency identification (RFID) production facility near Bangkok, Thailand with the installation of new primary-process equipment.

The most recent addition is Direct Die Attach (DDA) equipment optimized for high-volume production.

With this additional equipment, Identiv’s production capacity has increased by up to 30,000 units an hour. Through the combination of its DDA equipment and a Mühlbauer TAL 15000 system currently in operation at the facility, Identiv anticipates its annual production capacity in Thailand to expand from approximately 70 million units currently to over 200 million units exiting 2023.

This capacity increase in Thailand complements the technology and flexibility at Identiv’s Singapore production and engineering center and the R&D and specialty technology design, development, and prototyping capabilities at its engineering center outside Munich, Germany.

With a growing list of IoT customers, Identiv expects to produce an increasing proportion of its IoT devices in Thailand, benefiting from lower production and labor rates, shorter supply chains, and an advantageous tax status.
