A Practical Solution for Powering RFID Tags that Performs Well in Field Applications Lightly edited for readability

Solution Offered by EnerCera battery

  • EnerCera batteries support rapid wireless charging, so there is no need to worry about charge levels.

  • Using rechargeable batteries to power RFID tags eliminates the need to retrieve or replace tags or batteries, thereby reducing operating costs.

  • The 0.45mm / 0.018inch thick EnerCera Pouch is recommended for size-sensitive applications.

  • The reflow-solderable EnerCera Coin is recommended applications where resilience or mass-producibility is important.

  • The development team immediately ordered product samples, which they subjected to a range of tests connected to their RFID system. EnerCera battery not only freed them from their worries about battery life but also offered low-running costs. They were confident it would enable them to create an efficient traceability solution.

The Manufacturer’s Search Ended with an Ultra-Compact Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

While researching a solution, a member of the manufacturer’s R&D team learned about an RFID tag that ran on NGK’s ultra-compact Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. He immediately contacted NGK and told them about the issues his team was having. A few days later, he received information on EnerCera’s features, was advised on specific solutions tailored to his team’s issues, and received a proposal that laid out specifications and dimensions for an RFID tag enhanced with the features being developed by the manufacturer.

EnerCera Makes the Ideal RFID Tag a Reality

The development team immediately ordered product samples, which they subjected to a range of tests connected to their RFID system. EnerCera battery not only freed them from their worries about battery life but also offered low-running costs. They were confident it would enable them to create an efficient traceability solution.

The team has begun testing a newly-developed RFID tag to determine the extent to which it can boost the accuracy and efficiency of inventory management and stock take. They are currently evaluating and testing a new EnerCera-powered RFID tag, while continuing to receive advice from NGK and obtain feedback from their shipping client.
