FLYtag
Features
FLYtag, the best-selling flyable RFID parts marking solution, is the choice of the leading aircraft manufacturers and subsystem suppliers of the aerospace industry. FLYtag is a flyable UHF RFID tag using In-Mold Airless Tagging technology. It is suitable for aircraft parts marking in harsh environments and on a variety of surfaces.
FLYtag is built around Multi-record (8 Kbytes) passive contactless UHF technology meeting ISO 18000-6C and ATA Spec 2000 Chap. 9-5 and Appendix 11 standards. Data retention is over 30 years at 85°C. The ultra rugged packaging and chip are designed for extreme environments and comply with AS5678 requirements as well as Airbus A350 XWB specifications. It is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (-55°C/+150°C) and pressure (194 hPa). It is also appropriate for use in pressurized and non-pressurized area. Communication with the chip, including access to all user memory, can be performed by any standard Gen2-compatible reader. FLYtag supports all mandatory functionalities and modes as defined by the ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C (EPCglobal Gen2) air interface specifications, including Miller encoding. Proprietary or non-standard commands are never necessary.
