RFID Tag Addresses Large-Memory Industrial Applications

The Sokymat IN Tag F-Mem, a 16-Kb RFID tag, targets harsh industrial environments requiring extensive memory-writing endurance. At the heart of the device is a unique ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) technology to ensure near unlimited writing-cycle endurance. The tag acts like a small database storing each movement of an object. At each step in the manufacturing cycle, data updates locally inside the memory of the RFID tag. Unlike traditional RFID tags offering 100,000 write cycles, the IN Tag F-Mem increases this by a factor of 100,000 over EEPROM, resulting in 10 billion read/write accesses. Additionally, the tag can store up to 2,000 characters, complies with ISO15693 / ISO18000-3 for operation at 13.56 MHz, and is available in 20-mm, 30-mm, and 50-mm sizes.
