"With seven new UCODE based inlays, UPM RFID's customers can be sure to find the right tag for their application. The highlights are the new UPM Stamp(TM) and UPM Jewel(TM), which are perfect for space-constrained products such as electronic devices or small form-factor fashion and jewellery items," says Chris Feige, general manager, tags and labels, NXP Semiconductors. "Furthermore, NXP's advanced UCODE G2iM chips with additional memory enable UPM RFID to offer higher read range tags with a flexible memory structure for markets including automotive or industrial. These applications are characterized by a need for more memory to store product, manufacturing or brand-owner related information."
