Orlando (Clean Show) - Sokymat SA, the world’s leading supplier of RFID transponders, launches the new generation of its Logi TAG family with the introduction of the Logi TAG 161 Sedna. The Logi TAG 161 Sedna is especially designed to meet the high mechanical, temperature and chemical resistance required for harsh environments common to laundry applications.
Measuring only 16mm in diameter (0.63”) with a thickness of less than 3mm (0.12”), the Sokymat Logi TAG 161 Sedna is the smallest RFID laundry tag available on the market, based on high frequency 13.56MHz technology and the open standards ISO15693 and ISO18000-3. The new Logi TAG 161 contains a unique 64 bit identification code and a 56 bit OTP (one time programmable) memory chip, and features the highest read range / tag size ratio available. Thanks to its anti-collision feature, it is possible for one reader to simultaneously read many tags, very quickly and without line of sight. This is one among many of the major advantages compared to barcode-based solutions. With its light grey color and its very small size, the Logi TAG 161 is the ideal solution for the identification of all kinds of textiles.
Sokymat developed the Logi TAG 161 laundry tag as the evolution of the Logi TAG 160, widely used by the laundry industry and other market segments since 2002 and renown for its superior performance. A new encapsulation technology which uses a modified and high performance thermoplastic was the focus of the development effort for new Logi TAG 161. In addition, this new material complies with food compatibility grade and therefore makes it different to other types of laundry tags made of PPS or epoxy.
Philippe Held, Sokymat Industry & Logistics Product Manager, comments, “The objective of the new generation Logi TAG 161 Sedna was to maintain the proven performance of the Logi TAG 160 in light of laundry applications and achieve it at a more cost effective manufacturing process. Sokymat was able to meet this goal.”
The Logi TAG 161 allows Sokymat, its partners and integrators to offer the laundry market the highest performing laundry tag with the best ratio price / performance.
