RFID Tag: Confidex Ironside Gen2 RFID Tag Completed Certification Testing For Demanding Applications In Aerospace Industry

Confidex, a company in RFID design, manufacturing and engineering, and the Sun Microsystems APT/RFID Test Lab in Longmont, Colorado, recently announced that the Confidex Ironside passive UHR RFID Tag has passed the rigorous testing requirements for the Aerospace Standard AS5678 specification. This patent pending tag solution by Confidex, currently in use supporting a number of industrial on-metal applications around the globe, is now available for use in the Aerospace industry.

"The Confidex Ironside Tags have passed all the tests for environmental extremes such as temperature, shock, vibration, pressure, altitude and others as outlined in the AS5678 specification." Said Brian McGrane, Business Development Manager for the Sun Microsystems APT/RFID test lab. "We are pleased to work with Confidex as they deliver unique tagging solutions that have proven to survive the rigorous aerospace testing requirements we put them through in our lab."

"The RFID market has several products offered for on-metal use. With Ironside we want to put a benchmark to the market for an industrial tag that is truly designed for heavy industrial use. The compact IP 68 housing combined with uncompromised read distance of 15 feet helps to find a higher return on RFID investment for on-metal applications", comments Jarkko Miettinen, VP Business Development at Confidex.

In the aerospace industry, passive UHF RFID brings an attractive technology to securely identify metal parts or transit items in an industry known for its extreme environmental conditions and mechanical durability requirements. In addition to Aerospace applications, Ironside's size and performance has received high interest in industrial tracking applications such as transportation and logistics. The product has also been successfully used to identify rail carts, trucks and reusable transit items in motion from arctic to subtropical regions.

Confidex is represented in the North American market by RFID Tag Source, based in Camden New Jersey.
