New Product Release 

Tracient Padl-R Series RFID Readers 

The Tracient Padl-R Series RFID Readers provide a flexible 

combination of Bluetooth and USB interfaces. Readily integrated 

with a wide variety of wireless handheld PDAs or smart phones 

using Bluetooth makes it a perfect retrofit option for businesses 

wanting to add value to their existing handheld technology. 

Alternatively the USB interface allows for static mounting on a 

wall or counter for tagged items to be read in close proximity. 

The Padl-R Readers feature a highly configurable user interface 

with a variety of use modes such as push to read, remote 

triggering or 'always on' operation. Up to 1,000 tag values can be 

stored using the data logging mode and downloaded to a PC or 

laptop at a later time. Integration with other products such as 

Bluetooth GPS receivers is easy using Tracient’s Sens-R Blue 

technology. 

The Padl-R Readers are ideal for the mobile workforce to track and monitor mobile assets and for assisting with 

simultaneous asset position and identification in the field. Lightweight portability makes it excellent for use in 

security or logistics operations. Operating with industry standard tags these readers are also ideal for Near Field 

Communications (NFC) type applications. Other applications include indoor asset management, condition 

monitoring, security, vending and ticketing.

UMD Stocked RFID Tags 

The FerroxTag FXT 1.X Series are High Frequency (13.56Mz) RFID transponders 

designed for harsh environments. Small size and screw mounting holes make them ideally 

suited to attaching to a variety of assets including metal and non-metal objects. The 

FerroxTag can also be glued onto assets. Furthermore, the FerroxTag uses a high 

magnetic permeability ferrite material that enhances the performance of the winding thus 

reducing the dimensions of the coil and tag.

The FerroxTag FXT 1.2 Intrinsically Safe Series are High Frequency (13.56Mz) RFID 

transponder's are designed for use in harsh and potentially explosive environments. Its 

small size and screw mounting holes make it ideally suited to attaching to a variety of 

metal assets. The FerroxTag can also be glued onto the asset. A key feature of the 

FerroxTag is the direction of the engergising field activating the device: it is not 

perpendicular to the identified item but parallel to it. This means that the performance is 

almost independent of the material to which it is attached. 


FerroxTag 13.56MHz with Bar Code encapsulated L-shape plastic capsule is complaint 

with the ISO/IES 15693 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 global open standards. It includes an ID 

number bar printed code on the encapsulation, keeping the possibility to read it with a 

standard bar code reader. This product offers a user accessible memory of 1024 bits, 

organized in 32 blocks of 4 bytes and an optimizedcommand set. Each transponder has a 

factory programmed 8 byte unique identifier. Prior to delivery the FerroxTag's undergo 

complete parametric testing, in order to ensure the highest quality. 


The PDC Smart Re-Wearable Wristband is a waterproof 100% silicone wristband with an 

embedded 13.56MHz RFID Transponder. With a comfortable flexible silicone material, 

the PDC Smart is an ideal wristband for use as a season pass or gym membership, or 

alternatively can be re-issued again and again for event day entry uses.

The 13.56MHz Encapsulated Transponder from Texas Instruments is compliant with the 

ISO/IEC 15693 standard, a global open standard that allows interoperability of products 

from multiple manufacturers. A user memory of 2k bits allows for advanced solutions in 

demanding supply chain management applications such as laundry tracking. It is 

especially designed and tested for applications that require a ruggedized transponder 

that can withstand harsh environments.

The ClarIDy MSIT50 is a custom designed tag for application onto metalic and nonmetalic 

surfaces. As a passive UHF tag it offers relatively long read distances and is 

appropriate for use on parts, components, tools, shelves, consumer and electronic 

products, automobile and container tracking.

The Fujitsu A501 "linen" RFID tags are the perfect solution for allowing you to maximize 

your laundry management effectiveness. These "linen" tags can be used on any textile 

good such as uniforms, garments, towels, mats, etc, are waterproof, heatproof, pressure 

and alkaline resistant making them the perfect tool for application in hospitals, leisure 

facilities, hotels and inns. The durability and flexible nature of these "linen" tags make 

them ideally suited for insertion into seams or linings of cotton, woollen and synthetic 

garments and manchester.

The IT32A, Intermec Technologies version of an RFID UHF identification card, offers 

broader applicability than its predecessor with EPC Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C air interface 

protocol, and both FCC (915 MHz) coniguration. It also provides a longer read range than 

most RFID card form factors. While the IT32A ID card is primarily intended for use as an 

identification badge for long range ingress / egress monitoring, its longer read range and 

durable packaging make it the ideal RFID tag for a variety of other applications.

Intermec’s Large Rigid tag is a truly passive UHF radio frequency 

identiication (RFID) transponder that delivers superior performance on 

a variety of surfaces including plastic, wood and metal. The tag, 

available in both Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6B versions, combines an 

impressive range with a rugged yet compact package designed for harsh industrial applications and 

temperatures ranging from -40° to 250° F (-40° to +121° C). No other tag on the market can claim the 

ruggedness and worldwide usability of these tags.

Intermec’s Small Rigid tag is a truly passive UHF radio frequency identiication (RFID) 

transponder that delivers superior performance on a variety of surfaces, including metal, 

plastic and wood. The tag, available in both Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6B versions, combines 

an impressive range with a rugged yet compact package designed for harsh industrial 

applications and temperatures from -40°C to 121°C. No other tags on the market can claim the ruggedness 

and worldwide usability of these tags. 

The Small Rigid Tags are ideal for industrial applications where ruggedness, chemical resistance or higher 

temperature ratings are required and where tag size is an important consideration.

UMD stock a range of HF and UHF Smart Labels. 

In particular, the UHF small labels are available in rolls of 50, ideal for 

testing and pilots.
