FN Manufacturing Uses UPM Raflatac’s IDentiTRAK to Meet Federal RFID Mandate

In the first phase of the project, IDentiTRAK tested RFID technology and UHF dipole tags that would meet DoD specifications, providing exceptional portal-based read rates of pallets at distances of up to three meters while moving at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour. The weapons’ metal content created an especially difficult scenario for RFID tagging. During the tag evaluation phase, IDentiTRAK tested several dual dipole UHF tag designs on crates and pallets containing finished weapons and spare parts to ensure 100 percent read rates. “After extensive testing and results benchmarking with our mobile proof of concept kit, the Rafsec Frog UHF tag by UPM Raflatac was the clear choice for this project,” says Jay Fryman, executive director of IDentiTRAK Technologies.
