Pliant and PowerID Demonstrate Tamper-proofing Solution for High-value Pallets

Pliant’s unique, electrically conductive stretch film combined with PowerID’s specially designed PowerG labels for tracking freight and high value pallets, provides a viable solution by overcoming the distinct limitations of barcode technologies, the limited performance of standard passive RFID, and the high cost of active RFID. Electrically connected to the stretch film wrapped around a pallet, the PowerG label is readable by RFID readers when the stretch film is intact and the electrical circuit is closed. However, when the stretch film is tampered with, the circuit is broken, rendering the label unreadable and thereby alerting a supply chain manager to possible tampering.
