Blue Spark unveils battery-assisted RFID

CLEVELAND, Ohio—Blue Spark Technologies announced battery-powered passive RFID to the RFID market. It is set to power new and emerging applications in manufacturing, supply chain, healthcare, asset management, security, and retail.

"Innovation to drive improved performance typically follows after technologies mature and become increasingly more commoditized," explains Gary Johnson, Blue Spark president and CEO. "For many high-value applications, battery-assisted passive effectively bridges the price/performance gap that exists between pure passive UHF and active RFID, and does so with far less complexity and expense." pP
