AD Solar U9 [UHF RFID tag and inlay]

Fit for a reliable tagging in harsh environments with a lower carbon footprint

Industry segments: Industrial Applications

AD Solar U9 labels leverage the capabilities of NXP’s UCODE 9 chip, and offer excellent performance in demanding environments and on different materials. Labels has been designed for Agricultural and industrial applications and hence their weathering resistance has been tested with a specific testing protocol to simulate outdoor durability up to 12 months. 1000 hours of environmental exposure consisting of long periods of simulated sunlight, high humidity and elevated temperatures did not affect to the RF performance of the labels.

AD Solar U9 provide maximum performance on a given footprint of 70 x 14.5 mm and feature 96-bit of EPC memory as well as a 96-bit unique factory locked TID number. A 48-bit unique serial number is factory-encoded into the TID. Delivery format is pressure sensitive label.

Avery Dennison inlays and tags are compliant with ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management, which ensure a reliable and state-of-the-art product that meets a variety of application needs.

Sustainability ~ 30% recycled PET content
AD Solar U9 is manufactured through a die-cutting process, whereby the antenna is directly adhered on recycled PET. According to a LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) study by an independent institute, this process is providing 70-90% savings in carbon footprint compared to the traditional etching method. At least 30% of the total product weight supplied contains recycled PET content. The white PET antenna substrate is made out of 70% of chemically certified recycled PET, without compromising any performance or reliability compared to the product using virgin PET materials.
