韓國Sontec推出多款貼裝金屬標簽與RFID應答器，聲稱可在金屬產品或金屬環境做識別應用

4 J$ [7 y! g; r0 o+ fThe new Sontec Co., Ltd., RFID transponder features high read-range performance to facilitate supply chain optimization for consumer goods suppliers of appliances, electronics and products with high metal content.

It's a "practical UHF Gen 2-based RSC management solution for the normally difficult application environment associated with metals," according to Dong-Jin Lee, CEO of Korean company Sontec. "Retailers no longer need additional handheld or labor- intensive solutions to move white-goods and electronics through the supply chain; they can now provide regular retail supply tracking performance when shipping high-content metal materials."

最近市場上，抗金屬標籤的需求量在上漲，但是大家以為抗金屬標籤的在總標籤的佔有率方面，10%，20%等等。

抗金屬標籤只是一個泛泛的說法，實質是說能直接用在金屬及含水的物體上的標籤。
( V; x$ w8 F' j9 P, R從這一點看，應用場合是很廣的，比如集裝箱管理，機械製造業的管理等等，具體說到佔有率是10%，還是20%，誰都不太好說，要看下一步市場推廣、應用的情況，這應該是一個統計資料，不太可能進行預測。

抗金屬標籤很久就有了,以前氣瓶案子都是加隔離材料的一種抗金屬標籤,現在聽說在含水的物體上的標籤也有了.只是暫時還沒有看過.市場份額應該很大,就是成本現在還是很高,很難應用的量上加大!

UHF RFID tag的性能, chip與天線各佔一半, 只有好的chip designer還不夠,
2 @- B( `5 D1 N4 G) ~! b不同的天線pattern (eg. flag, Excalibur, swastika, maxi squiggle, cross, frog,

說5cent RFID會取代bar code才有可能, 只是屆時錢是賣特殊墨水, MEMS噴墨頭,

一般市場報告其實都指出, 現有tag供應商對unit price 20~15 cent以下的市場沒

DennyT 分析得很正確！這份最新市場報告也預測如此.. 價格優勢!?

& ^2 j7 K2 H. f0 h$ P" g& P[11/26/07] InkSure Technologies Inc., a leading provider of covert machine-readable authentication solutions, announced that in a recent report titled Printed and Chipless RFID Forecasts, Technologies & Players ("the Report") by Dr Peter Harrop and Raghu Das of IDTechEx was quoted as saying "The next ten years will see a rapid gain in market share of mainstream chipless tags (digitally encoded and with range of more than one millimeter). The numbers sold globally will rise from 15 million 0.8% of the market in 2007 to 417 billion 62.3% in 2017. By value, chipless versions will rise from $0.52 million in 2007 to $2.10 billion in 2017, 17% of all income from RFID tags in 2017 because most of the increase in penetration will be by price advantage."

( r( b# f" |$ N8 W+ m/ qFurthermore IDTechEx believes that "For the very highest volumes, the tags need to be printed directly on products and packaging like most barcodes today, no label being involved and read only must be accepted to keep cost down." The Report further states that the authors "believe that more than half will be printed directly onto packaging and products in 2017 much like 85-90% of barcodes today", concluding that "Three types - ink stripes, printed radar arrays and Thin Film Transistor Circuits (TFTCs) - have a route to being printed directly onto things and all have enough data and range to be mainstream."

# z$ g7 T2 b. cInkSure leverages the intellectual property developed in its current ink-based security solutions business to develop multi-bit (e.g. 96-bit) "chipless" RFID codes that can be printed with conductive inks beneath the surface of documents, product labels, product packaging and products themselves at a cost of less than one cent (US) each. Such printed codes offer far more security, functionality, and data-carrying capacity than traditional barcodes and have the potential to revolutionize the brand protection and supply chain management industries. The company has branded its technology SARcode, which is representative of one of InkSure's detection principles -- Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). In August 2007, InkSure's SARcode technology was acknowledged as a recipient of the 2007 Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation Award - Chipless Tag Market (APAC).

"We are very excited for this strong validation of the market potential of our revolutionary SARCode Chipless RFID, as well as the specific emphasis on the significant advantages of both our lower cost solution, and ability to print directly on the products or packages" commented Yaron Meerfeld, Inksure's Chief Operations Officer. "Furthermore, the fact that the market is already here, growing and quantifiable further attests to the immediate potential of this market, serving as a major growth driver for InkSure as a key player in this market in quarters and years to come."
