The traditional paper documents (instruction sheets and product labels) are smartened up with RFID to grasp the progress of processes, collecting (notifying) data on each process's equipment, operators, and status (setup, manufacturing, interruption, etc.), along with change time data. The points of "easy and reliable" are threefold. (1) The installation of equipment is easy ⇒ just place it down (2) The operation is easy ⇒ just place/remove it (3) Notifications are reliable ⇒ mutual communication, accumulation and retransmission in case of disconnection The "touch panel display-equipped, autonomous operation-type, RFID achievement information collection terminal" installed at each process site will notify data to designated PCs/servers via wireless LAN/wired LAN. Since the notification destination is set in advance on the terminal, it can be used simply by turning on the power at the site. On-site operations also collect status by simply "placing/removing" smartened-up documents and operator cards utilizing RFID. The display can show messages according to the connection status with the notification destination and the data reception status, and it is also equipped with a retransmission function for undelivered data. In the case of utilizing traditional paper documents, manufacturing can continue even in the event of a system failure.

The UHF band RFID tag inlets and labels we introduce can serve as alternatives to existing products, be mixed with existing products, and help reduce costs. We have prepared a sample set, so we kindly ask you to try it out. In addition to standard specification labels, we will finish labels tailored to your applications and uses at our domestic factory, inspecting all items and providing quality assurance. We will provide labels suitable for your applications and uses, including size and shape, protection and durability of the printed surface, adhesion strength, and options for long-term or temporary use (removable = re-peelable).

We will provide "on-site usable" IC tags utilizing the know-how we have cultivated as a label printing and processing manufacturer for 89 years, ensuring that the benefits gained from individual automatic recognition are delivered reliably, at low cost, and quickly. It has been about 20 years since we started manufacturing RFID and IC tags. As a behind-the-scenes player, we have been supporting the provision of media and supplies, as well as usage and operational support. However, we have now begun to offer solutions so that more people can enjoy the benefits of RFID and IC tag usage, such as "bulk automatic recognition," "recognition without scanning (alignment of optical axis and light irradiation)," and "automatic recognition of transported items," leading to labor-saving, reduction of personnel, automation, time savings, cost reduction, and improved accuracy. Any gaps will be filled through alliances with partners. We kindly ask you to consult with us.

This time, we will confirm the basics of UHF band RFID (NFC) tags through experiments. We will provide an experimental video to easily check "how cards without batteries, such as tags for pharmaceuticals and apparel products, operate." Each tag is equipped with an IC chip. To operate that IC chip, "power" is, of course, necessary. RFID tags receive and operate on that "power" non-contactly. In other words, it is "wireless power transmission." In the case of UHF band RFID tags, the wireless source of "power" is "radio waves." *For more detailed information, you can view it through the related links. For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to utilize RFID for the management of molds, steel materials, and jigs, but we often encounter situations where there are challenges in using RFID in their original application scenarios. This may be due to environmental considerations or issues related to shape and size (protrusions), which often prevents us from meeting customer requests. One example of this is in inventory management, stocktaking, and searching during use for molds, steel materials, and jigs, where the action of "removing RFID tags from metal management targets" occurs. However, there are cases where we prioritize the overall reduction of man-hours and utilize "magnet-mounted RFID tags." This time, we would like to introduce the "magnet-mounted RFID tags." *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links. For more information, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

UHF band RFID has the advantage of being able to recognize multiple targets over long distances (typically a few to about 10 meters), but it struggles with recognizing specific areas or orientations, leading to cases of unintended tag recognition, commonly referred to as "misreads." The basic countermeasure is to limit the reach of the radio waves from the reader side through "radio wave shielding," or to eliminate the radio wave path to tags that cause unintended recognition. In this instance, we will release a video of a simple experiment conducted on materials used for "shielding radio waves." *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related link. For more information, feel free to download the PDF or contact us directly.*

Even with proper management, inventory involves tasks like "counting" and "searching." "I want to finish it quickly without taking too much time." "Depending on the business, daily checks of supplies and tools are necessary." "Visual confirmation, manual input check sheets, and report entries. I want to automate this with digital solutions." If you have such concerns, utilizing RFID for asset management might be a solution. At C-Rex, we offer a "rental and trial service" to help you determine whether RFID utilization is appropriate. Based on our extensive experience providing RFID tags, devices, and software for numerous cases over the years, we have prepared a simple package for you to try out. *You can view the detailed content of the column through the related links.

Utilizing individual identification of UHF band RFID for branching decisions and reading processing instruction data, as well as recording the start and completion times of processes, there are systems where recognition errors can be fatal. Additionally, RFID tags may be attached to metal work tables, line pallets, metal product frames, and metal jigs, and transported on lines or conveyors. In preliminary verification, to ensure the reliable realization of "individual identification," the reader-side equipment and antennas are selected and positioned, and the wireless output is adjusted. However, in operational verification, "misrecognition" may occur. This time, we will release a video that simply experiments (reproduces) the occurrence of that "misrecognition." *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.
