NXP Launches Industry's First Livestock RFID Solution with Anti-Collision Technology

NXP announced its latest low frequency RFID IC aimed at livestock identification and industrial logistics, the HITAG µ, offering RF performance for effective tracking of livestock with industry benchmark read distances.

New HITAG µ featuring industry leading RF performance and special command set to enable fast programming

NXP announced its latest low frequency RFID IC aimed at livestock identification and industrial logistics, the HITAG µ, offering RF performance for effective tracking of livestock with industry benchmark read distances.

Due to a fast write command feature the product has been optimized for initial set-up, reducing the programming time by half compared to other solutions on the market.

The HITAG µ builds on the concept and success of NXPs HITAG S IC, which has been leading in the market for low frequency RFID applications in the recent years. It is the first RFID chip for passive low frequency tags on the animal identification market to feature anti-collision technology.

The algorithm ensures that multiple tags can be read at any given time allowing for individual animals in a herd to be identified. In other multiple tag applications, such as production control or asset management, the increased read distance, optimised anti-collision algorithm and reduced write times allow for a best in class identification solution, provided at competitive cost levels.
