ZMDs RFID time & temperature recording IC
ZMD launched the ZMD41211, its multifunction temperature logger and Smart Label RFID IC.
ZMD launched the ZMD41211, its multifunction temperature logger and Smart Label RFID IC. The ZMD41211 enables logistics customers to precisely monitor and record temperature and humidity throughout the shipping process. Many materials can tolerate temperature fluctuations, but only for a limited amount of time. ZMD's new RFID IC records time as well as temperature, so shippers can determine the total exposure. This avoids the necessity of discarding products that may only have been briefly exposed to temperatures outside the permitted range.
The ZMD41211 is cost-effective for all types of temperature or spoilage-sensitive products, from vaccines to vegetables. It has a built-in timer function that allows the user to customize the monitoring frequency. An on-chip temperature sensor and EEPROM allows the logging of time and temperature values during the entire transportation process. The RF interface is easy to use. ZMD's new temperature logger complies with ISO 15693 RFID technology and can be read and programmed with existing standard compliant systems.
ZMD's new RFID IC device is highly integrated. It has an on-chip passive transponder, temperature sensor, timer, and EEPROM. Temperature logging requires only a small external coil and a 1.3V battery. The ZMD41211 offers the lowest-cost recording solution on the market, and because it is fully wireless and ISO 15693 compliant, it is easy to implement in existing supply chains.
