Avery Dennison RFID, the world’s largest producer of radiofrequency identification (RFID) inlays, has shipped its one billionth ultrahigh-frequencies (UHF) RFID inlay. “For more than 75 years, Avery Dennison has leveraged its deep expertise in materials science and process capabilities to develop innovations in item identification, including the evolution of ‘analog’ adhesive labels into ‘digital’ RFID labels,” said Dean Scarborough, Avery Dennison Chairman, President and CEO. “Since our first RFID shipment in 2004, we have been certain that this technology can fundamentally improve both business operations and the consumer experience.”
The marketplace for UHF RFID tags has progressed in recent years from US Department of Defense compliance mandates and pallet-based supply chain applications to versatile and quantifiable business process solutions.
Distributed in over 60 countries worldwide, Jack Farrell, Vice-President and General Manager of Avery Dennison RFID, is confident that their second billion chips will be shipped in less than half the time it took to ship the first billion.
