Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 15, 2005
SmartCode Corp., the world leading manufacturer of low cost EPC RFID solutions announced today that it received an order for 100 Millions EPC RFID Tags from MSWAYCO in Korea. Under the terms of the agreement, SmartCode Corp. will supply MSWAYCO with EPC Class 1 and EPC Gen 2 tags to be used in the Korean market.
We are delighted to receive this high volume order for EPC tags. said Avi Ofer, SmartCode Corp. President Korea is an exciting market for RFID and SmartCode Corp. is uniquely positioned to mass produce ultra high volumes of EPC tags at a cost effective price. The sharp increase in demand for our low cost, high performance EPC tags has once again demonstrated the superiority of our offerings, both in performance and in unit price.”
SmartCode Corp. EPC Class 1 RFID Inlays are Ultra-thin Transponders based on polymer tape substrate (PVC, PC or PET-G) and delivered in rolls. The Inlays can be embedded between layers of laminated paper or plastic foil to create inexpensive pallet/case label, product labels, tickets and airline baggage labels.
“Our aim is to be the Korean market leader in providing EPC RFID solutions.” said Taehyun Jeon, RFID General Manager, MSWAYCO “We have chosen SmartCode EPC RFID tags based on its performance and low cost structure. After field testing in our facilities, we have found SmartCode Corp. EPC RFID tags to best meet our needs to become the leading provider of EPC RFID solutions in Korea.”
The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) has unveiled the Ubiquitous-Sensor Network (USN) plan and said it would spend a total of 162.6 billion won until 2010 to develop and commercialize the RFID technology nationwide. The Korean ministry plans to inject 82 billion won into related research and development (R&D) activities and the remaining 63 billion won into pilot projects. The South Korea’s Ministry of Information and Communication have also approved RFID systems to operate in the 908.5 MHz to 914 MHz band in Korea.
As a result of recent industry initiatives driven by Wal-Mart, the Department of Defense (DoD), Tesco, Metro AG, Target, Albertson’s, Best Buy, the FDA and the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA), many global companies are looking for EPC-compliant solutions that satisfy both private and government mandate requirements while at the same time adding value to their business. So far Korea has tested the technology for tracking beef imports (in case of an outbreak of BSE), managing army ammunition inventories and controlling luggage at several national airports.
SmartCode Corp. is a world leader in providing low cost, high performance RFID solutions. Until toady, the prices of RFID tags with an average price of 50 cents each, have created a cost barrier for companies worldwide to adopt the RFID solution as the replacement of the inefficient barcode technology. With SmartCode Corp.s exclusive patented manufacturing technology, SmartCode Corp. can manufacture these RFID tags at a price level of 5-10 cents, in large volumes.
