Fujitsu Develops 64kB High-capacity FRAM RFID Tag

( 1 Mar 2008 )

Fujitsu Ltd has developed what it claims to be the world's first 64kB ultra-high frequency (UHF)-band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with high-capacity FRAM—providing sufficient memory capacity to store large volumes of aircraft part and maintenance history data, while supporting a number of different radio frequencies to enable traceability worldwide.

Equipped with 64kB FRAM memory, Fujitsu's new RFID tag will enable highly efficient global aircraft maintenance operations by ensuring precise and rapid management of each aircraft part. The tag complies with the EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2 standard supporting a variety of radio frequencies, which vary by region, and thus provides for global traceability. The tag also meets fire retardancy standards by satisfying the testing requirements for SAE AS5678 specifications.

The 50.8x25.4x6.22mm UHF-RFID tags can deliver high-speed data writing capability and high durability, while also offering state-of-the-art security functions, such as password management for each part of the memory area. It will also enable numerous automated data exchange and data management processes by providing a robust, pointof- use information source, resulting in significant cycle-time and cost reduction for airline maintenance operations and supply chain management.
