Schreiner develops RFID labels for ESD containers

ESD containers are widely used by automotive engineering-based industries when shipping and warehousing electronics, electronic control units, sensors and antennas. The sector often uses RFID returnable transport items for end-to-end data acquisition of electronic components across the entire supply chain. 

But while ESD containers dissipate electrical charges to protect the components they contain, they come with an inherent disadvantage: drastic decrease of conventional RFID labels performance.

The new (rfid))-DistaFerr ESD labels developed by Schreiner are optimally suited for use on ESD materials, offering robust protection against aggressive substances, weather-resistance, are wash-proof and allow for onsite thermal transfer printing and programming. 

Schreiner has also unveiled LongRange version for longer-distance readability of up to six meters. This is important in situations where ESD containers are transported via forklift through a gate and must be bulk-readable – a scenario for which standard RFID labels are unsuitable.
