Applications

New applications : same infrastructure

Tego is enabling major advances in both where and how RFID technology is deployed. Patented technology allows applications to leap beyond identification and onto full-life asset management.

 Features such as high-memory capacity and the ability to interface to other devices significantly lower the total cost of ownership compared to other approaches, including identification-only, semi-passive and active systems. 

Tego tags survive the harshest of environments, including.:

• Medical items repeatedly subjected to gamma sterilization
• Engine parts exposed to high temperatures
• Tagged assets where data must survive for decades

Tego products are fully compliant with ISO and EPCglobal standards, and readily interoperable with widely deployed UHF Gen 2 RFID  infrastructure.

Example use cases

Tego technology is applicable to many industries in use cases that include:

• Recording asset history — e.g. maintenance records in aviation, oil and gas, and industrial manufacturing;
• Managing product configuration — e.g. traceability of parts in aviation, defense and automotive applications;
• Increasing security — e.g. Secure smart cards with with biometric information that includes facial images and with sensitive data protected by NSA Suite B algorithms;
• Proving authenticity — e.g. authenticated legal documents and records via digital signature;
• Tracking assets in harsh environments — e.g. tags that can survive high temperatures in engines or repeated exposure to radiation in nuclear power plants;
• Recovering from natural disasters or other events — e.g. accessing inventory and configuration of in-field assets by utility companies;
• Battery-free sensing, monitoring and control — e.g. temperature, pressure, shock sensing, and environmental monitoring by transportation, building, and alternative energy companies.
