来自Impinj高级产品线策划经理 Nikhil Deulkar的博客
首先对Xerafy近期发布的新产品Metal SkinTM 表示祝贺，这款产品使用Impinj® Monza® 4QT 芯片，经过Impinj实验室的测试，Metal Skin Inlay在金属铝板上的读写距离长达5米，真是非常了不起！
一直以来，市场上已有的RFID标签存在着互相矛盾的两个方面：
- 能够在金属环境使用的RFID标签（多数为硬标签）不能通过标签封装复合的方式满足特定市场的需求；
- 能够封装复合的标准标签又不能在金属环境使用。 Continue reading

RFID实现医疗行业智能化
美国医疗信息管理协会（HIMSS）举办的年会将如期于下周举行，Xerafy届时将亮相展会，带来最新最前沿的医疗行业RFID应用。
现代医疗机构尽管设备先进，医疗技术发达，但仍然面对如何有效管理这些昂贵资产的挑战。据一项来自AMR研究机构的报告显示，10％－20％的医院都存在医疗资产在使用期间被盗或丢失的情况，每件资产造成的成本损失高达3000美元。就拿手术室来说，每场外科手术需要使用的医疗器械多达几十种甚至上百种，如何有效管理这些昂贵的医疗设备成为医院最棘手的问题。
Video: RFID Revolutionizing the Healthcare Industry
With Xerafy in attendance at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference and Exhibition next week, we thought we would take this opportunity to highlight some of the advances in the adoption of RFID in the healthcare industry.
Hospitals face a significant and costly asset management challenge. AMR Research reports that between 10 percent and 20 percent of a typical hospital’s mobile assets are lost or stolen during their useful life at an average cost of nearly $3,000 per item. In the operating theater, where every surgery may require dozens or even hundreds of instruments, the challenge is even more daunting.
Integrated Business Systems and Services (IBSS) developed an RFID solution for the organization’s 750-bed tertiary hospital that leveraged Greenville’s existing Cisco wireless LAN, along with Xerafy passive RFID tags, ThingMagic EPC Gen 2 Mercury5 and Astra RFID readers, and an RFID portal from Industrial Portals – a division of Jamison Door.
IBSS installed a heavy-duty Mercury5 RFID portal for the OR linen cart exit to the laundry and decontamination rooms. All linens are moved through this hallway and placed in biomedical or standard trash bins, or to a holding area for cleaning. If a probe passes by the portal in one of the laundry carts, an audible alarm sounds. Information about the event is communicated via Wi-Fi network to the IBSS SynTrack for Healthcare application, which issues e-mail alerts to the appropriate personnel.
To tag the small surgical probes, IBSS selected Xerafy’s durable XS UHF tags. The world’s smallest ruggedized passive RFID tags have a read range of 5 to 6 feet and can be embedded easily in surgical tools without interfering with their use. The XS Series is designed to comply with the most stringent FDA requirements to CPG Sec. 400.210 for RFID use and ISO-10993 for Biocompatibility and FCC compliance to Part 15.231a. The tags are rugged and will withstand 1,000 repeated autoclave sterilization cycles.
The following video highlights how the system works.

We are excited to show off our RFID solutions for the healthcare industry with our partners ThingMagic, RFID Global Solution and Vizbee Solutions at the HIMSS show.
