According to the company, the customized production line can apply and read up to 15,000 tags per hour. Thinfilm’s “Tag Talks First” protocol is a key feature of the OpenSense tag and enables a rapid read-speed.
The ongoing collaboration to integrate the smart technology into product packaging will also include the integration of ferrite shields with the OpenSense tags, which will enable the NFC technology to function on metalized packaging such as blisters commonly used for cold/flu medication.
