This allows electronics equipment manufacturers to investigate the ease with which this PCB identification approach can be implemented.
The use of UHF RFID has immense advantages compared to traditional optical identification methods. UHF RFID uses a batteryless approach. It will work when the device is unpowered and does not need line of sight. Identification can occur when the finished PCB is fully assembled and when it is packaged in the shipping carton. Apart from board traceability, the identification is available across the whole supply chain and greatly aids anti-counterfeit brand protection initiatives.
Starting from April 2013 this free RFID-prototyping service is available for 6 months.
