Etiflex Corp, a manufacturer of industrial labels and inspection tags, received its second patent in relation to its molded tags. Etiflex already holds a patent for its unique RFID tags. The newest patent for their line of Data Matrix tags is based on the unique three dimensional construction resulting in tags that are extremely durable - making them ideal for outdoor and harsh environments. The new tags allow the user to record information on the tag even while it is installed - so it can be used to permanently display and record inspections over a multi-year period. They can also be configured for product identification, serial numbers, and any specific data that needs to be recorded. The 3-D construction and UV resistant formulation is designed to last in abrasive environments like construction equipment, marine use, utility companies, and lifting slings. The two patents can be combined to make the tag RFID enabled which allows the tag to electronically record the information utilizing RFID software, while also visually displaying the information so anyone can also see and record information as well.
