Hana Technologies is now offering a new RFID inlay targeted for compact footprint across a multitude of industries.
The release of the TX5015 M830, a new ARC-Certified RFID inlay, is designed for apparel, consumer electronics, loss prevention, and sporting goods applications. At nearly half the size of the traditional 50 x 30 mm inlay, the TX5015 delivers full-size performance in a unique, ultra-compact form factor, according to Hana officials
The tag is specifically built for the demands of retail, supply chain, and logistics sectors in a compact footprint.
Impinj Partnership
The TX5015 M830 supports Gen2X, an enhancement to the RAIN RFID radio standard developed by Impinj. Gen2X improves read speed, increases tag read range, and increases accuracy, especially in dense or complex environments.
“Our engineering team worked closely with Impinj and industry partners to develop a compact solution that doesn’t compromise performance,” said Dr. Jeremy Liu, CTO of Hana RFID. “
Gen2X Compliant
Gen2X, operating within the RAIN RFID radio standard, aims to reduce inventory count times and enhances readability of small or embedded tags, helping to lower labor and hardware costs. Additionally, it improves directional accuracy at dock doors, declutters shipment loading zones, supports loss prevention at self-checkout, and addresses privacy and anti-counterfeiting concerns.
Gahan Richardson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Impinj Business Unit is thrilled with innovative new inlays.
“The TX5015 M830 takes advantage of the improved tag readability and reliability of the Impinj M800 series tag chips and Gen2X,” said Richardson. “We are excited to work with Hana RFID to deliver high-performance inlays in compact sizes, enabling businesses to leverage RAIN RFID item connectivity in more use cases.”
Tag Placement Flexibility
Beyond its innovation in form factor, Hana officials point out that he TX5015 M830 enhances production efficiency by enabling higher units-per-hour (UPH) throughput for label converters, ultimately accelerating time to market. It also reduces material consumption, which lessens environmental impact, and cuts down shipping costs by optimizing packaging density.
For customers, supplying retail playbook users such as Walmart, Dick’s, Macy’s, Dillard’s, and Nordstrom, this means not only greater flexibility in tag placement—especially in tight or hard-to-tag areas—but also better operational and economic performance.
“The TX5015 represents a new benchmark in size and efficiency, and it reflects our continued commitment to driving innovation in the RFID industry.” said Dr. Jeremy Liu, CTO of Hana RFID.
The inlay is available for sampling and volume production.
