Understanding how an anti-counterfeit ID tag based on MicroWire technology works may seem challenging, but this complexity ensures a high level of security. RVmagnetics offers numerous mutually non-interchangeable ID tags, allowing for the tagging of a vast number of products where traditional commercial IDs are unsuitable due to size, appearance, or security concerns.
MicroWire, in the form of an identification sensor, offers a unique, effective, and efficient identification method based on magnetic principles. With various MicroWire nucleus compositions and different excitation frequencies, it provides a wide range of signal types. Its passive nature allows MicroWire to be embedded within materials. This ensures the ID tag remains intact unless the monitored product is destroyed. This innovation enhances anti-counterfeit measures, as MicroWire integration does not affect a product’s appearance or structural integrity.
A specific, user-defined coil setup is designed to read the MicroWire’s response. This setup, consisting of excitation and pick-up coils, generates a specific electromagnetic field, while the sensing coil detects the MicroWire’s response. This reading device can identify the MicroWire from a distance of up to 5-6cm. Despite operating on magnetic principles, this sensor is immune to external magnetic fields, ensuring reliable identification.
Due to its properties, MicroWire can be applied across various industries:
Equip your goods with Invisible Tags for Counterfeit Protection
Micro-dimensions of a MicroWire enable the integration of a sensor directly into an object during the manufacturing process hiding it from a human eye. By looking at the objects with and without MicroWire, no difference is visible, However by using the tailor-made data acquisition device, the object equipped with the MicroWire creates a unique magnetic signal. The signal is picked up and notifies the user about the presence of the MicroWire. This can serve as a hidden safety-critical part to distinguish between real and fake products in various industries.
