The Gen2 RAIN RFID (UHF) antenna design provides excellent bulk reading performance when tagged folded garments or other small items (e.g. t-shirts) are stacked on retail store floors or other storage areas, especially where large quantities of goods are located in a very confined space. That makes it particularly suitable for inventory accuracy (item-level tagging) and supply chain management applications. 

AD-332u8 inlays are equipped with UCODE 8 chips from NXP, featuring 128-bits of EPC memory and a 96-bit Tag IDentifier (TID) with a 48-bit unique serial number factory-encoded into the TID. The new RAIN RFID inlay measures 70 x 14.5mm being the market’s smallest product that meets ARC category H specifications. It has also passed other application-relevant requirements as defined by the RFID Lab at Auburn University, including the following Specs: F, G, M, N, Q, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, and W6. 

Leading the development of retail-optimized inlays

“With the new AD-332u8 inlay, Avery Dennison has underpinned its claim to be the technological leader in the development of retail and logistics-optimized inlays. The product has already proven its performance and reliability within high-volume customer projects in the fashion retail segment”, said Hal Hikita, Head of Product Line Management, Avery Dennison Intelligent Labels.
