Imation - DataGuard™ rf Volser Labels with RFID

Proven RFID technology that provides inventory control for many of the world's most successful companies is now ready for the data center. In one robust label (patent pending in the U.S. and other countries), Imation has coupled passive RFID tags with a specially printed volume-and-serial-number or "Volser" identification, which is then securely applied to each tape cartridge in the data center.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology - an integrated circuit with a passive RFID chip and a custom-designed antenna for extended range.
Volser identification - it combines bar code, color and serial number for limitless flexibility.
Advanced UHF (ultra high frequency) technology - for increased range and 100% accuracy.

At the heart of the label is Imation's custom designed antenna, which extends read ranges up to 6 feet for a single cartridge and up to 2 feet for 20 cartridges in a DataGuard™ transport case. The built-in antenna also increases accuracy, since each label is tuned to be read both straight on and at angles of up to 45 degrees. No double or triple passes are needed.

Imation's Volser labels with integrated RFID technology enable UHF readers to quickly read each cartridge with 100% accuracy and reliability, thus allowing data center personnel to more efficiently track every tape cartridge.

Imation's RFID tracking solution can also be integrated into EDP labels. Contact your Imation representative for more information.

RFID enabled labels

AquaGuard™ Surface
An added advantage to using Imation's RFID labels is that each label features an AquaGuard Surface that will not wash away and is smudge-and smear-resistant. The AquaGuard surface locks the ink in place, extending the life of your label.
