Versatility for a Wide Range of IoT Applications

The ID-Tune I3 and ID-Safe I3 NFC inlays excel in both vicinity range (up to 1.5 meters) and close-range interactions. In the vicinity range, enhanced readability, material compatibility, and rapid data transfer enable seamless integration and improve operational efficiency. For close-range applications, features like first-opening indication and flexible counters enhance user engagement and product interactivity.

These capabilities position Identiv’s NFC inlays as ideal for applications like:

• Product tracking and inventory management
• Brand protection and anti-counterfeiting
• Smart device consumable systems
• Personalized consumer engagement

In healthcare, they support applications such as diagnostics, monitoring, therapy, and home medical devices. Other sectors include logistics, wine and spirits, specialty retail, smart home devices, and smart packaging.
