Our NFC Bullseye™ On-Metal tags have been specifically designed to work on metallic
objects. They open the door to all applications involving the tagging of metal surfaces that
need to be identified or interacted with, such as metallic parts, tools, machines, spare parts
and even domestic items.
In our Bullseye™ On-Metal tags, we combine flexible ferrite materials with a
performance-optimized antenna design. The super-thin ferrite-based inlay is produced by
applying a layer of ferrite material to the inlay, which isolates the magnetic field from the
metal surface. Ferrite redirects the reader’s inductive field, and prevents energy from being
wasted as heat within the metallic surface.
The flexible ferrite-based NFC inlays are suitable for roll-to-roll manufacturing processes,
which make onward processing much easier and more cost-effective, and allow converters
to overprint the inlays if required.
Bullseye™ On-Metal is equipped with the NXP NTAG213 IC. This chip offers (UID) mirror
functionality that enables the IC’s serial number to be mirrored as part of its encoded data,
and identifies unique reads from the application perspective.
