Reel To Reel Assembly
Polyester RFID Technology using 63/37 solder as the components inter-connect.
A project with a solder interconnect will make it 100 times more reliable than conductive adhesives in thermally active environments. Fully automated reel to reel assembly lines are used to process 1,000 ft. master rolls of flexible circuits. Automated Assembly Corporation has developed Reel-to-Reel assembly to become the first in the world to place IC's, Flip Chip, and Standard SMT components in a fully automated Roll-to-Roll assembly process.

RFID At Tag Level
Rugged RFID Tags

A rugged RFID tag can be designed for all applications that see extreme temperature changes during the life of the product. AAC rugged RFID tags have been thermal shocked from -55°C to 125°C with 10 second transition from hot to cold, for 2,000 cycles without failure. In comparison, the standard shelf tags will start failing in as little as five thermal shock cycles. Rugged tags can be manufactured on a number of flexible materials. Rugged tags are ideal for outdoor applications and tag graphics have excellent ultraviolet resistance for longevity outdoors. Rugged tags can also endure rollers in the packaging arena. Rugged tags have a greater read constancy and reliability of a good read for the life of the tag. From Alaskan winters, to Arizona summers, rugged RFID tags are designed to meet the requirements.
