New steel wrap-around RFID tags now available
Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) is announcing a new, metal wrap-around beef tag with RFID technology.
The tag is produced by Shearwell Data. The microchip is overmolded in a plastic insert, allowing easy readability and uncompromised read range.
In addition, Destron Fearing’s eTag (DMR RFID) has been upgraded. It now includes a fully molded outer tag housing. The improvement sees better durability and water resistance. It also has an enhanced locking mechanism for greater retention.
Those interested in either tag can phone 1-877-909-2333 or head to the CCIA Webstore.
