What can RFID do for you?
Synertech RFID News| Oct 29, 2021
Real-time tracking of assets and inventory.
By attaching an RFID tag to each asset in a warehouse, you get insights into where every asset is within your warehouse. This reduces the time to locate assets and inventory. The insights gained from the use of RFID allow for improvements in stock control because you know exactly what inventory you have on hand and what needs to be ordered.
Optimize workflow.
RFID allows for automated workflows from beginning to end. Incoming and outgoing shipments are tracked effortlessly using RFID portal solutions, providing efficiency, transparency and safety. Automatic RFID tracking is highly accurate, minimising the occurrence of reading errors.
Reduce inventory.
When you know exactly what you have, what is running low and what you need to order, you are able to keep your inventory at a minimum, yet still have what you need when and where you need it. RFID detection systems directly control stock picking and material retrieval.
Improve resource utilization.
RFID gives you the power to enhance your workforce. Inventory picking becomes an efficient process instead of wasted manpower.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Synertech RFID News| Sep 29, 2021
The global microchip shortage has caused significant disruption in a number on industries and the RFID industry is no different. Disruptions in our supply chains have resulted in longer lead times and stock outages in the majority of our hardware suppliers.
What does this mean for our valued customers?
Delays in the rollout of new projects, hardware and solutions can be expected. While we will always strive to give our clients the best possible service with the greatest level of transparency, unfortunately we at Synertech are not able to guarantee the delivery date of hardware devices and tags.
What can be done from our Client’s side?
In order to mitigate the effects of supply chain disruptions on our clients’ RFID installations and solutions, we strongly encourage our clients to plan RFID project rollouts well in advance, place orders for new tags and other hardware as soon as possible and keep additional stock of tags and spares in order to mitigate the risk out stock outages.

LabTAG New Release
Synertech RFID News| Sep 15, 2021
We at Synertech are proud partners of GA International and LabTAG products.
LabTAG now has acquired a new piece of technology that will allow for the insertion RFID inlays into any of their durable labels, providing clients improved identification and tracking options.
As such, LabTAG is proud to announce the launch of two unique new RFID solutions, exclusive to LabTAG. RFID NitroTAG & RFID XyliTUFF. These RFID labels will withstand immersion in liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and exposure to harsh chemical and solvents, respectively. These added features will also not compromise their ability to be scanned/read using RFID readers.
RFID NitroTAG®
Cryogenic RFID Labels (-196°C)
- Ideal for liquid nitrogen storage, no lag time when scanning/reading items
- Scan multiple cryo containers simultaneously, even without a clear line-of-sight
- Flexible UHF antenna allows form firm adhesion even on curved and wet surfaces
RFID XyliTUFF™
Xylene & Chemical-Resistant RFID Labels
- Resistant to xylene, xylene substitutes, alcohols, and other lab solvents
- 12” omnidirectional read range, without direct line-of-sight required
- Excellent stain resistance, ideal for microscope slides used in histology

From Chaos to Control
Synertech RFID News| Jun 14, 2021
Creating visibility and traceability in the Medical Waste Management Industry.
Due to its nature and the severe consequences leading from lack of control, the Medical Waste Industry is highly regulated and calls for accurate data on process conformance. Businesses need to be able to show the trail up until destruction of the material in near real time and keep historical documented proof.
Synertech’s RFID based Medical Waste Management Solution allows clients to achieve real time traceability of medical and bio-medical waste products through their life cycle from collection to destruction. This is achieved through the augmentation of sound engineering controls t in the implementation of AIDC (Automated Identification and Data Capture). By tagging the waste container with RFID labels, providing each container with its own unique identifier, complete cradle to grave traceability becomes reality. The use of this technology helps to ensure compliance with local legislation as well as the standards set out by ISO 14001 with specific regard to the management of the storage, labelling, transportation, and records keeping of medical waste material and ensures accountability whilst reducing dependence on paper-based systems.
