# Dogbone Smartrac: Revolutionizing RFID Technology ## What is Dogbone Smartrac? **Dogbone Smartrac** represents a significant advancement in RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology. As someone who has worked in logistics and supply chain management for over a decade, I've witnessed firsthand how traditional tracking methods often fall short. The introduction of Smartrac's Dogbone inlay design was a game-changer for our operations. Its unique shape isn't just for aesthetics; it provides superior performance in various applications, from retail inventory to access control systems. ## My Personal Experience with Dogbone Smartrac In my previous role managing a large warehouse, we struggled with inventory accuracy. Manual counts were error-prone, and older RFID tags had inconsistent read rates. When we piloted **Dogbone Smartrac** tags, the difference was remarkable. I discovered I had a particular knack for optimizing tag placement—a skill I didn't know I possessed until working with this technology. The Dogbone's design allowed for reliable reads even on metal surfaces and liquid containers, which were our previous pain points. ### Technical Specifications and Parameters For those considering implementation, here are the detailed technical specifications of a standard **Dogbone Smartrac** UHF RFID inlay: - **Dimensions:** 101.6 mm × 16.5 mm (4.0 in × 0.65 in) - **Chip Code:** Impinj Monza R6-P (Alternative: NXP UCODE 7) - **Frequency Range:** 860-960 MHz (UHF Global) - **Memory:** 96-bit EPC, 64-bit TID, 32-bit User Memory - **Read Range:** Up to 8 meters (26 feet) dependent on reader - **Operating Temperature:** -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F) - **Application Temperature:** -50°C to +85°C (-58°F to 185°F) for 10 minutes - **Wet Inlay Performance:** Maintains readability after moisture exposure - **Substrate Material:** PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) 50 μm - **Adhesive Type:** Permanent acrylic *Note: These technical parameters are reference data.
