Identiv collaborates with NXP

27/04/2022

Identiv Inc, a global provider in digital security and identification in the Internet of Things (IoT), has announced its portfolio of near-field communication (NFC)-enabled status detection tags for advanced IoT security. Identiv’s range of NFC tags is among the first available with NXP NTAG 22x DNA chip devices, adding unique capabilities for advanced anti-counterfeiting, new-to-market tamper detection and batteryless condition sensing.

Identiv’s sophisticated NFC tag designs based on NXP’s new NTAG 22x DNA chip series enable a wide range of sensing solutions for customers in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, retail, smart packaging, supply chain control (for example blockchain) and augmented user experiences. The cutting-edge portfolio secures everyday objects in mobile anti-counterfeit authentication applications and closed-loop systems, tamper-proof medications, beverages and consumables, and senses specific conditions such as moisture, pressure or fill level powered by an NFC field, all without a battery. The sensing tags with conductive and capacitive capabilities are ideal for status-aware applications enhancing quality assurance along the supply chain, verifying fill levels for refill orders or patient compliance and wet/dry sensing for smart wound recovery or skin patches.

“Our collaboration with Identiv catalyses our constant quest for innovation in the smart, secure product space,” said Philippe Dubois, NXP Semiconductors Vice President and General Manager of Secure Edge Identification. “The NTAG 22x DNA series, NXP’s new NFC single-chip solutions, provide CC EAL3+ certified security, dual-mode tamper detection and simple battery-free sensing for a broad range of IoT applications. With Identiv’s specialised tagging solutions for the NTAG 22x DNA series, manufacturers can now protect product authenticity and integrity, while enabling a new level of condition monitoring to assure product quality and correct handling.”
