ICODE

Specifically designed for high volume logistics involving millions of items per year, ICODE offers a low-cost, re-programmable and disposable solution for source tagging, automatic data capture, theft protection and data storage on a product or its packaging.

ICODE is the industry standard for high-frequency (HF) smart label solutions. It is a state-of-the-art RFID smart label technology combining the advantages of barcode, EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) and traditional RF identification.

With more than 500 million ICs sold, representing the world's largest installed base, ICODE is a proven and reliable technology. The entire ICODE family is supported by ISO 15693, ISO 18000 and EPCglobal compliant infrastructure. Developed in close cooperation with end users and system integrators, it delivers the best price / performance ratio on the market.

ICODE is an open platform, available to any company willing to develop, market and sell ICODE-compatible products and services. Thanks to our Open Value Chain Strategy, NXP is your ideal partner to deliver benchmark RFID solutions globally - whether you're a smart label manufacturer, component supplier or system integrator.

Developed to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry, our latest addition to the family, ICODE UID OTP provides an efficient, reliable and safe system for item-level tracking. As well as providing proof of a medicine’s authenticity, it also brings benefits to the pharmaceutical supply chain. Scanning up to 200 labels per second, it speeds up processes and inline checking, improving efficiency all along the supply chain from manufacturer to pharmacy shelf. Of course, the solution’s benefits and features will also extend its use into many additional application areas.
