Definitions
- RFID radio frequency identification
- RFID chips have been put into RFID modules that can be tested before being attached to the antennas, but the assembly process conventionally involves multiple separate processes, such as testing of the modules in sheet form, cutting of the modules, and then hand picking the good modules from a sheet and applying them to a reel of antennas.
- an RFID tag assembling system includes an RFID module conveyor that moves a first substrate having multiple RFID modules, an RFID antenna conveyor that moves a second substrate having multiple RFID antennas with respect to and into alignment with the first substrate, and a joiner in proximity to the first substrate to separate the RFID modules, from the first substrate and attach the RFID modules to the RFID antennas on the second substrate.
- the substrates can be reel-form substrates, and RFID tags can be formed in parallel.
- the system can also include an RFID module tester, and the RFID modules can be tested in parallel.
- the systems and techniques described may result in reduced costs to manufacture RFID tags, reduced complexity in RFID tag assembly, and increased throughput.
- Equipment costs can be reduced and operational speed can be improved by using one processing direction (i.e., reel-form substrates for the RFID modules and antennas) rather than table motion in both the X and Y directions.
- RFID modules can be tested just prior to attachment to the antennas, assuring that only fully functional modules are utilized.
- RFID chips which can be multifunctional and programmable, can be stored in module form on reels, and different size RFID antennas can be stored on separate reels.
- RFID tags can be provided on demand while at the same time maintaining minimal inventory, because the RFID tags can be assembled rapidly from existing inventory on reels. Moreover, testing need not be done until just before the RFID modules are attached to the antennas, and the customer can be provided with a reel of RFID tags that includes no RFID tags that have failed the testing.

- FIG. 2 is a top view of a reel-form substrate having multiple RFID modules in proximity to a tester.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the reel-form substrate having multiple RFID modules in proximity to the tester.

- FIG. 6 is a top view of the reel-form substrate having the RFID antennas.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate RFID modules and antennas being aligned for joining in parallel.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate the aligning system of
- FIGS. 7 and 8 after a first set of modules have been attached to their respective antennas in parallel.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate the aligning system of
- FIGS. 7 and 8 when a bad module is not attached and a skipped antenna is filled.
- FIG. 13 is a flow chart illustrating a process of assembling RFID tags.
- FIG. 14 illustrates an example of reel-form substrates with side-by-side RFID modules and RFID antennas.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an RFID tag assembling system.
- the system can include an RFID module conveyor 100 that moves a substrate having multiple RFID modules.
- An RFID module can include a conductive pattern and an attached integrated circuit (IC) chip that can include a radio frequency (RF) interface, control logic, and a memory.
- IC integrated circuit
- the module can be connected (capacitive or ohmic) to a tuned antenna to form a tag.
- a single RFID module design can be used with multiple styles of tag antennas, and can be programmed for different RFID tag applications. Using the RFID module to attach the RFID chip to an antenna can reduce overall costs and lead to reduced inventory and increased production efficiencies.
- the RFID modules can be manufactured before the RFID antennas and stored for later use.
- the RFID module carrying substrate can be a reel-form substrate, and the conveyor can include a reel 110 on which the reel-form substrate is wound.
- the RFID modules need only be moved in one processing direction to be tested and attached to the RFID antennas (the one processing direction can include forward and backward motion in multiple actual directions in the three dimensional space of the tag assembling system) .
- the RFID tag assembling system can also include an RFID antenna conveyor 120 that moves a substrate having multiple RFID antennas.
- the RFID antenna conveyor can move the RFID antennas with respect to, and into alignment with, the RFID modules so that the RFID modules can be joined with the RFID antennas in an automated assembly process.
- This automated system that aligns RFID modules with antennas and subsequently joins the two to form RFID tags can significantly reduce RFID tag manufacturing costs, while at the same time providing significant flexibility in RFID tag design and inventory control.
- the automated RFID tag assembly system can be a completely mechanical system or can use data processing components as described below. In a fully mechanical system, different gages can be provided to set the system for the different pitch ratios between the RFID modules and the various RFID antennas that can be used.
- the RFID antenna carrying substrate can also be a reel-form substrate, and the RFID antenna conveyor can include a reel 130, on which the reel-form substrate is wound, and multiple redirecting members 140 (e.g., rollers or wheels).
- the system can include a joiner 150 that separates the RFID modules from the first substrate and attaches them to the RFID antennas on the second substrate.
- the joiner 150 can include a cutter, a placement arm, and/or an adhesive applier. Adhesives can be used to bond the separated modules to the antennas, or alternative bonding techniques can be used (e.g., ultrasonic bonding can be used to bond the two plastics together) .
- the joiner 150 can assemble RFID tags in parallel, as described further below.
- the joiner 150 can include an additional cutter such that an initial cut can be made to partially separate the RFID modules from each other, and a subsequent final cut can be made to fully separate the RFID modules from the substrate and the other modules. Such an initial cut can also be performed earlier in the system and not in the joiner 150.
- the cutters can employ roller (e.g., steel rolled), stamp, laser, or other cutting techniques.
- the system can further include a tester 160 that can be used to identify good RFID modules before attachment to the RFID antennas. The first cut can be applied to all the RFID modules, and the second cut can be applied only to the good RFID modules, leaving the bad ones attached to the substrate web for disposal.
- the RFID tag assembling system can also include a control system 170, which can be a data processing system (e.g., one or more programmable machines).
- the control system 170 can include a machine-readable medium 175 embodying information indicative of instructions that can be performed by the control system to result in operations.
- the medium 175 may be removable and may include a boot media having operating system (OS) instructions and data that are loaded into volatile memory when the system boots up.
- the medium 175 can be read-only or read/write media and can be magnetic-based (e.g., a hard disk), optical-based (e.g., a laser disk), semiconductor-based media (e.g., an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)), or a combination of these.
- OS operating system
- ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuit
- the control system 170 can be coupled with the conveyors, the tester, and the joiner, and the control system 170 can direct and receive information from all of these.
- the control system 170 can test the RFID modules using the tester 160 and only attach the good RFID modules to the RFID antennas.
- a bad RFID module 180 can be skipped and not attached to its corresponding antenna 190.
- FIG. 2 is a top view of a reel-form substrate 200 having multiple RFID modules 220 in proximity to a tester.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the reel-form substrate 200 having multiple RFID modules in proximity to the tester.
- Each RFID module 220 can include a conductive pattern 230 and a chip 240. Presenting the RFID modules 220 for test can be the initial step in the assembly process. The nature of the testing can be specific to the manufacturer and the planned RFID application, and multiple RFID modules can be tested in parallel in order to increase throughput.
- the tester can include test heads 250.
- the two test heads used for an RFID module can be essentially probes brought up underneath the conductive pattern 230 of the RFID module.
- the test heads 250 can be conductors that never actually contact the conductive pattern 230, but rather read/interact with the RFID modules through the substrate 200.
- the reel-form substrate 200 can be made of mylar (e.g., three millimeter PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film) and can include sprocket holes 210 for use by a conveyor.
- the test heads 250 can emulate the antennas to the RFID modules and fully test the functionality and read distance, and also program the chips without cross-module interference.
- the test heads 250 in a tester can accurately measure the read distance of the RFID tags to be made from the modules to within plus or minus 1%.
- Testing the RFID modules in parallel can be done by transmitting the bits to each module simultaneously in a synchronous fashion such as what can be readily adapted to binary search techniques, where all the modules under test are effectively transmitted to at the same time, and the modules respond without interfering with one another. This can significantly increase the rate of RFID modules testing in a system.
- FIG. 4 is a top view of a reel-form substrate 400 having multiple RFID modules 410 in proximity to a joiner.
- the joiner can include a sheering tool 420 and a vacuum head 430 used to separate the modules 410 from the substrate 400. Initial cuts 440 can also be made as described above.
- An adhesive 450 can be applied to an underside of the substrate 400 and used to bond the modules 410 to RFID antennas.
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the substrate 400 having the RFID modules 410 and a reel-form substrate 500 having RFID antennas in proximity to the joiner.
- An adhesive applier 510 e.g., a roller or a sprayer
- the joiner can also include a placement arm 520. Following the final cut, the placement arm 520 can push the separated module down against the antenna on the reel being fed underneath. The distance traversed in this placement of the module can be around 5 millimeters or less. The vacuum head 430 and sheering tool 420 can move downward cutting the module free and can proceed until the module is in contact with the antenna. A resultant tag 530 formed by combining the module and the antenna is then complete.
- FIG. 6 is a top view of the reel-form substrate 500 having the RFID antennas.
- An antenna conductive pattern 600 is an example of a bare RFID antenna before attachment of the RFID module. Many types of antenna conductive patterns can be used based on the various RFID applications.
- An RFID tag 650 shows the RFID module attached to the antenna. [0034] Using these systems and techniques, RFID tags can also be assembled in parallel. An assembly system can be designed to make multiple attachments of modules from the same reel of modules onto a single reel of antennas at substantially the same time, allowing hardware to be shared in the assembly system and potentially reducing total equipment costs. In the system of FIG.
- the joiner can include multiple joiner units, and the conveyors can be designed to simultaneously align RFID modules and antennas that are not on the same pitch within the multiple joiner units. Moreover, the conveyors can be adjustable to allow for different module to antenna pitch ratios.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate RFID modules 700, 710, 720 and antennas 760, 770, 780 being aligned for joining in parallel.
- FIG. 7 shows a top view
- FIG. 8 shows a side view, with arrows showing the one processing direction.
- the RFID modules can be tested and attached in groups, where each joiner handles its proportionate share of the group (e.g., a third of the group per joiner when there are three joiners) .
- the RFID modules can be handled in groups of twenty-one. Initially, modules #1 (720), #8 (710) and #15 (700) can be placed over corresponding antennas #1 (780) , #8 (770) and #15 (760) . If all three aligned modules have been identified as good modules, they can all be attached to the antennas in parallel. After attaching the modules, both the modules and the antennas can be advanced one position. Subsequently, modules #2 (750), #9 (740), and #16 (730) can be attached to their respective antennas. This can continue until modules #1 through #21 have been attached. FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate the aligning system of FIGS.
- Tags #1 (900), #8 (910) and #15 (920) have been formed.
- Modules #2 (750), #9 (740), and #16 (730) have been aligned over their respective antennas.
- the module need not be attached to the antenna and can remain intact on the module web. Thus, for any failed modules that are not placed, the associated antenna may have no module attached.
- a number of ways can be used to handle these skipped antennas (these antennas are referred to as skipped even though they may not in fact be skipped over in the processing, as described below) .
- One approach is to advance, or return, to one of the placement sites where the first good module on the reel of modules will be aligned over the appropriate antenna and attached. As an example, if module #10 (930) is bad, antenna #10 (940) can be positioned over position #1 and module #22 can be attached. Module #23 then becomes the next #1 in the subsequent set of attachments.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate the aligning system of FIGS. 7 and 8 when a bad module is not attached and a skipped antenna is filled. If module #12 (1200) was bad, module #13 (1210) can then be attached to antenna #12 (1220) .
- module #14 (1230) can be attached to antenna #13 (1240) .
- antenna #14 (1250) can receive module #22 (1260) .
- the next set of twenty-one modules and antennas can be positioned to start the sequence again. The entire process can then be repeated.
- more or less can be used instead of three joiner units. Additional joiners operating in parallel can increase throughput, although the overall complexity of the system likely increases as well. Failed modules can cause a decrease in throughput of the system, and the number of joiners and the size of the module batches can be adjusted based on expected failure rates. Typically, modules yields of at least 95% can be expected.
- FIG. 13 is a flow chart illustrating a process of assembling RFID tags.
- Information identifying which RFID modules on a first substrate are functional can be obtained at 1300.
- Obtaining the information identifying functional RFID modules can involve testing the RFID modules, as described above, reading indicators proximate to the modules (e.g., optically scanning for visual marks placed on or near bad modules in a prior testing process), or receiving the information from another source.
- Testing the modules can involve testing RFID modules on a first reel-form substrate, which can be done in parallel, to identify the RFID modules that are fully functional for a predetermined application.
- the RFID modules can be programmed for the predetermined application at 1310.
- RFID module to RFID antenna assignments can be selected at 1320 based on a pattern of bad RFID modules identified in the information.
- the locations of bad RFID modules can be expected to be random, and this can assist in the efficiency of the assignment of modules to antennas.
- a determination can be made as to the best way to handle skipped antennas. For example, with an expected module yield of 97%, two joiners can be used to place modules in batches of forty, resulting in an expectation of one to two bad modules per batch.
- the skipped antenna #3 can be filled with module #4 and so on, until the two bad modules cancel each other out, and modules #6 and #26 get placed on antennas #5 and #25, respectively, in parallel.
- antenna #17 can be skipped and later filled with module #41, making module #42 the new #1 in the following batch.
- the system can be built to allow a differential alignment between the modules and antennas for the multiple joiners.
- module #4 can be aligned and placed on antenna #3 simultaneously with module #23 being aligned and placed on antenna #23. This differential alignment can then go back to a normal alignment once modules #6 and #26 are reached.
- the identified good RFID modules can be aligned with RFID antennas on a second substrate at 1330. This can be done in parallel using reel-form substrates, as described. RFID tags can then be formed on the second substrate from the identified FRID modules of the first substrate and the RFID antennas at 1340. This can also be done in parallel using reel-form substrates. Moreover, the reel-form substrates can have RFID modules and RFID antennas side-by-side. [0045] FIG. 14 illustrates an example of reel-form substrates with side-by-side RFID modules and RFID antennas. A reel-form substrate 1400 has multiple RFID modules, three across. A corresponding reel-form substrate 1410 has multiple RFID antennas, three across, that line up with the RFID modules.
- Another corresponding reel-form substrate 1420 has different RFID antennas, three across, that line up with the RFID modules.
- Another way to assemble the RFID tags in parallel can be to widen the reel-form substrates and place more modules and antennas side-by-side on the substrates.
- Multiple side-by-side RFID modules can be attached to the antennas simultaneously, and when a bad RFID module is skipped, the corresponding antenna can have a subsequent RFID module in the same row of modules attached.
- the FRID module to RFID antenna assignments can be selected based on a pattern of bad RFID modules identified in the information.
- the reel-form substrates having RFID modules described herein can be manufactured using the systems and techniques described in U.S. Patent Application entitled, "CHIP ATTACHMENT IN AN RFID TAG", Application Serial No. 10/396,932, filed March 25, 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- This manufacturing of the RFID modules on the reel-form substrate can be done separately or in a system that combines the systems and techniques described herein with the systems and techniques described in the CHIP ATTACHMENT IN AN RFID TAG application.
- Various implementations of the systems and techniques described here may be realized in digital electronic circuitry, integrated circuitry, specially designed ASICs, computer hardware, firmware, software, and/or combinations thereof. These various implementations may include implementation in one or more programs that are executable and/or interpretable on a programmable system including at least one programmable processor, which may be special or general purpose, coupled to receive data and/or instructions from, and to transmit data and/or instructions to, a storage-memory, at least one input device, and at least one output device.
