Avery Dennison and NXP lead the industry in more sustainable RFID production
October 18 2016 - 09:00AM
Avery Dennison (NYSE:AVY), a global leader in RFID-enabled
solutions, and long-standing partner NXP Semiconductors N.V.
(NASDAQ:NXPI), are proud to announce a new industry first
innovation, providing 12-inch wafers for long range solutions in
addition to the current industry standard 8-inch. This solution
will deliver a significant increase in production capacity,
improved assembly quality and efficiency, and most importantly, a
reduction in manufacturing waste and electricity. Avery Dennison is
the first to provide inlays with NXP’s new 12-inch offering.
A larger wafer diameter allows more semiconductor devices to be
produced from a single wafer, doubling the amount of dies per wafer
compared to existing 8-inch wafer formats. This increased
utilization of existing materials simultaneously reduces both
chemical and packaging waste and energy consumption.
The innovation is another positive step in making the
manufacturing process more sustainable, while simultaneously
increasing production to meet future industry demand. “We worked
closely with NXP to create a solution that would truly offer a
higher production output and at the same time be more sustainable,”
said George Dyche, director, Global RFID Innovation and Product
Line Management, Avery Dennison RFID.
The chips can also be incorporated into Avery Dennison’s
SmartFaceTM Technology, which removes the plastic material in RFID
products and replaces it with a paper substrate to reduce
environmental impact. SmartFaceTM Technology has already been used
in a number of Avery Dennison RFID Inlays and the introduction of
the new wafer will reduce the environmental impact of RFID
solutions further. “Sustainability has long been part of our
approach to do business together. We are proud to work closely with
our partners across the entire value chain to address the
environmental and social impacts of our solutions,” added
Helen Sahi, senior director, Sustainability, Avery Dennison.
NXP is committed to the development of sustainable products,
materials and manufacturing processes for semiconductor
technologies, producing tiny microchips that can perform advanced
functions with extremely low power consumption.
“Bringing together both parties’ expertise, Avery Dennison and
NXP introduce this innovation for more sustainability in
semiconductor industry. Our collective responsibility drives us to
work collaboratively to address the environmental and social
impacts of our solution proactively, while the 12-inch wafers
significantly increases NXP’s supply capacity,” said Ralf
Kodritsch, segment manager RFID Solutions, NXP.
Businesses worldwide are recognizing the increasing value of
RAIN RFID in this area. By building on innovation and providing
technologies that directly address societal demands, exciting times
and opportunities for the RAIN RFID industry lie ahead.
