A seal assembly for a container includes a locking assembly and a gateway. The locking assembly includes a body and an elongated cable. The elongated cable extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end is restrained by the body. The distal end is movable from an unlocked position spaced from the body to a locked position restrained by the body. The gateway is configured for selectively interlocking with the locking assembly. The gateway includes a power supply, a radio communication device, a sensor, and a processor electrically coupled therewith. The processor is configured to operate the radio communication device to transmit a first signal upon detection by the sensor of interlocking of the gateway with the locking assembly, and to transmit a second signal upon detection by the sensor that the elongated cable has been cut. Locking assemblies, gateways, devices and methods are also provided.

Systems and methods of using ultrasonic welding to form labels with RFID tags are disclosed. The methods can be useful for the production of a large volume of labels such as production with roll-to-roll processing. The labels can be useful for consumer products such as garments. The present invention discloses in one embodiment, a label having a first and second printed fabric label layer such that a radio frequency identification (RFID) inlay is disposed between the two printed fabric layers.

An improved method for molding a plastic container within a mold including an RFID tag to generate a container which leaves a mold having an RFID tag bonded between the container and a label. This method provides for an improved integrally, extrusion blow molded container, label and RFID tag combination.

An RFID security tape having: a layer of tamper-evident tape; a layer of an RFID inlay; a blocking layer; a layer of metal foil having an adhesive bottom surface; and a layer of a release liner, wherein all layers of the RFID security tape are in adhesive connection with each other and wherein the layer of the RFID inlay is configured to be damaged when the RFID security tape has been applied to an asset and the layer of tamper-evident tape is subsequently removed from the asset.

The present invention relates to a self-locking security seal of the type mostly used within the scope of transporting goods, for the secure closure of containers or the like.

A packaging system or tag is provided for at least one article or item, which employs a multilayer laminate structure that includes an encapsulated transformative material that is disposed between first and second conductive layers. The transformative material is configured to undergo a state change (for example, by a chemical reaction or physical change) that changes impedance between the first and second conductive layers in response to an intrusion or perforation through at least part of the multilayer laminate structure. Furthermore, one of the first and second conductive layers can be configured (for example, by printing or etching) to provide an RF antenna and a first electrode of the at least one integrated galvanic cell. The other of the first and second conductive layers can provide a second electrode of the at least one integrated galvanic cell. The at least one integrated galvanic cell is further provided by encapsulated electrolyte material and ion bridge disposed between the first and second conductive layers. At least one NFC/RFID integrated circuit is mechanically secured to the multilayer laminate structure (for example, in space between the first and second conductive layers) and electrically coupled to the coil antenna, the at least one galvanic cell, and other parts of the first and second conductive layers of the multilayer laminate structure. The galvanic cell can also be made to have long shelf life.

A server apparatus is provided that includes: at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a first obtaining unit configured to obtain identification information about a product from a terminal apparatus; a determining unit configured to determine whether the obtained identification information is included in genuine product information including identification information about a genuine product; a second obtaining unit configured to obtain, from the terminal apparatus, personal information from which a user of the terminal apparatus is identifiable; an anonymizing unit configured to anonymize the obtained personal information; and a registering unit configured to register the obtained identification information, a determination result output as a result of the determination, and the anonymized personal information in a storage unit so that the determination result and the anonymized personal information are associated with the obtained identification information.

An RFID label includes: a substrate; a dipole antenna formed of a metal foil so as to have a predetermined antenna length and a predetermined antenna width, the dipole antenna being arranged on a surface of the substrate; an IC chip connected to the dipole antenna; and a separator temporarily adhered to an adhesive agent overlaid on the surface of the substrate on which the dipole antenna is arranged, wherein a tear off line cuts through the substrate and the dipole antenna, in at least a part of the dipole antenna, so as to extend along an antenna length direction and so as to be superimposed with the part of the dipole antenna.
