The application provides the electronic label inspection device to check whether a chip of an electronic label can be read normally, thereby implementing electronic label chip inspection.

A process for automatically correcting defects and non-compliances in self-adhesive labels or the like on a continuous band, comprising the steps of: advancing the continuous band (10) so as to expose the self-adhesive labels to inspection means (12); if these inspection means (12) detect a non-compliance in at least one self-adhesive label, imparting a bend to the continuous band (10) as to cause detachment of the defective label from said main continuous band (10); replacing this defective label with a replacement label (11); and rewinding the continuous band (10) in a direction opposite to the direction of travel until the replacement label (11) is upstream of the inspection means (12).

An RFID tag manufacturing system is provided that includes a conveyance device that conveys a base sheet provided with a plurality of antenna patterns to each of which an RFIC module is fixed. The system includes a laminating device that attaches a cover seal on the base sheet to cover the antenna patterns and a punching device that produces RFID tags by punching the cover seal and the base sheet with a punching blade that includes a frame-shaped cutting edge surrounding the antenna patterns to form a frame-shaped cut. The base sheet includes alignment mark in a non-attachment part of the cover seal. The punching device specifies the position of each of the antenna patterns covered with the cover seal based on the alignment mark, and punches the cover seal and the base sheet based on the specified position of the antenna pattern.

A method and an arrangement for forming a label with an electrically conductive pattern (201), comprising the steps: providing a first roll (102) of a face material web (200); forming a conductive material (201) in a pattern corresponding to said electrically conductive pattern on a surface of the face material web; providing a second roll (106) of a backing material web (202); applying a layer of adhesive (204) on a surface of the backing material web; forming holes (205) in the backing material web, before or after said application of adhesive; bringing the backing material web and the face material web together, so that the conductive material and the adhesive are facing each other, between the face material web and the backing material web, and whereby the holes are arranged overlying dedicated contact areas formed in the electrically conductive pattern; laminating the face sheet material with the electrically conductive pattern and the backing sheet material with the adhesive together; and re-winding the laminated web on a third roll (113).

Systems and methods for processing RFID element or chip components allow for the use of relatively common and inexpensive vibratory feeder handling equipment that require a much lower capital cost than systems incorporating technology such as flip chipping or direct punching down approaches. Instead, vibratory feeders provide feed handling equipment for the RFID element or chip components, which are subsequently fed and combined with RFID antennas in forming RFID devices such as RFID tags. The RFID chips are formed on or of non-silicon substrates such as printed parts. These substrates are relatively flexible, of materials such as polymeric sheets or other plastics. A stream of the RFID components is presented at a transfer station to an ordered series of RFID antennas, with the RFID components and antennas being combined in forming RFID devices.

The invention relates to a transfer stack (TS) for transferring a portion of a foil within a perimeter (P) that includes a transducer (T) to an article (A) such as a medical device or a medical needle. The transfer stack includes a carrier substrate (CS), a foil (F) having a transducer (T) incorporated therein, and the transducer is laterally surrounded by a perimeter (P). The foil (F) is separable from the carrier substrate (CS) by overcoming a first peel retaining force (PRF1). An adhesive layer (AL) is also attached to the foil. The adhesive layer (AL) is configured to provide adhesion between the foil (F) and an article (A) such that when the article (A) is attached to the foil via the adhesive layer (AL) the foil (F) is separable from the surface of the article (A) by overcoming a second peel retaining force (PRF2). The second peel retaining force (PRF2) is greater than the first peel retaining force (PRF1).
