Product Information
RFID at Tag Level
Rugged RFID tags can be designed for all applications that see extreme temperature changes during the life of the product. Rugged Tags by Automated Assembly Corporation (AAC) have been thermal shocked from -55°C to 125°C with only a 10 second transition from hot to cold, for 2,000 cycles without failure. In comparison, the standard shelf tags will start failing in as little as 5 thermal shock cycles. Rugged tags can be manufactured on a number of flexible materials. Rugged tags are ideal for outdoor applications. Rugged tag graphics have excellent ultra violet resistance for longevity outdoors. Rugged tags can also endure rollers in the packaging arena. Rugged tags have a greater read constancy, reliability of a good read for the life of the tag. From Alaskan winters to Arizona summers, rugged tags by AAC are designed to meet the requirements.
All assemblies manufactured to J-STD 001-D Class 1, 2, or 3, and inspected to IPC 610 Class 1, 2, or 3. AAC works with customers from concept to production. We enjoy technical challenges in manufacturing and push new frontiers of manufacturing. We specialize in flex circuit assembly reel-to-reel manufacturing for automotive, medical, military, and RFID applications and products. Lean manufacturing is always at the top of our list throughout our process. We are always working for our customers' best interests in quality, on-time delivery, and full manufacturing needs. Automated Assembly is ready to work with you.
Company Overview
CEO and founder Scott Lindblad created Automated Assembly Corporation in 1991. Automated Assembly's new manufacturing facility in 2007 is 25,000 square feet with expansion plans in hand for 2009. Our new facility has ESD (electrostatic discharge) certified conductive flooring throughout the manufacturing plant. Automated Assembly Corporation received its ISO certification in 2000 and is currently ISO 9001-2000 certified. All assemblies manufactured to J-STD 001-D Class 1, 2, or 3 and inspected to IPC-A-610 Class 1, 2, or 3.

Currently, Automated Assembly Corporation has developed two aggressive rugged RFID production lines, and two lines waiting in the shadows for the production floor. All four lines are engineered to an automated robotic process. Each line has the capability to produce high volume rugged RFID tags. Our digital printing has the capability to produce high quality variable data graphics.
The rugged RFID tags produced at Automated Assembly have a solder interconnect, thus creating durability far beyond the glued RFID tag out in the market today. This soldered interconnect developed by Automated Assembly in the early 90's has set us apart from the everyday disposable tag. Rugged RFID tags have been tested thermally with varying the temperatures from -55°C to 125°C having 10-second transition. After 2,000 hours of cycling, the rugged RFID tags had full read capability. With this capability in a RFID tag, our own imagination is the only thing stopping our capabilities with RFID technology.
Automated Assembly will help to develop and manufacture rugged RFID tags to fit every application where reliability is the target. Automated Assembly currently has over 50 million actively working rugged RFID tags around the world.
