IGT - Intelligent Gasket Tagging by Lamons

Description

The Lamons IGT will be using UHF (Ultra High Frequency) technology, to enable users to read tags from a distance of 25 feet (860-960 MHz) using a handheld RFID reader, which is an advantage in a refinery environment. Tags will also be able to be read using QR readers from smart phones. Lamons will be writing useful information to assist with product trouble shooting, product re-ordering, and product verification installed in your flanged application.

Written IGT product information will vary depending on the Lamons product being purchased. Review the product offering below and the standard information that will be written/programmed to the tags.
