Ask HN: Applications for extreme low- and high temperature RFID tag?
Applications for extreme low- and high temperature RFID tag.
Are there (creative) people who want to think along with me for an application of a technological development? Are you working in an industry where extremely low or high temperatures (-190°C to 450°C) occur? Or do you just want to think along? Then I am looking for you!
We have developed an RFID tag that can withstand extreme temperatures (-190°C to 450°C), tags that are currently on the market can only handle temperatures from -20°C to 150°C. For the development of an application for our low- and high temperature tag I am looking for input through an online brainstorm / braindump. Through the following link you can enter your ideas in an online padlet (no registration necessary and completely anonymous).

More information about the RFID technology, the development that we’ve made, the purpose of the brainstorm and explanation about padlet can be found via the following link.

- mchannon 8y agoThis is probably best rephrased as an "Ask HN:". The -20C to 150C existing range is instructive- you don't need to hit both your extremes, merely occasionally deviate past those extremes. -20C for instance occurs throughout the world, so any outdoor vehicle or asset rental tag would benefit from a hardier version. If the RFID tag can employ a bit of logic (it's dipped below 140 C, or above -10 C and that's only when it emits, for example) then the world is replete with applications in the food service and manufacturing industries. Yup. Freezer alarm beacons are your bread and butter with this technology, but only if you can put some signal to them. I'd consider instead of touting your larger gamut of temperatures, developing technology to tune predictable failures (and perhaps permanent ones) at bespoke temperatures. It'd be very handy to scan a pallet of eggs and know that the -1.4C threshold had been crossed, with frost damage a likely result. Reach out to me directly if you want some US engineering support- know a startup in the food service industry that has a market for this kind of stuff.
- cm2012 8y agoBest HN comment I've seen in a while. Good detail here.
- tvanorsouw 8y agoThank you very much, this is something I can work with!
- 2_listerine_pls 8y agoAre we supposed to do your work for free?
- tvanorsouw 8y agoI'm not asking you to do my work for free or to deliver a complete business plan. I'm just asking for input in the form of ideas for a extreme low- and high temperature tags.
