System and method of identifying products enclosed in electrostatic discharge protective packaging
First Claim
1. A system for identification of packaged products, the system comprising:
- a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag affixed to or associated with an object to be identified;
an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection package; and
an RFID interrogation device;
wherein the object is enclosed in the ESD protection package, and the RFID interrogation device transmits at a low radio frequency to the object, andwherein the ESD protection package is oriented such that a first side of an exterior of the ESD protection package is oriented proximal to an antenna of the RFID interrogation device, and a second side of the exterior of the ESD protection package, opposed to the first side of the ESD protection package, is subsequently oriented proximal to the antenna.

Abstract
A system and method of identifying objects packaged in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection packaging is disclosed. The system includes an ESD protection package and a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag is affixed to the object prior to being inserted into the ESD protection packaging. A RFID interrogation device having a transmitter, an antenna and a receiver is used to interrogate the RFID tag and output the identification data to a display or to a computer. The method includes affixing an RFID tag to an object prior to placement in the ESD protection packaging, providing a RFID interrogation device including an antenna in proximity to the packaged object, and reading the data stored by the RFID tag for identifying the object.

12. A method of identifying an object in an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection package, the method comprising:
-
providing a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag operable to store at least identification data associated with the object; attaching the RFID tag to or associating the RFID tag with the object; inserting the object into the ESD protection package; and orienting the ESD protection package such that a first side of an exterior of the ESD protection package is oriented proximal to an antenna of an RFID interrogation device, and a second side of the exterior of the ESD protection package, opposed to the first side of the ESD protection package, is subsequently oriented proximal to the antenna, wherein the RFID tag is responsive to low radio frequencies. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
