Over the last few years the cost declines of RFID technology, especially the UHF RFID products with EPC Gen 2 specification, combined with improvements in sensitivity, range and durability, have enabled widespread RFID use in the logistical planning and operation of supply chain processes in the manufacturing, distribution and retail industries, and helped move its adoption into services such as security and access control, tracking, and monitoring/management.

At the stage Wal-Mart announced its RFID trial in 2003, the average cost per passive RFID Tag is around 50 cents. It expects the average cost to fall down to 25 cents with its high-volume shipment, and the mandate and associated ripples will quickly drive costs down towards the five cent per tag range. This cost reduction will have enormous implications in terms of expansion of RFID into new applications and markets. However, today many RFID users still cannot find the return on investment (ROI) on RFID technology due to the cost of RFID Tag is still high, and the whole RFID industry is still waiting to boom.

A passive RFID tag consists of a microchip and an antenna, often in the form of a tiny ribbon that can in turn be packaged into many forms such as a label or ticket which is so called RFID Tag. The manufacture of RFID Tag includes three processes, including Antenna production process, Flip Chip Die bonding production process, and Tag converting process. The overall Tag cost includes the RFID Chip, RFID antenna and other cost including bonding cost & converting cost, the cost for each parts is around 1/3. Beside Chip cost, there are still 2/3 of the total Tag cost can be reduced by new production process which all Tag manufacturers are focusing on.

To reduce the cost of RFID Tag, Favite started to develop the new RFID production process and technology from 2007, and it has successfully developed the Additive Antenna Production Process patent to cut down antenna cost dramatically. In addition, it has integrated it AOI technology to increase production yield to reduce the overall production cost further.

Regarding the technical issues of application, Favite has setup a RFID product design team to develop the antenna to meet different requirements such the Antenna for various RFID chips, Antenna for Carton/ Plastic/Wood/Beverage/Metal application and etc. In addition, Favite can adjust the antenna impedance to meet different RF frequency span. For Tag performance such as Read Range or Read/Write speed, Favite also offer testing environment and tools for verify the product performance.

To meet the RFID application needs, especially in the RFID Tag cost down issue and technical issue in application, Favite has put efforts in the following fields:
	Additive Antenna Production Process Development
	Quality and Yield Increase Plan
	Antenna Pattern Development
	RFID Inlay/Tag Application Environment Test
	Product Quality & Lifetime Test
