PolyIC demonstrates interactive applications of printed electronics

PolyIC demonstrates coffee machine with contactless operation, thanks to printed radio chips, and an interactive marketing application.

 

Another example is the use of radio chips in the sector of brand protection which enable products to be checked for their authenticity. This is demonstrated by means of an intelligent wine label.

 

In addition, PolyIC has demonstrated globally unique printed radio-activated displays in which interactive quizzes are integrated. Games for the next generation look like this: inexpensively produced by a printer, the playing card interacts with the player via an activator. A similar application involves tickets with interactive displays.

PolyIC is a leading developer of polymer electronics technology and moreover a future supplier of printed electronic products and components. The two product lines are called PolyID® and PolyLogo®. The activities are focused on providing innovative low cost electronics for mass markets.

 

PolyIC focuses on its expertise in materials, new adapted chip design methods as well as mature mass production processes (roll-to-roll printing) for the development of this new technology and the goal of large-volume production.

 

The leading application for PolyIC is RFID (radio frequency identification). The wireless data transfer technology has the potential to be used in various electronics applications being thin, flexible, robust and low-cost.

 

PolyIC is a member of EPCglobal - an organization for standardizing the use of RFID in the industries as well as a founding member of the OE-A (Organic Electronics Association), a working group under the umbrella of the VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau). The OE-A promotes organic electronics internationally.

 

Furthermore, since 2008 PolyIC is a member of AIM-D e.V., an association for automatic identification and mobile data capture.

 

PolyIC GmbH & Co. KG was set up in November 2003 as a joint venture between Leonhard Kurz (51%, hot stamping and coating) and Siemens (49%, electronics) for the development and production of printed polymer electronics. In-between Erlangen and Nürnberg, PolyIC is headquartered in Franconian Fürth on the premises of Leonhard Kurz Stiftung & Co. KG.
