TATWAH SMARTECH CO.LTD. is one of the largest producers of RFID
Hardware. It is a high tech company, serving worldwide markets on
all continents and through a large network of resellers, partners,
distributors and system providers. Products, made by TATWAH can be
found in a huge number of applications and finely dispersed all
over the world; either as MANGO branded data carriers or else as
OEM / ODM products, sold under famous other brands names. Such
products embrace but are not limited to Smartcards, RFID Tags and
Labels, Readers and Application system solutions.
Located in Guangdong Province, Zhongshan City, Xiaolan Town, TATWAH
is a major employer. With its long standing, experienced key staff,
it has -since 1987- accumulated substantial know-how in technology,
materials, processes and of course RFID application specific
knowledge. TATWAH stands for competent advice in product selection,
fast turnaround times, flexibility and customer service during all
stages of contract fulfillment. Well trained and qualified people
are the major trump of TATWAH and the logical reason for an equally
long-standing, loyal domestic and international customer base.
TATWAHs concern for the environment is another priority, where the
company has actively worked to reduce emissions and waste. Careful
substitution of polluting materials and innovative design of
processes remain an area of constant attention. Investment in
health and safety equipment for the personnel and the creation of
environmental awareness complement the companys drive for a
cleaner, safer and better world.
The factory, with a production surface of 33000 square meters has
produced and delivered hundreds of millions of cards and tags and
it is hence evident to classify TATWAH as a key actor within the
RFID industry. Production capacity for data carriers has been
demonstrated as being in excess of 1 million cards and tags per
day. Facilities are recent, of excellent design and purpose built
for true mass production.
Investment in automated processes for components like modules,
large scale lamination plant, flip chip line and advanced
personalization equipment warrant constant quality levels. With
virtually all processes under one roof, TATWAH controls all steps
in the making of high quality, state-of-the-art products. TATWAHs
large independence from subcontractors and suppliers is fairly
unique in the RFID industry. It also is one of the reasons for
TATWAHs moderate pricings.
R&D activities are another strategic priority of TATWAH: The
company holds 1 invention patent, 28 utility models rights, 43
design patents and has published more than 200 articles in relevant
national and international trade magazines.
TATWAH host the Transport Smart Labels Application Research
Centreof NDRC and the Guangdong RFID (tag and smart card package)
Engineering and Technical Research and Development Center which
work on applications like public transport, asset Management and
other application related aspects.
Research work is also progressing on purely technological subjects:
Whilst entertaining close relations with most all major
semiconductor suppliers, TATWAH R&D have co-developed
supplemental chips, known under the designation TK and hence, the
Company offers a large range of data carrier functionalities.
Yet other R&D activities include process related innovation and
work was crowned when commissions of 4 state ministries declared
the results to be National New Key Productin 2007 already.
Finally, research also extends to new materials with ever
increasing performances, more stringent application requirements
but of course also with a focus on cost. The observed gap between
low costmarket demands coupled with the request for perfection is
widening and construes a true challenge as data carriers are on the
verge of becoming commodity.
