It produces a range of RFID tags designed to operate in all environments, including on metal and liquids.

One of the problems the research unit studied was the difficulty reading radio frequency identification (RFID) tags placed close to metals and liquids.

[4] With a working RFID tag that overcame those difficulties, the design was commercialized by launching a new company, Omni-ID, in March 2007.

An additional US$15 million in Series C funding was provided to Omni-ID by Cody Gate Ventures in February 2009.
