🔹 Encasement – Protects the RFID components from damage and environmental conditions.
🔹 Face – The printable surface used for branding, product information, barcodes, and more.
🔹 Chip – Stores the unique identifier that enables item-level visibility and tracking.
🔹 Antenna – Receives and transmits RF signals, allowing the tag to communicate with RFID readers.
🔹 Substrate – The material that supports the RFID inlay and helps maintain durability.
🔹 Adhesive – Secures the label to the product for reliable performance throughout its lifecycle.

Every layer plays a role in delivering accurate reads, better inventory visibility, and improved operational efficiency.

At CONTROLTEK USA we believe innovation starts with how we think.

That’s why members of our Executive Leadership Team recently participated in a strategy workshop with Roger L. Martin, one of the leading voices behind integrative thinking and modern strategy.

The experience reinforced many of the same principles we brought to retailers during our Design Thinking Workshop at NRF Protect—challenging assumptions, exploring possibilities, and solving complex problems through collaboration.

Whether we’re helping customers tackle their toughest challenges or shaping the future of our own business, we know that better thinking leads to better outcomes.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the EssilorLuxottica Deploys B.E.C.K.I., an AI-Driven Tool session at NRF PROTECT.

EssilorLuxottica used the CONTROLTEK USA Design Thinking methodology to look at their challenges differently, and less than a year later had a deployed solution that helped their field service team. B.E.C.K.I. is an AI-powered chatbot that enables teams to access operational intelligence and provides a single source of truth for handling in-store challenges.

If you are interested in hosting a Design Thinking session with your team, we’d love to continue the conversation and explore how this methodology can help solve your organization’s unique challenges.
