ICODE SLI vs Tag-it HF-I Plus

Choose ICODE SLI if you need Electronic Article Surveillance functionality, require AFI and DSFID fields for application-specific filtering, or prioritize retail and library use cases with 112 bytes of user memory across 28 blocks. The ICODE SLI operates at 13.56 MHz using ISO/IEC 15693-2 and ISO/IEC 15693-3 protocols, offers block-level write protection with permanent locking, and includes a dedicated EAS bit for anti-theft systems common in retail environments. Its 64-bit unique UID ensures item-level identification, making it suitable for inventory management where moderate memory (1024 bits total with 896 bits user-accessible) is sufficient and retail security features are valued. Choose Tag-it HF-I Plus if you require larger user memory capacity of 256 bytes organized in 64 blocks of 32 bits each, need compliance with both ISO/IEC 15693 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 standards, or want more granular data organization with smaller block sizes. The Tag-it HF-I Plus provides 2048 bits of total EEPROM memory—more than double the ICODE SLI's user capacity—making it better for applications requiring detailed product data, extended tracking information, or multiple data sets per tag. It features individual block locking with both user and factory lock bits for flexible security implementation and shares the same 13.56 MHz frequency and 64-bit factory-locked UID. The dual ISO standard compliance (15693 and 18000-3) offers broader compatibility with different reader infrastructures in supply chain and asset tracking scenarios where EAS functionality is not required.
