The MicroButton packs 4K or 8K bytes of memory into a package smaller in diameter than the eraser on a #2 pencil. Measuring just 7.56 mm (0.298 inches) in diameter by 2.11 mm (0.083 inches) high and weighing approximately 0.17 grams (0.006 ounces) the MicroButton is the perfect marking technology when your application requires a small footprint (e.g. electronic circuit boards or calibrated tools).

ButtonMemory technology is a family of rugged, battery free, read/write identification devices designed to support universal automatic identification applications on components and equipment. When attached to equipment and related components a memory button functions as an electronic log book (portable data base) to advance configuration management, maintenance record keeping, asset tracking, and other logistical support functions through out the item’s life cycle. 

The technology has completed successful testing using rigorous military standards, including: temperature extremes, radiation, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic pulse (EMP), shock, vibration, solvents and saltwater.

MacSema also manufactures a variety of handheld Button readers. ButtonMemory systems are designed to take full advantage of off the shelf software allowing integration with industry standard hardware platforms. Password protection and data encryption are designed into the system. Performance can be tailored to specific applications. Data is retained indefinitely.
