Thin Film Electronics ASA and Brady Corporation announced a strategic alliance to bring Thinfilm's printed electronic technology to Brady's identification product lines. Brady's initial work with Thinfilm is focusing on electronic timing labels for applications in visitor and healthcare identification and tracking. These timing labels will complement Brady's existing industry-leading products in these areas.

Under the terms of the commercial agreement, Brady has secured an exclusive license to Thinfilm's printed electronic timer system for select applications including visitor and healthcare identification. The companies anticipate this to be the first of multiple applications that will use timing and sensing devices to increase safety, security, productivity and performance.
