Claim 5:
6. A method for forming a system for charging all batteries of electronic labels or tags and communicating with an application processor of the electronic labels or tags, comprising the steps of:
forming at least one carrier tape;
forming at least two conductive rails;
adhesively mounting the at least two conductive rails at opposite edges of the at least one carrier tape with a portion hanging over the opposite edges;
piercing a plurality of holes in the carrier tape through the at least two conductive rails at intervals;
forming substrates for electronic labels or tags;
mounting electronic components upon the substrate to assemble the electronic labels or tags;
adhesively mounting the electronic labels or tags on the carrier tape;
placing the at least one carrier tape with the mounted at least two conductive rails and the electronic labels or tags in or on a transport apparatus;
providing a transport apparatus for holding the carrier tape with the mounted at least one conductive rail and the electronic labels or tags;
connecting the transport apparatus to a communication/charging station through connectors affixed to the transport apparatus for communicating with an application processor of the electronic labels or tags and for charging the batteries through a power management integrated circuit of the electronic labels or tags.
