Industrial RFID tags
Our industrial RFID tags are designed for reliable identification and asset tracking in demanding environments where standard RFID labels or key fobs are not suitable. Available with LF (125 kHz), HF/NFC (13.56 MHz) and UHF technologies, these rugged transponders support applications including asset management, manufacturing, oil & gas, laundry systems, forestry, logistics and on-metal identification. Many models can also be customised to meet specific OEM requirements.
Industrial RFID Tags for Harsh and Demanding Environments
Industrial RFID applications often require far more than a standard RFID label or card. Metal surfaces, extreme temperatures, vibration, moisture, chemicals and limited installation space can significantly reduce the performance of conventional RFID products.
Our range of Industrial RFID Tags has been developed specifically for these challenging environments. From rugged on-metal transponders and drill pipe tags to laundry tags, cylinder tags and miniature embedded RFID solutions, each product is designed to provide reliable, battery-free identification throughout the asset's service life.
RFID Solutions for Industrial Applications
Industrial RFID technology helps organisations automate asset identification, maintenance, inspection and inventory processes while reducing manual data entry and human error.
Typical applications include:
- Industrial asset management
- Manufacturing and production
- Oil & gas equipment
- Tool tracking
- Returnable transport items
- Gas cylinder identification
- Laundry and textile management
- Forestry and timber tracking
- Warehouse logistics
- Infrastructure maintenance
Every application presents different environmental challenges, making the correct tag selection critical for long-term reliability.
LF, HF/NFC and UHF RFID Technologies
Our industrial RFID tags are available across all major RFID frequency ranges.
LF (125 kHz / 134.2 kHz) tags provide dependable short-range identification and perform well around water, wood and biological materials. They are commonly used for forestry, animal identification and industrial applications requiring close-range reading.
HF / NFC (13.56 MHz) tags support secure identification, product authentication, embedded electronics and NFC-enabled applications. Miniature HF tags are particularly suitable where installation space is extremely limited.
UHF RFID provides longer read distances and fast identification of multiple assets simultaneously, making it the preferred choice for industrial asset tracking, logistics, warehouse management and equipment identification.
Selecting the appropriate frequency at the start of a project helps maximise read performance while simplifying system integration.
Engineered for Challenging Environments
Unlike general-purpose RFID products, industrial tags are engineered for specific operating conditions.
Our product range includes solutions designed for:
- Metal surfaces
- Cylindrical objects
- Embedded installation
- Repeated industrial washing
- Outdoor environments
- Heavy machinery
- Oil & gas equipment
- Timber and forestry applications
Each design optimises antenna performance, mechanical strength and installation method to achieve reliable operation under demanding conditions.
Rugged Construction and Reliable Performance
Industrial RFID tags must withstand harsh operating conditions without compromising read reliability.
Depending on the application, housings may be manufactured from high-performance engineering plastics, epoxy compounds or other durable materials selected for resistance to moisture, chemicals, impact, vibration and UV exposure.
On-metal tags incorporate specialised antenna designs that minimise the detuning effects normally caused by metallic surfaces, helping maintain consistent UHF performance where conventional RFID labels would fail.
Custom Industrial RFID Solutions
While our standard product range covers many industrial applications, some projects require bespoke RFID solutions.
We can support OEM customers with:
- Custom dimensions
- Alternative RFID chips
- LF, HF or UHF technologies
- Antenna optimisation
- Pre-programmed memory
- UID or EPC encoding
- Laser marking
- Company branding
- Application-specific mechanical designs
Our engineering team works closely with customers to recommend the most appropriate RFID solution based on environmental conditions, mounting method, required read distance and production volume.
Compatible with Leading RFID Platforms
Our industrial RFID tags are available with a wide range of industry-standard RFID ICs from leading manufacturers including NXP, EM Microelectronic, Impinj, STMicroelectronics and others.
Depending on the product, tags may support standards including:
- ISO/IEC 14443
- ISO/IEC 15693
- EPC Class 1 Gen 2
- ISO/IEC 18000-6C
This ensures compatibility with a broad range of industrial RFID readers, handheld terminals and OEM reader modules.
