Overview
Where the CR400 ceramic on-metal UHF tag fits
The CR400 is for metal items too small to carry a bar-type on-metal tag: hand tools, fittings, small machined parts and components. Its ceramic body keeps the tag readable when it sits directly on a metal surface, where paper and PET UHF labels detune and stop responding. At 10 × 5 × 3 mm it needs only a small flat patch on the part.
Fixed reader or handheld: two read ranges
The tag is rated up to 2.0 m on metal with a fixed reader and up to 1.0 m with a handheld. Plan around that difference: a fixed antenna at a tool-crib counter or along a conveyor can pick parts up at a distance, while handheld audits work best when the operator passes close to each shelf or drawer. Actual distance depends on reader power, antenna and the surface the tag is fixed to.
Memory you can write to
The Alien Higgs-3 chip carries a 96-bit EPC, a 64-bit TID and 512 bits of user memory, so a short part number or inspection date can be kept on the tag as well as in your software. It is rated for 100,000 write cycles and 50 years of data retention.
Fitting tips
- Degrease the metal and press the adhesive backing down fully; an air gap under the tag costs range.
- Encode the tags before fitting them to small parts.
- Test samples on your own parts and reader before a full rollout.
