RFID UHF Metal Tag - Encore

Identium UHF RFID Metal Tags are specialized RFID tags designed to work effectively when attached to metal surfaces, which typically interfere with standard RFID tag performance.

A UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID metal tag is engineered to operate on or near metal surfaces without performance degradation. Regular RFID tags perform poorly on metal because the metal reflects radio waves, detuning the tag. Metal tags overcome this with specific materials and design.

Identium UHF Metal Tag - Encore is a high performance tag with read range upto 20m built with a small form factor of only 65x26x12mmIt is an ideal choice for Asset tracking, Waste Bin Management, Tool Tracking�� Key Features:

• Frequency Range: 860–960 MHz (UHF)

• Read Range: Up to 10 meters or more (depending on tag and reader)

• Durability: Often rugged, waterproof, and heat-resistant

• Attachment Methods: Screws, rivets, adhesives, or magnets

• Mounting Surface: Optimized for metal surfaces

• Memory: Varies; typically includes EPC and user memory

�� Common Applications:

• Asset Tracking (tools, machinery, IT equipment)

• Industrial Equipment Monitoring

• Vehicle Identification

• Oil & Gas and Utility Sectors

• Inventory and Supply Chain Management

Frequently asked questions

Does this UHF RFID tag work on metal surfaces?

Yes. The Identium Encore is a UHF RFID metal tag engineered to work on or near metal, where standard paper and label tags fail because metal reflects radio waves and detunes the tag. It suits asset tracking, tool tracking and waste bin management in India.

What is the read range of this UHF RFID metal tag?

The Encore UHF RFID metal tag gives a read range of up to 20 metres with a suitable fixed reader, depending on the reader, antenna and environment. It operates across 860-960 MHz, which covers India's WPC-approved 865-867 MHz UHF RFID band.

How is the Encore metal tag fixed to an asset?

The Encore UHF metal tag mounts with screws or rivets and measures only 65 x 26 x 12 mm, so it fits on tools, equipment frames and bins without getting in the way. The housing is rugged, waterproof and heat resistant for outdoor and industrial use.

Can I get on-metal RFID tags with custom encoding in bulk?

Yes. India RFID Store supplies on-metal UHF RFID tags in bulk with custom encoding and numbering, plus samples for testing on your own assets. Pricing depends on quantity, so check the listed price or request bulk and OEM pricing with pan-India shipping.
