UHF 6040 Qstar

The ID-6040 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay engineered for inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain visibility applications. Built on the Qstar chip platform, it delivers reliable read ranges of up to 7 m in demanding real-world environments.

Key Features:

• Compact form factor
• Qstar chip — optimised for long-range performance and fast inventory cycles
• Frequency: 860–960 MHz (global UHF RFID standard)
• Read range: up to 7 metres (depending on antenna and environment)
• Flexible, thin substrate suitable for flat and curved surface application
• RoHS-compliant materials; suitable for high-volume industrial deployment

The ID-6040 is compatible with all standard UHF RFID readers and printers. Ideal for warehouse logistics, retail, manufacturing, and field asset management where high-throughput scanning and durability matter.

About the UHF 6040 Qstar

When the requirement is distance rather than a discreet footprint, the UHF 6040 Qstar (model ID-6040) is the large-format inlay to reach for. Identium builds it in India on the Qstar chip platform for long-range inventory and asset tracking across warehouses and retail, and the bigger antenna is what lets this 6040 Qstar UHF label deliver read ranges of up to 7 m depending on antenna and environment. Portal readers pick up pallets and cases from further back, and a handheld can clear a rack from the middle of the aisle. The flexible thin substrate still applies to flat and curved surfaces, and RoHS-compliant materials suit high-volume industrial deployment.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Pallet and case labels read at dock-door portals
• Returnable totes and crates cycling between plants and vendors
• Bulk bags and sacks stored in agri, seed and cement warehouses
• Large retail cartons moving from back store to shop floor
• Rental equipment and event infrastructure passing through a gate

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Give this inlay the surface area it was designed for: a broad, flat, non-metallic face such as the side wall of a carton, tote or bulk bag, with the long axis parallel to the portal antennas. Encode on a printer that accepts the larger label pitch, or program in bulk on a desktop reader before the labels reach the applicator. At a busy dock the main risk is cross-lane capture, where a passing pallet in the next bay lands on the wrong receipt, so set power and antenna aim per lane and check with two loads moving at once. Keep the label off steel and away from water-heavy contents, or carry it on a plastic tag.

Why buy from Identium

Identium manufactures the ID-6040 domestically, building it for the 865-868 MHz band while keeping ETSI 865-868 MHz compatibility, so an Indian warehouse and its overseas consignee read the same label without anyone re-tagging a pallet. OEM runs, pre-encoding and samples for a portal trial are available.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the UHF 6040 Qstar RFID inlay cost in India?

The cost of the ID-6040 Qstar UHF RFID inlay in India depends on quantity, so refer to the price listed on this page or ask for a bulk quotation. As an Indian RFID manufacturer, India RFID Store offers OEM pricing, evaluation samples and pan-India shipping on UHF inlays.

Is the UHF 6040 inlay suitable for the Indian RFID frequency band?

The ID-6040 UHF inlay operates over 860 to 960 MHz, which covers the 865 to 868 MHz band notified by WPC for RFID use in India. That band is licence free within the notified power limits, and the inlay is supplied by Identium, a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer.

What is the read range of the ID-6040 Qstar UHF tag?

The ID-6040 UHF RFID inlay reads at up to 7 metres because it uses the Qstar chip platform built for long range reading and fast inventory cycles. The distance achieved in practice depends on the reader antenna, transmit power and the surface the inlay is mounted on.

Can I order the UHF 6040 inlay in bulk for a large deployment?

Yes, the ID-6040 UHF RFID inlay is supplied in bulk for high volume industrial deployment, with RoHS compliant materials and OEM options. India RFID Store ships pan-India and can pre-encode or custom print the inlays so they arrive ready for your asset tracking rollout.
