RFID OSD012-U8 Tag

The ID-D012-U8 is a high-performance UHF RFID inlay engineered for inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain visibility applications. Built on the UHF chip platform, it delivers reliable read ranges of up to 6 m in demanding real-world environments.

Key Features:

• Compact form factor
• UHF chip — optimised for long-range performance and fast inventory cycles
• Frequency: 860–960 MHz (global UHF RFID standard)
• Read range: up to 6 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-D012-U8 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 RFID OSD012-U8 Tag

The RFID OSD012-U8 Tag (model ID-D012-U8) pairs an NXP UCODE 8 chip with a compact inlay body aimed squarely at small-item and asset tracking. Buyers usually come to it after trying to fit a full-size label onto a component bin, a tool handle, a sample vial or a boxed accessory and running out of room. This one fits, and still reports read ranges of up to 6 m depending on antenna and environment. The substrate is flexible and thin enough for both flat and curved surface application, the materials are RoHS-compliant for high-volume industrial deployment, and because it speaks EPC Gen2 it drops into an existing reader estate with no new hardware.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Electronics assembly lines identifying component reels and kitting bins
• Hospital instrument trays and consumable packs held in ward stores
• Tool crib issue and return in automotive and engineering workshops
• Document folders and case files circulating in banks and government offices
• Watches, belts and leather goods tagged at individual piece level

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Peel and place the ID-D012-U8 on a clean non-metallic face, working out air pockets so the antenna lies flat. On plastic bins and trays, choose the outer wall that points at the reader rather than an inner surface. On folders, sit the inlay close to the spine so a stack of paper does not shield it. Program the EPC on a printer-encoder or desktop encoder before deployment, and adopt a GS1 SGTIN-96 scheme wherever the goods are destined for organised retail. Where steel is unavoidable, raise the inlay on a spacer and re-test with the handheld you actually plan to use.

Why buy from Identium

Identium is a BIS and WPC certified RFID maker that has operated from New Delhi since 2010, and every ID-D012-U8 is produced domestically. The antenna is trimmed for the 865-868 MHz allocation used here and remains fully usable on ETSI 865-868 MHz infrastructure overseas. OEM volumes, factory-encoded EPCs and trial quantities are all available on request. Compare it against the rest of our UHF RFID tags, and follow the GS1 SGTIN-96 EPC encoding guide if you supply tagged goods to a retail chain.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the RFID OSD012-U8 tag cost in India?

The cost of the ID-D012-U8 UHF RFID tag in India is decided by order quantity and any custom encoding, so use the price shown on this page or request a bulk quote. Identium manufactures RFID inlays in India and offers OEM pricing along with samples before volume orders.

Which RFID frequency does the ID-D012-U8 tag use in India?

The ID-D012-U8 works on the UHF range of 860 to 960 MHz, and in India it operates on the 865 to 868 MHz band approved by WPC. Unlike HF tags at 13.56 MHz or LF tags at 125 kHz, this UHF tag is meant for longer range bulk reading.

What is the read range of the OSD012-U8 UHF RFID tag?

The ID-D012-U8 UHF RFID tag gives a read range of up to 6 metres depending on the antenna and environment. That range suits warehouse dock doors, store inventory counts and asset audits in India, where several tags need to be read in one pass rather than one at a time.

What applications is the ID-D012-U8 RFID inlay used for?

The ID-D012-U8 UHF RFID inlay is used for inventory management, asset tracking and supply chain visibility across warehouses, retail, manufacturing and field operations. Its flexible thin substrate suits flat and curved surfaces, and it works with any standard UHF RFID reader or RFID label printer.
