Frequently asked questions
What is the read range of the Identium ID-UM6406 on-metal RFID label?
The ID-UM6406 on-metal UHF RFID label is rated for up to 8 metres, depending on reader power, antenna and environment. It is built on a UCODE 8 chip operating at 860-960 MHz, which includes the 865-867 MHz UHF RFID band that WPC has notified as licence-free in India.
Is this narrow RFID label suitable for tagging metal tools and rails?
Yes, the ID-UM6406 is a 64 × 6 × 1 mm on-metal UHF RFID label whose narrow strip shape suits slim metal surfaces such as tools, racks, rails and equipment edges. Standard labels do not read on metal, so this on-metal construction is what makes such placements possible.
What is the price of a narrow on-metal UHF RFID label in India?
Pricing for on-metal UHF RFID labels in India depends on quantity, printing and encoding, so please check the listed price or request a bulk quotation. India RFID Store is a BIS and WPC certified Indian RFID manufacturer and offers bulk, OEM and sample supply with pan-India shipping.
Can the ID-UM6406 be printed and used with standard RFID printers?
Yes, the ID-UM6406 is a flexible printable on-metal RFID label that works with standard UHF RFID printers and readers used in India. It can be printed with asset numbers or barcodes and supplied pre-encoded in bulk for warehouse, manufacturing and IT asset projects.
