IDTS-6015 UHF On-Metal RFID PCB Tag 60x15x4 mm Screw-Mount Anti-Metal Tag for Machinery & Tools

The IDTS-6015 is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built on a PCB substrate, shaped as a slim white rectangular bar measuring 60 x 15 x 4 mm. It carries mounting holes at both ends plus a hole at the centre, so it is fixed with screws rather than stuck down — a practical choice for Indian plants, workshops and utility sites where assets are metal, handling is rough and a tag has to stay exactly where the audit team expects to find it. Working to ISO18000-6C with an operating range of -20 C to +150 C, it reads at approx. 6 m on metal.

Applications

• Plant and machinery asset registers — motors, pumps, gearboxes, compressors and machine frames where a 60 mm bar can be screwed onto a flat metal face.
• Moulds, dies, jigs and fixtures — tooling that cycles through hot processes and needs an identity that survives the shop-floor routine, within the stated -20 C to +150 C range.
• Electrical panels, switchgear and utility field equipment — distribution boards, feeder pillars, transformer enclosures and metering cabinets on scheduled inspection rounds.
• IT asset audits — server racks, rack rails, switch and UPS chassis, where annual physical verification is faster with a handheld reader than with a clipboard.
• Tool crib and calibration control — larger hand tools, torque wrenches, gauges and test instruments issued and returned across shifts.
• Railway and rolling-stock components — depot and workshop tracking of metal sub-assemblies where a mechanically screwed fixing is preferred to adhesive.
• Returnable metal handling equipment — trolleys, cages, stillages, racks and valve or pipe-support brackets moving between plant, warehouse and vendor.

Why Choose This Tag

• Designed for metal, not merely tolerant of it. This is an anti-metal construction: mounted on a metal surface it reads at approx. 6 m, so aisle-level and doorway scans stay practical instead of forcing operators to touch every asset.
• Mechanically fixed, with a repeatable drilling pattern. Two 4 mm end holes at 54 mm centre-to-centre, plus a centre hole, mean the same jig or template works across an entire fleet of assets — and the tag is screwed down rather than relying on a bond.
• A wide -20 C to +150 C operating range. That covers cold-store and outdoor Indian ambient conditions at one end and hot tooling, ovens and process areas at the other.
• ISO18000-6C with a 96-bit TID. The factory-programmed TID gives every unit a unique, non-rewritable identity alongside the 128-bit EPC you encode for your own numbering scheme. Note that this variant has no USER memory, so plan on EPC-based data models.
• Compact 60 x 15 x 4 mm white PCB bar. Narrow enough to sit on a machine rib, panel door edge or rack rail without fouling covers, and light in colour so a printed or laser-marked asset number stays easy to read during manual checks.

Read range is a typical figure, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance varies with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, antenna orientation, the mounting surface and surrounding metal or RF conditions. We recommend a site trial with your own reader before committing to a large rollout.

Frequently asked questions

What read range does the IDTS-6015 offer on metal?

It reads at approximately 6 m while mounted on metal, working to the ISO18000-6C air interface. That distance suits Indian plants, workshops and utility sites where operators need to capture machinery and tooling from a walkway rather than up close. Actual range varies with reader power, antenna and the surrounding metalwork.

Is it screwed on or stuck on?

It is screwed on. The slim white bar measures 60 x 15 x 4 mm and carries mounting holes at both ends plus a hole at the centre, so it is fixed mechanically rather than with adhesive. That matters where assets are metal, handling is rough and a tag has to stay exactly where the audit team expects it.

Can it handle hot plant environments?

Yes. The IDTS-6015 has an operating range of -20 C to +150 C, so it can stay fitted to machinery, tooling and equipment that runs hot. The rigid PCB body and screw fixing mean the tag also resists vibration and rough handling, which is a common failure point for label tags in Indian workshops and depots.

What is the price and can I order in bulk?

Pricing depends on order quantity, so please check the price listed on this page or send us your volume for a bulk quote. Identium is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer, so bulk and OEM pricing, custom encoding of asset numbers, trial samples and pan India shipping are all available.
