IDTS-6020-LED UHF On-Metal RFID PCB Tag 60x20mm with LED Read Indicator for Asset Tracking

The IDTS-6020-LED is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built on a PCB substrate, shaped as a 60 x 20 mm rectangular bar with rounded corners and two mounting holes for screw fixing. What sets it apart from an ordinary metal-mount tag is the on-tag LED indicator: when the tag is interrogated, the LED lights up, so the person on the floor gets a visual confirmation at the asset itself instead of having to look back at a handheld screen. For tool cribs, rack audits and shop-floor verification work in Indian facilities, that single visual cue removes a lot of guesswork.

Key Specifications

• Mounting method: screw fixing through the two mounting holes
• Material: PCB
• Substrate class: PCB
• Shape: rectangular bar with rounded corners and two mounting holes
• Colour: white / pale blue PCB with a black centre component
• On-metal performance: yes, designed to be mounted directly on metal assets

Applications

• Tool cribs and workshop tooling - screw-fix the 60 x 20 mm bar to metal tool bodies, jigs and fixtures, and let the LED confirm you have singled out the right item from a crowded rack.
• IT asset audits - switches, patch panels, UPS units, server rails and rack frames, where the LED helps pinpoint one device in a dense row during a physical audit.
• Manufacturing machinery and moulds - permanent identification of machine sub-assemblies, dies and fixtures that live on the shop floor.
• Electrical panels, switchgear and utility cabinets - a screw-mounted metal-surface tag for distribution boards, meter enclosures and substation assets.
• Railway and rolling-stock maintenance - identification of workshop equipment and metal components handled during scheduled maintenance rounds.
• Pharma and process plant equipment - stainless trolleys, vessels, frames and change parts that need a rugged, screw-fixed identity rather than a label.
• Guided picking and verification tasks - the LED gives an at-the-asset visual confirmation, which suits busy warehouse aisles and multi-shift operations where operators cannot keep watching a reader screen.

Why Choose This Tag

• Visual confirmation, not just a beep on the reader. The KX2005X-BL chip drives an on-tag LED whose lit state is visible from approx. 2 m, so the operator sees which physical asset responded.
• Made for metal assets. It is an anti-metal construction with an approx. 5 m read range on metal, so it goes straight onto racks, machines and panels that would otherwise detune a standard label.
• Permanent screw fixing. Two 4 mm holes at a 54 mm centre-to-centre pitch let you bolt the tag down for the life of the asset - useful where a stick-on tag would be removed or lost.
• Wide operating temperature window. Rated for -20 C to +150 C operation, covering cold stores through to hot shop-floor environments.
• Generous memory for Indian asset registers. 96-240 bit EPC, 96-bit TID and a large 1312-bit user memory allow you to carry plant codes, service dates or department data on the tag itself, over standard ISO18000-6C readers.

Read range and LED visibility figures are typical values and will vary with the reader, antenna, transmit power, mounting surface and the surrounding environment. We recommend a site trial with your own reader setup before large-scale rollout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of the LED on this tag?

When the tag is interrogated the on-tag LED lights up, so your team gets confirmation at the asset itself instead of glancing back at a handheld screen. During tool crib issues, rack audits and shop-floor verification that single cue removes the guesswork about which item the reader actually captured.

Can the IDTS-6020-LED go straight onto metal?

Yes. It is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) tag, so it is designed to keep reading while fixed to a metal surface. A standard paper or film label put on metal is detuned and reads poorly or not at all, which is why an anti-metal PCB tag is the right choice for steel equipment.

How is the tag mounted?

The 60 x 20 mm rectangular bar has rounded corners and two mounting holes, so it screws or rivets down permanently on racks, panels, frames and machinery. Mechanical fixing keeps the tag with the asset for its service life, which matters where adhesive would be exposed to washdown, oil or rough handling.
