IDTS-6220 UHF On-Metal RFID Tag 62x20x6mm PCB & Epoxy Bar Tag for Cylinders, Tools & Plant Assets

The IDTS-6220 is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built as a rounded-end rectangular bar measuring 62 x 20 x 6 mm, with two mounting holes for permanent mechanical fixing. It pairs a PCB inlay potted in epoxy resin with a metal alloy body, so it can be bolted straight onto machinery, cylinders, racks and other metal assets that ordinary label tags cannot handle. With an operating range of -40 C to +200 C and an NXP UCODE 8 chip on ISO18000-6C, it is a practical workhorse tag for Indian warehouses, plants, utilities and maintenance teams that need a fixed, machine-readable identity on steel.

Applications

• Industrial gas cylinder tracking: the 62 mm bar format sits neatly along a cylinder neck ring or collar, giving each cylinder a permanent identity for filling, testing and customer-return cycles.
• Tool cribs and die/mould tracking: suits larger hand tools, jigs, fixtures, dies and moulds where the tag can be bolted to a flat metal face and issued or returned by an RFID reader instead of a register.
• IT asset audits: fixes to server racks, switches, UPS cabinets and metal chassis so annual data-centre and office IT audits can be swept by handheld reader rather than counted by hand.
• Utility and electrical asset management: transformers, switchgear cabinets, valves, cable trays and meter enclosures in distribution yards and substations.
• Manufacturing plant and machinery maintenance: identifies machines, motors, pumps and fixtures for preventive-maintenance rounds, including hot process areas within the tag's -40 C to +200 C range.
• Railways and depot equipment: tagging rolling-stock sub-assemblies, depot jigs, trolleys and track-maintenance equipment that live their whole life on metal.
• Returnable metal containers and cages: stillages, bins, trolleys and metal pallets moving between plant, warehouse and vendor in busy distribution operations.

Why Choose This Tag

• Built to be read on metal. This is an anti-metal design intended for direct mounting on metal assets, delivering approx. 3 m read distance depending on reader/writer performance - the exact situation where a standard paper or PET label tag simply will not respond.
• A genuinely wide thermal window. The rated -40 C to +200 C operating range covers cold-chain yards through to hot process areas of a plant, so one part number can serve very different corners of the same site.
• Rugged construction, not a sticker. The PCB inlay is potted in epoxy resin inside a metal alloy + PCB + epoxy resin body, giving a solid bar that stands up to the handling of an industrial floor.
• Bolt-down mounting that stays put. Two 4.5 mm holes on a fixed 48 mm pitch let you fasten the tag mechanically to the asset, which matters for high-value items where a tag must not be removed or swapped.
• Standards-based and ready to serialise. An NXP UCODE 8 chip on ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC and 96-bit TID memory works with the standard UHF handhelds and fixed readers already used across Indian warehouses and plants, and the TID gives every tag a unique factory identity.

Please note: the read distance quoted is a typical figure, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance in your facility will vary with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, tag orientation, the metal surface the tag is mounted on and the surrounding RF environment. We recommend a short on-site trial before large-scale rollout.
