IDTS-7020 UHF On-Metal RFID PCB Tag 70x20x3 mm, Screw-Mount Anti-Metal Asset Tag

The IDTS-7020 is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built on a rigid PCB body measuring 70 x 20 x 3 mm. Its slim rectangular bar shape with rounded corners carries a brass-grommet mounting hole at each end, so it bolts straight onto steel racking, cylinders, machinery and enclosures — the metal-rich surfaces where ordinary label tags simply stop responding. With an operating range that reaches +150 C and a stated read distance of approx. 6 m on metal, it is aimed at Indian warehouses, workshops, utilities and plant floors that need a permanently fixed, machine-readable identity on every metal asset.

Applications

• Industrial gas and LPG cylinder tracking — a 70 x 20 mm bar tag screws onto the collar or foot ring of a cylinder and stays with it through fill, dispatch and return cycles.
• Warehouse racking and location marking — bolt one tag per bay or beam on steel pallet racking so handheld readers can confirm put-away and pick locations in busy aisles.
• Tool crib, jig, die and mould tracking — the +150 C upper limit suits tooling that returns hot from presses, ovens and heat-treatment areas in manufacturing plants.
• IT asset audits — fix to server racks, switch enclosures, UPS cabinets and network panels for fast walk-past inventory counts in data centres and IT rooms.
• Utility and pipeline assets — identify transformers, meter boxes, valves, flanges and distribution panels that need a permanent screw-mounted ID rather than an adhesive label.
• Railway and rolling stock components — tag bogie parts, spare assemblies, containers of components and depot equipment where a rigid, fastened tag is preferred.
• Pharma and process equipment — mark stainless vessels, trolleys, pumps, motors and reactor skids for maintenance, calibration and audit traceability.

Why Choose This Tag

• Built for metal, not merely tolerant of it. The IDTS-7020 is an anti-metal design with a stated read distance of approx. 6 m on metal, so it performs where the asset actually lives — on steel, aluminium and enclosure panels.
• A genuinely high thermal ceiling. The -20 C to +150 C operating range covers assets that move between cold storage, ambient plant floors and hot process areas within the same facility.
• Permanent screw mounting, ready out of the box. Two brass-grommet holes of 4 mm diameter, one at each end and set 64 mm apart centre-to-centre, let you fasten the tag mechanically instead of relying on adhesive alone.
• Slim, rigid PCB bar format. At 70 x 20 x 3 mm with rounded corners, it presents a low profile on racking uprights, cylinder collars and equipment panels while remaining large enough to read reliably from an aisle.
• Standards-based and integration-ready. ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC, 96-bit TID and 32-bit user memory works with the UHF readers, gates and handhelds already deployed across Indian warehouses and plants.

Read range is a typical figure, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance varies with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, mounting surface and orientation, and the surrounding RF environment. We recommend a site trial on your own assets before large-scale rollout.
