IDTS-7025 UHF On-Metal RFID Tag 70x25x5 mm ABS Anti-Metal Asset Tag for Racks, Panels & Cylinders

The IDTS-7025 is a passive UHF on-metal RFID tag from IDentium, built for assets that defeat ordinary labels: steel racking, control panels, machine tools and cylinders. It is a white ABS bar measuring 70 x 25 x 5 mm with rounded corners and a mounting hole at each end, so it sits neatly along a rack upright, a cylinder collar or the edge of a metal enclosure. A built-in dual-folded antenna design handles the on-metal performance, giving a read of approx. 8 m on metal, and the underside carries a peel-off adhesive backing layer (double-sided tape) so the same tag can be screwed down or simply stuck on. Inside is an NXP UCODE 9 (U9XE) chip on the ISO18000-6C air interface, which means it works with the standard UHF handhelds and fixed readers already used across Indian warehouses, plants and utilities.

Applications

• IT asset audits: server racks, network switches, UPS units, metal cabinets and equipment trolleys, where the 70 x 25 mm bar fits a rack upright or a cabinet door without covering labels or vents
• Gas cylinder tracking: industrial and medical cylinder fleets, where the tag can be screwed to the collar or foot ring and read from a distance as cylinders move through filling and dispatch
• Tool cribs and workshops: metal tool boxes, jigs, fixtures, moulds, dies and calibration equipment issued and returned across shifts
• Warehouse infrastructure: racking bays, bin locations, metal cages, roll cages and trolleys, so a handheld can confirm location and stock in the same scan
• Utilities and electrical maintenance: distribution boards, control panels, transformers and meter enclosures on scheduled inspection rounds
• Manufacturing and pharma equipment: machine tools, stainless trolleys, returnable metal totes and process skids tracked through WIP and cleaning cycles
• Railways and infrastructure: depot equipment, metal fixtures and maintenance assets that need durable identification at arm's length or from a passing aisle scan

Why Choose This Tag

• Designed to work on metal, not despite it. The built-in dual-folded antenna design is what delivers approx. 8 m on metal, so the reading you get on a steel rack is the reading the tag was engineered for.
• Two ways to fit it, one part number. Two 4 mm holes at each end take screws for permanent fixing, while the peel-off adhesive backing on the underside lets your team stick it on where drilling is not an option.
• A 70 x 25 x 5 mm profile that fits real assets. Long enough to read well, slim enough at 5 mm to sit on panel doors, rack uprights and cylinder collars, in a moulded white ABS body that stays easy to spot on dark equipment.
• Standards-based and reader-agnostic. The NXP UCODE 9 (U9XE) chip runs ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC and 96-bit TID, so it drops into existing UHF handheld, portal and fixed-reader deployments and supports serialised EPC plus a factory TID for verification.
• Rated -20 C to +80 C. A working range that covers cold rooms, air-conditioned data halls and hot plant floors on the same SKU.

Read range is a typical figure, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance varies with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, orientation, surrounding metal and RF noise, and the surface the tag is mounted on. We recommend a sample trial on your own assets before a bulk rollout.

Frequently asked questions

Does the IDTS-7025 read on steel racking and panels?

Yes, the IDTS-7025 is an on-metal tag with a dual-folded antenna design and reads at approximately 8 m when mounted directly on metal. Ordinary paper and label tags detune on steel and stop reading, which is why racking, control panels, machine tools and cylinders need an anti-metal tag like this one.

Which chip does it use and is it reader compatible?

The IDTS-7025 uses an NXP UCODE 9 (U9XE) chip on the ISO18000-6C air interface, so it works with the standard UHF handhelds and fixed readers already installed across Indian warehouses, plants and utilities. It operates within the Indian 865 to 867 MHz licence-free band inside the global UHF allocation.

How do I fix the tag to an asset?

The IDTS-7025 has a mounting hole at each end for screws plus a peel-off double-sided adhesive backing, so the same tag can be bolted down or simply stuck on. The 70 x 25 x 5 mm white ABS bar with rounded corners sits neatly along a rack upright, a cylinder collar or an enclosure edge.

What does it cost and can I get custom encoding?

Pricing depends on the quantity and on any custom encoding or printing you need, so check the listed price or request a bulk quote. Identium is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer, so bulk and OEM pricing, tag encoding, printed numbering, evaluation samples and pan-India shipping are all available.
