IDTS-8020 UHF On-Metal RFID Tag 80x20x3mm PCB Anti-Metal Bar Tag for Cylinders, Racks & Machinery

The IDTS-8020 is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built on a PCB substrate in a slim black rectangular bar format measuring 80 x 20 x 3 mm. It is a cover-plate style on-metal tag with two mounting holes, one at each end, spaced 74 mm apart, each 4 mm in diameter, so it bolts or rivets directly onto the metal asset it identifies. Running an Impinj Monza R6-P chip on the ISO18000-6C air interface, it delivers a read distance of approx. 6 m on metal, making it a practical choice for Indian warehouses, plants, utilities and asset-audit teams that need a fixed, screw-down identity on steel.

Applications

• Industrial gas cylinder tracking - the 80 mm bar footprint fits comfortably along a cylinder collar or neck ring, with two end holes for a permanent bolted fix through refill and return cycles.
• Plant and machinery asset registers - identify motors, pumps, gearboxes, compressors and control panels on the shop floor where the tag body sits flat on a steel housing.
• Tool cribs, dies and moulds - screw-mount identification for larger hand tools, jigs, fixtures, die blocks and mould bases issued and returned across shifts.
• IT asset audits - tag server racks, switch chassis, UPS cabinets and network enclosures for annual physical verification without opening or powering down equipment.
• Utility and electrical infrastructure - distribution transformers, LT/HT panels, meter boxes, switchgear cubicles and substation equipment inventories.
• Railway and rolling stock maintenance - identify wagon components, bogie assemblies, track-side steel cabinets and depot equipment on scheduled inspection rounds.
• Pharma and manufacturing utilities - stainless vessels, valves, flanges, pipe spools and cleanroom equipment where an in-place, mechanically fastened identity is preferred over a label.

Why Choose This Tag

• Built for metal, not merely tolerant of it - the anti-metal PCB construction is intended for mounting directly on metal surfaces and returns a read distance of approx. 6 m on metal, so aisle-side and gate-side reads stay realistic in day-to-day scanning.
• Bolt it on and forget it - two 4 mm holes at a 74 mm spacing, one at each end of the 80 mm bar, give a fixed two-point mechanical mount for assets that get handled, transported and cleaned.
• Wide thermal window - a rated -20 C to +150 C operating temperature covers cold-store racking at one end and hot machinery housings, motors and process lines at the other.
• Standards-based and encodable - the Impinj Monza R6-P chip on ISO18000-6C works with mainstream UHF readers, and the 128-bit EPC, 96-bit TID and 32-bit user memory support serialised asset numbering with a factory-set TID for verification.
• Low-profile bar format - at just 3 mm thick and 20 mm wide, the black cover-plate style body adds minimal bulk to the surface it is fastened to.

Read range figures are typical values obtained on a metal surface and will vary in practice with the reader and its output power, the antenna used, the mounting surface and orientation, and the surrounding RF environment. We recommend a site trial with your own reader setup before large-scale rollout.
