IDTS-8620 UHF On-Metal RFID Tag 86 x 20 x 12.8 mm ABS Anti-Metal Bar Tag for Cylinders, Racking & Plant Assets

The IDTS-8620 is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag in a moulded ABS bar housing measuring 86 x 20 x 12.8 mm. It is built for the everyday reality of Indian plants and stores, where almost everything worth tracking is made of steel: gas cylinders, racking uprights, tool trolleys, panels, motors and server racks. Two 4.2 mm mounting holes on a 76 mm pitch let you bolt or cable-tie it down, while the supplied red-liner foam adhesive backing gives you a stick-on option where drilling is not allowed.

Applications

• LPG, industrial and medical gas cylinder tracking - the 86 mm bar sits neatly along a cylinder collar or guard ring
• Warehouse racking, bin and location tagging, where a fixed metal beam needs a permanent readable address
• IT asset audits on server racks, switch cabinets, UPS units and network enclosures
• Tool crib and returnable tooling control - jigs, fixtures, dies and trolleys issued and returned against a scan
• Plant and machinery maintenance rounds in manufacturing, utilities and pharma, where the tag stays with the machine
• Metal pallets, cages, gas manifolds, valves and pipeline furniture in utilities and process plants
• Railway and depot asset registers covering steel bins, containers and workshop equipment

Why Choose This Tag

• Made to work on steel. This is an anti-metal construction rated at approx. 7 m on metal, so you get a usable aisle-level read from a handheld instead of the near-zero performance a plain label gives on a metal surface.
• Two ways to fit it. Two 4.2 mm holes on a 76 mm pitch for a bolted or tie-wrapped fix, and a red-liner foam adhesive backing supplied on the base for surfaces you cannot drill - one part number covers both site situations.
• Standards-based and integration-friendly. ISO18000-6C with a U9 chip, a 96-bit EPC bank for your own asset numbering and a 96-bit TID bank, so it drops into existing UHF readers and middleware.
• Sized for equipment, not paperwork. An 86 x 20 mm footprint at 12.8 mm thick is long enough to carry a printed asset number alongside the RFID, yet slim enough to sit on a rack upright or cylinder collar without fouling handling.
• Specified operating range of -20 C to +80 C, covering cold-store aisles through to warm shop-floor and yard conditions across Indian sites.

Read range is stated as approx. 7 m on metal and is a typical figure, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance varies with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, tag orientation, the size and shape of the metal surface it is mounted on, and RF conditions on site. We recommend a sample trial on your own assets before bulk deployment.
