UHF RFID Pallet Tag IDTS-8654 (86 × 54 mm, White ABS)

An 86 × 54 mm UHF RFID pallet tag for non-metal assets

The IDTS-8654 is a flat, credit-card-sized plate in white ABS, 5 mm thick, meant for pallets, crates and other plastic or wooden carriers. It is a standard UHF tag, not an anti-metal one: it reads well on plastic and wood, but should not be fixed flat on steel or directly against liquid-filled containers.

Fitting it to crates and pallets

Every tag comes ready for two fixing methods. The back carries pre-applied 3M 9448A double-coated tissue tape for quick stick-on commissioning on a flat crate wall or deck board. For a returnable pool that sees heavy daily handling, add screws or rivets through the four 3.3 mm corner holes (75 mm spacing). Fit the plate in the same position on every crate so fixed readers see it consistently.

Reading and encoding

With a U8 chip on ISO 18000-6C and a typical range of about 5 m, the plate suits handheld cycle counts along an aisle as well as fixed readers at dock doors. The 128-bit EPC bank leaves room for structured pallet or crate numbering, and the 96-bit TID gives each tag a unique factory ID. The −20 °C to +80 °C rating covers chilled stores and hot warehouse interiors alike.

Plastic crate or steel pallet?
