IDTS-9020 UHF On-Metal PCB RFID Tag, 90 x 20 mm Screw-Mount Anti-Metal Tag for Racks, Cylinders & Machinery

The IDTS-9020 from IDentium is a screw-mount anti-metal UHF RFID tag built on a black PCB body, shaped as a 90 x 20 mm rectangular bar with two mounting holes. It is made to be read while fixed directly to a metal surface, giving Indian warehouses, plants, workshops and utilities a bolt-down identity for equipment and containers that ordinary paper or film labels cannot serve.

Applications

• Industrial gas cylinder fleets - the 90 mm bar bolts to a metal collar, guard or bracket so filled and empty cylinders can be identified during filling, dispatch and return cycles.
• Warehouse racking and bin locations - screw one tag per bay or beam to give each metal pallet-rack location a fixed, scannable address for putaway and picking.
• IT asset audits - server racks, network cabinets, UPS enclosures and switchgear frames, where an annual physical audit is done with a UHF handheld instead of line-of-sight barcode scanning.
• Tool cribs and returnable tooling - dies, jigs, fixtures, trolleys and heavy hand tools that leave and re-enter the crib and need a permanently fastened identity.
• Plant and machinery maintenance rounds - motors, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and machine frames tagged for preventive-maintenance checklists and breakdown history.
• Utility and power distribution assets - distribution panels, meter boxes, transformer housings and cable trays that field teams verify during inspection rounds.
• Railway and heavy-engineering workshops - wagon sub-assemblies, permanent-way equipment, jigs and shop-floor fixtures moving between bays.

Why Choose This Tag

• Built to work on metal, not despite it. The IDTS-9020 is an anti-metal design and is rated at approx. 8 m on metal - the reading figure applies with the tag mounted on a metal surface, which is exactly how it will be used.
• Screwed down, not stuck on. Two 4 mm holes spaced 84 mm apart let the tag be fastened with fixings you already stock, holding it in a fixed, repeatable position for handheld and portal scanning across the asset's life.
• Serialisation plus a factory-unique ID. 128-bit EPC memory carries your own asset or location numbering scheme, while the 96-bit TID gives every tag a distinct identifier for verification in your WMS, EAM or audit software.
• Wide operating temperature band. Specified from -20 C to +150 C, covering cold-store aisles through to hot areas around machinery and process equipment.
• Standards-based and reader-agnostic. ISO18000-6C means the tag works with the UHF handhelds, fixed readers and antennas commonly deployed in India, with no proprietary middleware needed.

Read distance is stated as approx. 8 m on metal and is a typical figure, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance varies with the reader and its output power, the antenna type and orientation, the mounting surface and the surrounding environment. We recommend a site trial for critical deployments.
