IDTS-9525 UHF On-Metal RFID Tag - 95 x 25 x 4 mm PCB Anti-Metal Tag for Racks, Cylinders & Industrial Assets

The IDTS-9525 is a passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built as a black PCB bar measuring 95 x 25 x 4 mm, with a mounting hole at each end. It is made to sit directly on metal, where ordinary paper or PET label tags are not a practical choice, and it returns approx. 8 m on metal with standard ISO18000-6C readers. The two-hole bar format and the -20 C to +150 C operating temperature range make it a straightforward fit for permanently identifying metal assets across Indian warehouses, plants, utilities and workshops.

Applications

• Warehouse racking and bin locations: fix one tag per upright, beam or shelf bay so pickers and stock-audit teams can confirm location by reader instead of by eye.
• Gas cylinder and LPG asset tracking: the 95 mm bar suits the collar, foot ring or body plate of industrial and medical cylinders moving between filling plant, dealer and customer site.
• IT asset audits and server rooms: tag server chassis, network racks, UPS cabinets and switchgear enclosures for faster annual fixed-asset verification.
• Tool cribs, dies, moulds and fixtures: identify heavy metal tooling, jigs and press dies issued and returned across shifts.
• Utilities and electrical infrastructure: distribution boards, transformer bodies, meter panels and cable drums that need a permanently fastened identifier for maintenance rounds.
• Manufacturing WIP on metal carriers: trolleys, pallets cages, skids and paint-line or powder-coating fixtures that pass through elevated process temperatures within the tag's rated range.
• Railways and heavy engineering: depot equipment, metal containers, trackside cabinets and workshop machinery where a bolt-on bar tag is easier to maintain than an adhesive label.

Why Choose This Tag

• Built for metal, not adapted to it. The IDTS-9525 is an anti-metal design, so the metal surface it is mounted on is part of the intended use case rather than a problem to work around, and it reads at approx. 8 m on metal.
• Wide temperature window of -20 C to +150 C. That range covers cold-store aisles at one end and hot process areas such as paint and powder-coating lines at the other, so one part number can serve several plants.
• Two-hole bar format with defined geometry. Hole diameter 3.5 mm and 89 mm hole spacing across a 95 x 25 x 4 mm body means your maintenance team can pre-drill or plan brackets before the tags arrive, and every unit mounts the same way.
• Standards-based and reader-agnostic. ISO18000-6C on the global UHF global UHF band means the tag works with the fixed portals, handhelds and desktop readers already deployed in Indian facilities, with 128-bit EPC for your own numbering scheme and a 96-bit TID for unique factory identity.
• Sourced and quality-checked by India RFID Store. Supplied under the IDentium / IDTS house brand with local stock, GST invoicing and India-based technical support for pilot testing and volume rollouts.

Please note: the read range figure of approx. 8 m on metal is a typical result, not a guaranteed maximum. Actual performance varies with the reader and its output power, the antenna type and orientation, the size and shape of the metal surface the tag is mounted on, and the surrounding RF environment. We recommend a short on-site trial with your own reader and mounting surface before committing to a large deployment.
