RFID Hardware for Logistics and Supply Chain Tracking
Shipment tracking with RFID depends on a label on every carton or pallet and a reader wherever goods change hands: the dispatch dock, each hub along the route and the point of delivery. This page brings together the UHF labels, pallet tags, fixed readers, antennas and handhelds in our catalogue that suit 3PL operators, parcel networks and manufacturers shipping to distributors.
Passive UHF labels in the 865–868 MHz band are read many at a time and do not need to face the reader, so a pallet can be checked as it moves through a dock door. Temperature sensor labels add condition data for chilled goods. The tracking platform that joins every read into one shipment timeline is on IdentiumOne.
How it works
- 1
Label at origin
Print and encode a UHF label for every carton and fix a rugged tag to each pallet or returnable crate before dispatch. An industrial printer-encoder handles carton labels in one pass.
- 2
Read at every dock
A 4-port fixed reader with circular antennas on both sides of each dock door logs cartons and pallets as they are loaded or received.
- 3
Check on the move
Handheld readers confirm counts at smaller depots, during audits and at the consignee, where the scan doubles as proof of delivery.
- 4
Watch condition
For chilled or sensitive goods, UHF sensor labels are read at dock checkpoints along the route, and NFC logger labels are downloaded at handover to see the temperature history.
Hardware you need
Carton labels
The ID-1470 H10 label (14 × 70 mm, up to 8 m in open air) fits carton faces and can be supplied with GS1 SGTIN-96 encoding on request. The ID-4444-U8 logistics label, rated up to 6 m depending on reader and setting, suits parcels and totes.
- UHF RFID Logistics Label ID-1470 H10 (14 × 70 mm)₹7 + GST
- UHF RFID Logistics Label ID-4444-U8₹7 + GST
Pallet and crate tags
The IDTS-UPT pallet tag has a rated read range of 12 m at 2 W ERP and a tough ABS/PC housing. The UST60 strip tag, ordered in its UHF version so the dock readers can see it, is designed for returnable plastic crates.
- UHF RFID Pallet Tag IDTS-UPT (128 × 19 mm)₹45 + GST
- Crate tag UHF₹30 + GST
Dock door reader
The IHZ4 4-port reader (Impinj E710, adjustable up to 33 dBm) pairs with UHF 9 dBi circular antennas, each rated up to 25 m with an Identium 4-port reader.
- UHF IHZ-4 RFID Multi Port Reader | Impinj E710₹55,000 + GST
- UHF 9DBI RFID Circular Antenna₹8,000 + GST
Audits and proof of delivery
The CX1500N Android UHF handheld reads at 0–25 m for depot counts, cycle checks and delivery confirmation.
- Uhf Handheld Rfid Reader CX1500N₹58,000 + GST
Label printing
At the goods-out line, the 4-inch (104 mm) iX4R handles high-volume carton runs, printing each label and writing its RFID chip together at up to 14 ips.
- Industrial UHF RFID Printer and Encoder iX4R (4-Inch)₹2,25,000 + GST
Cold chain sensing
The ID-SE-AS3213T is a passive UHF label with a built-in temperature sensor and no battery, read by the same UHF readers at each dock. The ID-SE-FM13DT160 is a 13.56 MHz NFC label that logs temperature; its data is downloaded with an NFC-capable phone or HF reader, not the UHF dock readers.
- Identium ID-SE-AS3213T UHF Passive RFID Temperature Sensor Label 94×20mm₹45 + GST
- Identium ID-SE-FM13DT160 RFID NFC Temperature Sensor Logger 77×44mm₹45 + GST
The software
The supply chain platform turns each dock and handheld read into a timeline for the shipment: when it left the origin, which hubs it passed and when it was received. Short or extra cartons show up at the dock where the handover happens, handheld scans become delivery proof, and sensor readings flag temperature excursions. Tracking data can be passed to a transport management system or ERP. IdentiumOne has the full description and a demo.
RFID logistics and supply chain tracking software on IdentiumOneWhy teams use it
- Cartons are counted as a pallet passes the door, without scanning each barcode.
- Every handover point leaves a time-stamped record.
- Shortages are spotted at the dock where they occur.
- Rugged pallet and crate tags are reused across many trips.
- Temperature labels add condition data to the same shipment record.

Frequently asked questions
How many antennas does a dock door need?
A common layout is one circular antenna on each side of the door, connected to a 4-port reader, which leaves two ports for a second door or an overhead antenna. Wide doors or fast forklift traffic may need more, so send us the door size and traffic pattern for a suggested layout.
Which label should we use on cartons?
For corrugated cartons, a printable inlay label such as the ID-1470 H10 is the usual choice. If cartons hold liquids or metal cans, test a sample first, because the contents affect read range.
Can the labels carry GS1 codes?
Yes. The ID-1470 H10 can be supplied with GS1 SGTIN-96 or custom EPC encoding on request, or you can encode labels yourself on an RFID printer such as the iX4R.
Is the tracking software part of the hardware order?
No. The store sells the labels, readers and printers. The shipment tracking software, its TMS and ERP connections and a demo are on IdentiumOne.
