Passive RFID Tags on Metal are specially engineered for use on metallic surfaces, delivering reliable, battery-free identification where standard tags fail. Built with anti-metal shielding or ferrite substrates, these tags eliminate detuning caused by conductive materials—making them ideal for rugged, industrial, or high-metal environments.
Because they are passive, these tags require no internal power source, offering a low-maintenance and cost-efficient solution for large-scale asset tracking on or near metal.
Key Features:
Metal-Safe Design: Engineered with insulation or ferrite backing to maintain signal performance when mounted on steel, aluminum, or alloys.
UHF & HF Options: Available in UHF (860–960 MHz) for long-range scanning or HF/NFC (13.56 MHz) for secure, close-range applications.
100% Passive: No batteries required—powered by the reader’s radio waves, making them long-lasting and maintenance-free.
Rugged & Weather-Resistant: Withstands exposure to chemicals, water, dust, and vibration—suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Mounting Flexibility: Adhesive-backed, screw-mount, riveted, or magnetic versions for easy installation.
