Industry trend|Doubling the Reading Range of Anti-Metal RFID Tags! This Company's Latest Launch

2024-12-18

Double the reading range of anti-metal RFID tags! The company's latest launch, Metalcraft, has recently launched a series of enhanced metal universal tags for industrial environments such as manufacturing sites, yards and ports. These tags have not only almost doubled in quantity, but also in terms of functionality and performance. Significant improvements have been made, bringing more efficient and reliable solutions to the tracking and management of industrial assets.

 

One of the biggest highlights of the new version of the metal universal label is its introduction of a color protective printed cover. This innovative design not only enhances the visual appeal of the label, but more importantly ensures that the label can last ten years or more both visually and digitally. High performance over long periods of time. This is undoubtedly an extremely practical feature for companies that need to track and manage metal assets over the long term.

In terms of the application of RFID technology, Metalcraft's metal tags also show excellent performance. The tags provide passive UHF RFID traceability across wide plant areas, enabling automatic detection as long as the reader and tag are kept within 20 feet. This feature makes it easier and more efficient to read tagged metal objects with a handheld reader in narrow entrances or stockyards.

 

However, Metalcraft didn’t stop there, knowing that in some applications a 20-foot read range might not be enough. As a result, the company introduced the Long Range Universal Tag, a new tag with a read range of an astonishing 55 feet on metal surfaces, twice the range of the previous generation universal RFID asset tag. This breakthrough improvement enables efficient and accurate asset identification in challenging scenarios such as wide door reading and cage tag reading in stacked containers.

 

In addition to a significant increase in read range, Metalcraft's remote universal tags feature a colorfast printing option, ensuring tags and assets retain their true color for up to ten years, regardless of weather conditions. This design undoubtedly further enhances the durability and practicality of the label.

 

Metalcraft manufactures industrial-grade identification products and has been providing reliable solutions for asset management in harsh environments since its introduction of ID nameplate solutions in 1950. After entering the 21st century, the company introduced RFID technology into its product portfolio, injecting new vitality into the tracking and management of industrial assets.

 

The introduction of remote universal tags not only solves many challenges of RFID application in industrial environments, but also opens up new possibilities for the application of RFID technology in more fields. For example, remote universal tags can play an important role in scenarios such as oil and gas or refinery stockyards, as well as intermodal container shipping. By attaching tags to metal objects, these objects can be automatically identified, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of asset management.

 

In addition, Metalcraft has introduced an overlay product that provides up to ten years of print fading protection for labels such as long-range reversals. This is undoubtedly an extremely practical choice for those scenarios where labels need to be kept bright and clear for a long time.
