Find the Right RFID Tag for Your Application
Selecting the right industrial RFID tag is critical for reliable asset tracking. Unlike standard RFID tags, industrial RFID tags must withstand harsh environments such as metal surfaces, high temperatures, chemicals, and outdoor exposure. This guide explains the key factors to consider and recommends suitable RFID tags for common industrial applications.
Metal Equipment Typical Challenge
Attaching an RFID tag directly to metal can interfere with RFID communication and significantly reduce reading performance when conventional RFID tags are used. Industrial equipment, machinery, tools, containers, and other metal assets therefore require RFID tags specifically designed for on-metal applications.
Why Our Tags?
Our industrial on-metal RFID tags are designed to maintain reliable RFID performance when mounted directly on metal surfaces. Different tag constructions and form factors are available for applications with different space, durability, and read-range requirements.

Temporary/easy installation
Reference:
Cost-effective; adhesive-backed design for easy installation
Outdoor Assets Typical Challenge
Outdoor RFID tags may be exposed to rain, moisture, dust, sunlight, temperature changes, and physical impact over long periods of time. The tag must remain readable and securely attached while withstanding the conditions of the asset’s operating environment.
Why Our Tags?
Our industrial RFID tags include durable constructions for demanding outdoor asset-tracking applications. Depending on the model, selected tags are available for applications requiring enhanced environmental protection, mechanical durability, or longer read ranges.

High Temperature Environments Typical Challenge
RFID tags used in high-temperature environments must maintain reliable identification performance while withstanding elevated temperatures and, in some applications, repeated heating and cooling cycles. Conventional RFID labels may not be suitable for these conditions.
Why Our Tags?
Our high-temperature RFID tags are available in different constructions for demanding industrial applications. Selected models are designed for different temperature ranges, allowing you to choose a tag based on the maximum temperature your application requires.

Performs well on both on-metal & non-metal surfaces
Flexible installation
Chemical Environments Typical Challenge
RFID tags used in chemical and industrial environments may be exposed to aggressive chemicals, liquids, cleaning processes, and high temperatures. These conditions can damage conventional tag materials and affect long-term durability and identification performance.
Why Our Tags?
Our PEEK On-Metal RFID Tag is designed for harsh industrial environments where both chemical resistance and reliable identification on metal surfaces are required. PEEK provides strong resistance to a broad range of chemicals and liquids, while the rugged on-metal construction is designed for demanding industrial use.
PEEK On-Metal RFID Tag
- Chemical resistance: pH 0–14*
- High-temperature testing: 250°C for 4 hours
- Water immersion testing: 2 m depth for 8 hours
- Ultrasonic cleaning: 70°C for 90 minutes
- Pressure testing: 200 kPa for 2 hours under high temperature and high humidity
- Compression strength: 150 MPa
Concrete Traceability Typical Challenge
RFID tags embedded in concrete or other materials must remain protected during installation and throughout the asset’s service life, while still providing reliable RFID identification after being surrounded by the embedding material. Tag construction, placement, and embedding depth can all affect long-term performance.
Why Our Tags?
Our concrete and embedded RFID tags are designed for applications where the tag needs to be integrated into construction materials or other components rather than simply attached to the surface. Selected models offer rugged constructions for demanding installation and long-term identification applications.
