On-metal RFID tags are specialized RFID tags designed to function effectively when attached to metal surfaces. Traditional RFID tags typically perform poorly or fail entirely when placed on metal surfaces due to interference and signal detuning. On-metal RFID tags solve this by being engineered specifically for such environments.
Common applications of on-metal RFID tags include asset tracking on metal containers, tools, equipment, and machinery; IT asset management (e.g., tagging servers and laptops); industrial manufacturing (e.g., tracking parts through production lines); use in the oil, gas, and mining industries where metal infrastructure dominates; and tagging returnable transport items like metal pallets and cages.
On-metal passive RFID tags typically operate in the UHF range (860–960 MHz), offer read ranges of up to 10 meters, and are commonly used for applications such as asset tracking and inventory management.
