SteelCode

SteelMini

SteelCode measures 38mm x 13mm x 7mm, features 3.4mm holes for screw mounting, offers read range up to 6 meters and can withstand temperature up to 250°C.
With dimensions of just 13mm x 8mm x 5.1mm, SteelMini delivers remarkable read range for such small footprint, up to 2.8 meters, and reliable endurance to temperature up to 150°C.
Besides resistance to prolonged exposure to very high heat, both these on-metal UHF RFID tags come with IP68 protection and survive exposure to corrosive chemicals. Furthermore, they are suitable also for tracking metal assets that have to repeatedly undergo autoclave sterilization.
SteelCode and SteelMini leverages the Alien Technology Higgs-3 chip and are available in different frequency versions specifically tuned to provide the best reading performance.
Upon request, the products can be delivered in different colors, pre-encoded, marked with text, numbering and logo. Also ATEX/IECEx certifications is offered upon special request.

HID Global’s UHF Brick Tag models

The UHF models have a ceramic enclosure and are specifically designed to track small metal assets such as work tools, weapons, surgical instruments and other small metal assets. They survive prolonged use in demanding industrial environments, endure exposure to aggressive chemicals and reliably withstand repeated autoclave sterilization processes. The UHF Brick Tag transponders are available in four sizes: 10mm x 2.5mm x 2.5mm (Brick Tag 60), 5mm x 5mm x 3mm (Brick Tag 75), 10mm x 5mm x 3mm (Brick Tag 150), 23mm x 9mm x 3mm (Brick Tag 600). All the UHF Brick Tag models use the Alien Technology Higgs-3 chip.

The standard HF version, which embeds the HID Global Vigo 1K™ chip, is compatible with the ISO 15693 standard and, if NDEF formatted, offers compliance with the NFC Forum Type 5 Tag to be read with any NFC reading device, smartphones included. Working well on both metal and non-metal surfaces, the Brick Tag with Vigo 1K chip is a great choice for hand tools, IT devices, cables and other assets with very limited space to accommodate a tag.

As per the LF frequency band, a new product that leverages a HDX chip that works at 134.2 kHz and offers 128 bits of read-only memory has joined a previously released 130 kHz model based on a Nova chip with a 160 bit EEPROM.

Driver-activated high-security RFID tag for vehicle identification

Window Tag Ultimate

Since it can be read only for 5 seconds after easy manual activation, Window Tag Ultimate allows the driver to keep full control over tag ID reading operations. Additionally, besides being compatible with Nedap Identification Systems’ robust 2.45 GHz RFID protocol for vehicle identification, Window Tag Ultimat leverages a 433 MHz air interface protocol that features AES128 encryption to add an extra layer of security. This driver-activated high-security RFID tag for vehicle identification comes with a factory-programmed read-only memory, so that it is recommended for applications where only vehicle ID reading is required, for instance parking access management and gated communities. The device can be easily mounted on the interior side of vehicle’s windshield by means of an integrated suction cup and come in a compact and elegant form factor combined with anthracite color to match typical automotive interiors. Thanks to its battery-assisted technology, the read performance is excellent and the read range achieves 10m. Window Tag Ultimate is specifically designed for being used with Nedap Identification Systems’ TRANSIT Ultimate reader, but is compatible also with previous models of the TRANSIT series. The user replaceable AAA batteries offer an expected life-time of 5 years, depending on average climate conditions. The part number, tag ID number and date of manufacture are laser etched into the back case of the tag.

Please contact Nedap Identification Systems for additional information on this driver-activated high-security RFID tag for vehicle identification. Are you looking for other kinds of RFID tags?
