RFID on metal tags are radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags which perform a specific function when attached to metal objects. RFID on metal transponders will continue to create new applications in a wide range of asset tracking and industrial applications. 

RFID on Metal

Metal surfaces reflect energy emitted from RFID readers and create interference for RFID tag antennas, which means the tag isn't able to receive power and transmit information; however, specific RFID tags will work around metal surfaces. RFID companies have technology that allows RFID to work when attached to metal surfaces and even embedded within metal products. As long as you choose the correct RFID equipment for your environment and application, you won't need to worry about interference from metal.

RFID on metal tags are perfect for asset and tools in medical devices for healthcare, laptops & servers in IT (information technology), vehicle tracking identification, oil & gas pipelines, industrial manufacturing, and many other industry verticals. With the recent developments in RFID technology, the possible applications of metal mount RFID tags are expansive in scope.

If you need printable RFID tags that work with metal, a few manufacturers offer tags that attach directly to metal surfaces with adhesive. Several of these tags feature a paper face, so you can print private logos, product information, or scannable barcodes directly on the label. If you need a paper label RFID tag that can still withstand harsh environments, Metal mount labels are flexible RFID tags allowing them to adhere to curved surfaces. Also, RFMOBI and HID offers the best line of on metal tags allowing you to adapt your RFID system around your needs.
