Durable & High-Performance On Metal RFID Tags
On Metal RFID Tags are specialized tags designed for deployment on metal surfaces or in environments with high metal content. Unlike standard RFID tags, which can suffer signal interference when placed near metal, these tags are made from materials such as PCB, ABS, or PET combined with aluminum foil. This structure effectively shields interference caused by metal, protects the embedded chip and antenna, and ensures stable reading performance. As a result, anti-metal RFID tags provide reliable, robust identification and tracking solutions that traditional RFID tags may not be able to do.
These durable tags are used in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and asset management. Their ability to withstand harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or mechanical stress, makes them ideal for heavy machinery, pipes, and other metallic assets. By automating inventory checks and maintenance schedules, RFID anti-metal tags help organizations streamline operations, minimize errors, and gain real-time visibility into critical assets, ultimately improving efficiency and decision-making.
Types of On Metal RFID Tags We Offer

This enables quick bulk inventory scans, loss prevention, and instant check-in/out of devices in high-value environments.
Result: Streamlined IT audits, better asset traceability, and faster equipment deployment
Tool Tracking in Workshops & Service Vehicles
Manufacturers, repair services, and utility companies apply PCB or FPC on-metal tags to:
Hand tools
Power tools
Diagnostic equipment
RFID-enabled smart cabinets or vehicles automatically detect tool movement and usage.
Result: Fewer lost tools, higher accountability, and faster field readiness
Logistics & Returnable Transport Items (RTIs)
Metal-mount RFID tags are used to tag:
Steel pallets
Metal containers
Roll cages and kegs
These RFID systems allow for automated loading, delivery confirmation, and reverse logistics tracking.
Result: Reduced loss of returnable assets, more efficient logistics, and data-driven insights
Healthcare & Laboratory Equipment
Hospitals and labs apply on-metal NFC and UHF tags to:
Autoclave trays
Diagnostic machines
Lab assets and containers
Because they're resistant to heat and chemicals, our tags are safe for sterilization environments.
Result: Improved tracking of sensitive devices, sterile supply chain monitoring, and compliance documentation
Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Construction firms mount ABS or rugged PCB RFID tags on:
Scaffolding
Formwork panels
Steel beams and heavy tools
This enables lifecycle monitoring, usage logging, and digital site inventory across multiple locations.
Result: Faster equipment deployment, better resource allocation, and real-time asset data
Industrial Asset Tracking & Maintenance
Factories, plants, and construction sites use on-metal RFID tags to track:
Machines and equipment
Maintenance schedules
Replacement part history
With rugged enclosures and strong adhesives or screws, these tags stay put even in dusty, high-vibration, and outdoor environments.
Result: Reduced downtime, automated asset audits, and improved compliance
