What Is an ABS Anti-Metal UHF RFID Tag?

An ABS anti-metal UHF RFID tag is designed for identifying assets installed on suitable metal surfaces. Its anti-metal structure helps reduce the performance issues that metal can cause to a conventional RFID antenna.

Compared with a standard RFID label, a hard tag offers a different housing and mounting format for selected industrial equipment, waste bins and reusable containers. The right design depends on the asset geometry, installation method and required reading distance.

Key Specifications

The reference read range depends on the reader, antenna, transmission power, tag orientation, metal surface and installation environment. We recommend testing samples under conditions representative of your intended application.

Applications in Waste Management, Warehousing and Logistics

RFID Waste Bin and Smart City Management

Attach a compatible tag to designated waste bins to support identification during collection, transportation and service operations. When integrated with a suitable reader and management system, each tag can be associated with an asset ID or operational record.

For municipal projects, confirm the mounting position, reader type, required read range and environmental protection requirements before ordering.

Warehouse Asset Tracking

Identify selected metal equipment, tools, reusable containers and other industrial assets. RFID identification can support inventory checks and movement records when integrated with a compatible warehouse management or asset tracking system.

For dense storage areas, test the tag around racks, machinery and nearby tagged items before approving the final configuration.

Transport Container Tracking

Use compatible tags to identify selected metal transport containers and reusable logistics assets during handling and transfer. Confirm the mechanical fit, mounting method and reader compatibility with your system integrator before mass production.

Chip Selection and Memory Configuration

The current product listing identifies the chip as customized but does not specify which memory bank its listed 512-bit capacity refers to. Buyers should identify whether their application requires EPC identification, a unique TID, or writable USER memory.

For applications that need extended USER memory, NXP UCODE Nxm is a candidate for engineering evaluation. NXP lists up to 496 bits of EPC memory, up to 752 bits of USER memory and 96-bit TID memory, with configurable memory allocation. The IC also specifies 100,000 write cycles, 20-year data retention and an operating range of −40°C to +85°C.

These are IC specifications, not guarantees for the finished tag. Chip selection must be validated against the tag antenna, housing, required memory map, reader system and intended operating environment. The final memory configuration and availability should be confirmed before quotation.

Read Range and Mounting Options

The current product listing states a reference reading distance of 0–10 m. Actual performance varies with reader power, antenna design, tag orientation, mounting surface and surrounding radio conditions. A maximum reading distance should not be treated as a guaranteed result in every application.

The standard design includes a 4 mm mounting hole. Confirm hole position, spacing, fixing hardware and installation clearance against the technical drawing. Other sizes may be considered after engineering review.

Customization and Sample Testing

Share your application, target metal surface, reader model, required chip, memory needs, quantity and operating conditions. This information helps determine whether the standard model is suitable or a customized configuration is needed.

Ask our team about confirmed options for chip configuration, dimensions, marking, encoding and packaging. Options depend on technical feasibility and final specification approval.

Before placing a bulk order, evaluate samples for mechanical fit, read performance, chip compatibility and encoding requirements. Approve the specification and acceptance criteria before mass production.

Manufacturing Capability and Quality Control

Kaisere Technology supplies RFID products for business and industrial applications. Company information includes a 10,000 m² factory and reported company-wide output of more than 12 million RFID products per month. These figures refer to overall company operations, not the production capacity of this individual tag model.

For your project, ask which technical datasheets and inspection records are available for the selected configuration. Relevant checks may include dimensional inspection, chip and encoding verification, RF performance testing and batch inspection.

Confirm the minimum order quantity, production lead time, packaging requirements and acceptance criteria in the quotation. Any certification or test report should be checked for validity and applicability to the product being supplied.

Global Supply and Ordering Process

To receive an accurate quotation, provide your destination country, order quantity, intended application, mounting surface, chip or memory requirements and any compliance documentation needed.

Sample availability, MOQ and lead time depend on the selected configuration and order volume. Shipping arrangements, export documents, packaging and delivery terms can be confirmed during quotation.

For reliable project delivery, approve the final specifications and sample performance before authorizing mass production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this ABS UHF RFID tag be mounted on metal?

It is designed for suitable metal-mounted applications. Confirm the mounting method and validate performance on your actual surface before bulk deployment.

What is the read range of this tag?

The current product listing states 0–10 m. Actual read range depends on the complete RFID system and installation conditions, so project-specific testing is recommended.

Which chip options are available?

The chip is customized according to project requirements. NXP UHF chips can be evaluated based on protocol, memory configuration, antenna design and cost target. Confirm the selected part number before ordering.

Does the product provide 512 bits of memory?

The original listing states 512 bits but does not identify the memory bank. Specify your EPC and USER memory requirements so the appropriate chip configuration can be selected.

Can this tag be used outdoors?

Outdoor suitability depends on the verified temperature range, enclosure protection, mounting and exposure conditions of the finished tag. Request the applicable technical documentation for your chosen configuration.

Can I request samples before a bulk order?

Contact our team with your application, reader model and target surface to confirm sample availability and testing arrangements.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the estimated quantity, destination country, chip or memory requirements, mounting method and operating environment. These details help confirm technical suitability, price and lead time.
