Xerafy, the globally renowned company and innovator of Gen2 passive UHF RFID metal tags, has announced the launch of its updated MICRO series of on-metal tags, which are designed to meet the challenges of automation and digitisation in manufacturing.

Beyond identification and tracking, industrial RFID systems for manufacturing are moving towards automation, digitisation, and data acquisition.

MICRO series of on-metal tags

The company’s flagship MICRO series offers tags that are all designed to provide a reusable tagging solution that works reliably in the harshest manufacturing conditions, such as high temperatures, shocks, chemicals, pressure, and water resistance.

With this upgrade, Xerafy adds advanced new features and customisable options to its high-performance industrial RFID tagging platform: High temperatures up to 250C, IP68 ratings, market-leading read-range, rugged mounting with metal reinforcements for rivets and screws, ATEX certified versions, user memory version, metal back plate, case colour optimised for barcodes and optical identifications.

High-temperature RFID tags expert

Xerafy has built on its field experience of high-temperature RFID tags, with the MICRO series currently in use

Aside from the all-purpose MICRO industrial tag, the series includes two specialised designs for use in paint shops (the silicon-free MICRO Paint Shop) and in medical autoclaves (the IP69K-rated MICRO Autoclavable).

Xerafy has built on its field experience of high-temperature RFID tags, with the MICRO series currently in use, at manufacturing facilities all over the world: high-temperature production, automotive paint shops, work-in-process visibility, and so on.

NXP UCODE 8 IC chip selected for performance

Xerafy selected NXP Semiconductors’ NXP UCODE 8 IC chip for its sensitivity and overall performance, thereby delivering the market-renowned read-range required for industrial RFID systems.

Tag samples of the MICRO series are available now from the Xerafy representatives, with orders shipping in October 2021.
