ABS UHF Anti-Metal RFID Tag Overview
ABS UHF anti-metal RFID tags are passive RFID hard tags designed for metal surface applications. Unlike standard RFID labels, anti-metal RFID tags use a structure that helps reduce the interference caused by metal, allowing stable reading when attached to metal equipment, racks, tools, cabinets, containers and industrial assets.
CedaGlo ABS UHF anti-metal RFID tags support EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C and operate in the global UHF range. They can be used with fixed RFID readers, handheld RFID readers and asset tracking systems to improve inventory accuracy, reduce manual scanning time, track equipment movement and support maintenance workflows.
The ABS housing provides a rugged and water-resistant structure for indoor and outdoor industrial use. Depending on model and project requirements, the tag can support adhesive mounting, screw / rivet mounting, custom structure, barcode / QR code printing, serial number printing and EPC / UID encoding.
Why the Market Uses ABS Anti-Metal RFID Tags
Standard RFID labels may detune or perform poorly when attached directly to metal. For industrial asset tracking, this becomes a major problem because many assets are made of metal, including machines, tools, racks, cabinets, containers, utility equipment and elevator components. ABS UHF anti-metal RFID tags are designed to solve this problem.
Reliable On-Metal Reading
Optimized anti-metal structure helps maintain stable RFID performance on metal surfaces, where standard labels often fail.
Faster Asset Identification
High read accuracy and speed improve warehouse, inventory and inspection operations for metal equipment and tools.
Durable Industrial Construction
ABS housing provides high impact resistance and is built for demanding industrial environments and long service life.
Multiple Mounting Options
Adhesive, screw or rivet mounting options suit different asset surfaces, installation spaces and vibration conditions.
Outdoor & Facility Use
IP65 protection supports water resistance and long-term performance for outdoor utility, facility and inspection assets.
Custom Data & Branding
Supports logo, serial number, barcode, QR code and EPC encoding for project-specific identification and branding requirements.
