Omni-ID launched a line of high temperature small UHF RFID tags for metal asset tracking. Fit 100 High Temperature, Fit 210 High Temperature and Fit 400 High Temperature have been designed to survive challenging temperature stresses and provide excellent read ranges for such small on-metal RFID tags, at prices that allow broad RFID deployments.

Like all the previously released Omni-ID Fit tags, also the Fit High Temperature products are small and light-weight for being attached to hand tools, small IT assets and other metal objects with a tiny surface to accommodate a tag, but the strengthened structure with the added ability to withstand repeated exposure to very high peak temperatures up to 225°C and challenging thermal shocks expands the range of their applications. Fit 100 High Temperature, Fit 210 High Temperature and Fit 400 High Temperature represent reliable solutions for tracking surgical instruments, medical implants, food returnable containers and other assets that undergo autoclave sterilization, work in process parts that go through paint shop processes and acidic plating in automotive manufacturing, equipment used at high temperatures in the oil and gas industry. Surviving also rubber vulcanization and compression molding, these high temperature small UHF RFID tags for metal are being integrated in tires to enable their effective tracking at any manufacturing stage.

Measuring just 6.8mm x 6.4mm x 2.1mm and weighing 0.8 grams, Fit 100 is a perfect choice for sugical instrument and very small hand tools. Fit 100 can be read from up to 1.1 meters with fixed readers and half a meter with handheld devices.
Fit 200, which measure 13.1mm x 7.1mm x 3.1mm and weighs 1.6 grams, provides read range up to 4 meters and 2 meters with fixed and handheld readers respectively. Fit 200 works very well when placed in a recess in the metal surface.
Fit 210 is 57.1mm x 5.95mm x 1.3mm and with its narrow and extremely thin form factor is well suited for hand tools such as wrenches and ratchet tools, containers and other assets that offer a longer surface to host a tag. The read distance of Fit 210 achieves 2 meters with fixed readers and 1 meters with handheld interrogators.

These high temperature small UHF RFID tags for metal can be delivered with adhesive film on their back to facilitate the positioning on the asset surface, but use permanent liquid adhesive is strongly recommended to ensure secure bonding during high temperature processes. Like the standard Fit tags, also the Fit High Temperature products can be delivered with ATEX certification for use in hazardous areas.
