HID - On-Metal RTI
Robust UHF RFID Asset & Logistics Tag

	HID Global’s On Metal RTI Transponder features a passive contactless transponder designed to communicate with a reader via radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Developed specifically for metallic returnable transport items, the On Metal RTI Transponder includes a unique electronic design optimized to facilitate reliable inventory tracking amidst a dense field of objects. Even when the items are filled with liquids the On Metal RTI Transponder allows unprecedented reading performance. The durable ABS plastic housing of the transponder is slightly curved along one axis to improve the fitting on rounded RTI’s such as beer kegs, chemical drums, or any durable metallic cylindrical product that needs to be serviced, tracked or returned. Surrounded with a metal ring, the On Metal RTI Transponder is designed to be welded on metal objects providing secure attachment, but can also be strongly fixed on any surface via other methods, offering flexibility in the installation. The robustness of the transponder makes it the ideal solution to address the needs of many applications where RTI’s must withstand harsh temperature and liquid environmental conditions such as through washing and sterilization processes. The relatively small size of the transponder makes it easily mounted on a wide variety of containers for many applications. Given the size, the HID On Metal RTI Transponder guarantees the best performance to size ratio with operating distances up to 7 meters, typical for a standard UHF transponder under no adverse conditions. The transponder features a broadband antenna operating from 860 to 960 MHz, allowing worldwide use. The On Metal RTI Transponder for returnable transport items allows reads of multiple items in one pass giving full visibility not only in the warehouse, but also during transportation and on customer sites. Features Designed for outdoor use and strong impact resistance Worldwide frequency coverage (EU, US, JP) in a single tag Designed for Metal Keg application on the curved surface Antenna designed for optimum performance independent of tag orientation Up to 7 meters read range without line of sight being necessary Read/Write capability including optional private or hidden data areas
