TagMatiks 1102 - Tool & Instrument RFID Tag (Pack of 50)

The TagMatiks Tool & Instrument RFID Tags are designed for customers tag assets, especially tools and instruments are typically harder to tag given their format factor and typically use. The TagMatiks Tool and Instrument RFID Tags are attached using field-applied epoxy.

Typical Applications

The TagMatiks Tool & Instrument RFID Tags are designed to be used in conjunction with TagMatiks Asset Tracking (AT) and TagMatiks Asset Tracking Lite (AT Lite)

TagMatiks AT and AT Lite include workflows to automate the management and tracking of tools and instruments using RFID technology.

The tags are less than 2mm (0.07”) in width and height, so they blend almost seamlessly onto the contours of instruments, tools, weapons and metrology equipment. These tags are also resistant to a very wide range of chemicals, and have an ingress protection rating of IP 68. These tags can easily be adapted for applications involving overmolding/overspraying or embedding in metal. 

They require customer supplied epoxy for attaching to the instruments. JB Weld epoxies are usually good for an application like this. Surface prep is super important to get a good bond, clean the surface with alcohol and dry thoroughly.

Operating Temperature: -50° C to 85° C (-58° F to 185° F)

Temperature Tolerance: -50° C to 185° C (-58° F to 365° F)

FAQs:

What is the TagMatiks 1102 Tool & Instrument RFID Tag?

What are the typical applications for the TagMatiks RFID Tag?

The TagMatiks 1102 RFID Tags are suitable for various applications, including tagging tools, instruments, electrical parts, and manufacturing assets. They are designed to work seamlessly with TagMatiks Asset Tracking (AT) and TagMatiks Asset Tracking Lite (AT Lite), as well as other compatible RFID software solutions.

How do the TagMatiks RFID Tags attach to the assets?

The tags require an epoxy for attachment to the instruments. It is recommended to use JB Weld epoxies for this purpose. Proper surface preparation is crucial for a strong bond; ensure the surface is cleaned with alcohol and thoroughly dried before application.

What is the ingress protection rating of the TagMatiks RFID Tag?

The TagMatiks 1102 RFID Tags have an IP68 ingress protection rating, indicating they are highly resistant to dust and can withstand continuous immersion in water.

What frequency does the TagMatiks RFID Tag operate on?

The TagMatiks 1102 operates at frequencies of 902-928 MHz or 856-868 MHz. The sample pack is currently available only in FCC frequencies.

What type of integrated circuit (IC) does the TagMatiks RFID Tag use?

The TagMatiks 1102 utilizes the Impinj Monza R6-P or M750 integrated circuits, which are known for their reliability in asset tracking applications.

Where on my tool is the best location to attach the RFID Tag?

Attach the RFID tag to a flat, non-grip area of the tool, ideally on a metal-safe surface if it’s metallic. Avoid edges, striking zones, or hand contact areas. Ensure it’s visible for scanning, protected from damage, and securely fastened for durability.

How far away can I read the TagMatiks 1102 - Tool & Instrument RFID Tag?

Read range depends on the reader and environment, but generally, the tag can be read from about 3 to 10 feet under optimal conditions.
