FAQs:

What are TagMatiks Pre-printed/Pre-encoded On Metal Classic II RFID Labels?

These are UHF RFID labels specifically designed for metal surfaces. They are pre-printed with human-readable text and pre-encoded with an RFID EPC, enabling quick deployment for asset tracking on metal items or equipment.

What are the dimensions of these labels?

The labels measure 3.94 inches (L) x 1.57 inches (W) x 0.05 inches (H), providing an optimal size for labeling metal assets while maintaining a compact form for visibility and space-efficiency.

Why are these labels designed for metal surfaces?

Metal significantly interferes with RFID signals, making standard tags unreliable
These labels incorporate specialized materials that allow the RFID signal to be unaffected by metal interference, ensuring optimal performance when applied to metallic surfaces like:

• Steel
• Aluminum
• Copper
• Iron

What type of RFID chip is embedded in these labels?

These labels feature high-performance chips Impinj Monza M730, which support:

EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C standards

High-speed inventory reads

96-bit EPC memory

Are these labels printable or re-encodable?

No. These labels are pre-encoded and pre-printed, meaning they cannot be reprogrammed or printed by the user. They are ready for deployment right out of the box, with unique EPC codes and barcodes for tracking.

What types of assets are best suited for these labels?

These labels are perfect for a range of metal-based assets, such as:

Industrial equipment and machinery

IT hardware (servers, computers)
Tools and manufacturing equipment
Shipping and storage containers

Are these labels durable and weather-resistant?

Yes. These labels are designed for rugged environments and offer:

Chemical and abrasion resistance
Weatherproofing
UV resistance
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications in industrial environments.

Are these labels compatible with my RFID system?

Yes. The labels conform to EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C standards, ensuring compatibility with most UHF RFID readers and platforms, including TagMatiks AT Lite and Enterprise systems.

What is the benefit of using pre-printed and pre-encoded RFID labels?

The key benefits include:
Quick deployment without the need for additional printers or encoding hardware
Reduced risk of human error with pre-printed labels
Faster implementation in pilot programs or large-scale RFID systems

Where is the best location to attach the TagMatiks on Metal Classic II RFID Label?

Answer:
The TagMatiks On Metal Classic II RFID Label is specifically designed for use on metal surfaces. For optimal performance, the tag should be attached directly to a clean, flat metal surface. Ensure the surface is free of dust, oil, and moisture before application to maximize adhesion and read reliability. The tag should be placed in a location where it is not obstructed by other materials, especially those that can absorb or reflect radio waves such as liquids or dense plastics. Avoid positioning the tag near corners or curved areas unless the label is designed to flex accordingly, as this can negatively affect the tag’s read range.

What is the read range of the TagMatiks On Metal Classic II RFID Label?

Answer:
The read range of the TagMatiks On Metal Classic II RFID Label can vary depending on the RFID reader, its power output, and the surrounding environment. However, under optimal conditions with a fixed reader using standard UHF RFID protocols (such as EPC Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C), this tag typically achieves a read range of up to 18-20 feet (5.5-6 meters) when applied to metal surfaces. It's important to note that performance may decrease in environments with heavy RF interference or when using lower-powered handheld RFID readers.
