TagMatiks Tool & Instrument RFID Tag Sample Pack

The Tool & Instrument RFID Tag Sample Pack is designed for customers to try out a variety of RFID tags for asset tracking for tools and instruments. 

This sample pack is 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 sample pack includes the following (FCC version): 

1. qty 20 of TagMatiks 6D RFID Tags (TAG-TT-06D)
2. qty 20 of TagMatiks 1102 RFID Tags (TAG-TT-1102)
3. qty 20 of TagMatiks 1502 RFID Tags (TAG-TT-1502)
4. qty 20 of TagMatiks 2802 RFID Tags (TAG-TT-2802)

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)
