UHF | RAIN - RFID Tag HID - Exo Keg Tag

The EXO Keg Tag transponders from HID Global have been specifically developed for the reliable identification, inventory tracking, and lifecycle management of cylindrical returnable transport items. These include beverage kegs, chemical drums, and gas cylinders that are exposed to high mechanical, thermal, and chemical stresses in logistics, industrial, and distribution processes. As a high-performance UHF | RAIN - RFID transponder, the EXO Keg Tag enables end-to-end transparency across the entire supply chain. Companies benefit from automated asset capture, reduced loss rates, and a significant increase in efficiency in warehousing, transportation, and return logistics. The EXO Keg Tag is therefore a modern RFID transponder designed specifically for demanding industrial applications and sets new standards in container logistics as a robust RFID logistic tag.

From a technological perspective, the EXO Keg Tag stands out due to its exceptional durability and installation-optimized design. It is permanently attached to steel kegs by welding, ensuring that the UHF Keg Tag remains securely fixed even under extreme operating conditions. The double-injected, fully plastic housing reliably protects the integrated electronics against moisture, aggressive chemicals, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Even intensive cleaning and sterilization processes, such as those involving caustic soda, pose no challenge for this industrial RFID tag. Thanks to its high protection rating, the EXO Keg Tag is ideally suited for use in the beverage industry, chemical and gas logistics, and all environments where durable and resilient industrial RFID transponders are required.

As a modern UHF transponder based on RAIN RFID technology, the EXO Keg Tag enables fast, contactless, and simultaneous identification of large numbers of containers. Integrated anti-collision technology allows RFID readers to identify multiple tags in a single pass. Entire pallets or even full truckloads can be captured within seconds without requiring line of sight. Even in dense object environments or when containers are filled with liquids, the HID UHF Tag delivers stable and repeatable read results. This makes real-time inventory possible, significantly reduces processing times, and sustainably eliminates error sources in manual processes.

Another key advantage of the EXO Keg Tag is its seamless traceability throughout the entire lifecycle of a container. Each individual container can be uniquely identified when leaving the distribution center, during transportation, and upon arrival at the customer site. This transparency provides a reliable data foundation for optimized circulation times, more accurate inventory planning, and improved process control. Companies therefore gain not only a powerful RFID transponder, but also a future-proof tool for the digitalization of their logistics processes.
