UHF | RAIN - RFID Tag HID - Cage SlimTRAK

The Cage SlimTRAK from HID Global is a highly specialized HID UHF tag specifically designed for the reliable identification and tracking of laundry baskets, cages, and transport trolleys. As a high-performance UHF | RAIN - RFID transponder, this industrial RFID tag addresses precisely those applications in which conventional identification solutions reach their technical limits. Especially in industrial laundries, healthcare environments, textile supply operations, and logistics-related processes, the Cage SlimTRAK delivers consistently stable RFID performance, even under intense mechanical stress, frequent washing cycles, and demanding environmental conditions. This makes it an industrial RFID transponder that sustainably improves transparency, process reliability, and operational efficiency.

From a technological perspective, the Cage SlimTRAK is a flexible UHF flex tag manufactured from extremely durable thermoplastic polyurethane. This material allows repeated bending, twisting, and heavy mechanical loads without compromising read range or RFID reliability. High and low temperatures, moisture, aggressive washing processes, and rough handling pose no challenge to this RFID transponder. Thanks to its robust design, the Cage SlimTRAK is suitable for both plastic and metal cages, making it a versatile RFID logistic tag for closed-loop material flows. Its global frequency support in the 860–960 MHz range further qualifies it for internationally operating companies with global supply and service chains.

Another key advantage of this UHF cable tie tag is its flexible and secure mounting. The Cage SlimTRAK can be permanently attached to cages or transport trolleys using cable ties, industrial adhesives, or rivets. This enables fast integration into existing processes without the need for complex modifications or special mounting hardware. Once installed, the industrial RFID transponder can be reliably read using stationary UHF RFID readers, mobile RFID handhelds, or RFID gates. Encoding supports common standards such as SGTIN96 or SSCC and can be adapted to project-specific requirements. Optional custom printing with logos, serial numbers, or QR codes allows the Cage SlimTRAK to be visually integrated into existing identification concepts.

By deploying this HID UHF tag, companies gain full transparency regarding the location, circulation times, and utilization rates of their laundry cages and transport assets. Losses can be significantly reduced, maintenance intervals optimized, and inventories managed based on real-time data. As a specialized RFID logistic tag, the Cage SlimTRAK supports automated processes across the entire value chain—from internal logistics to customer-side operations.
