UHF | HF - RFID Label HID - IQ On-Metal

The HID IQ On-Metal Labels from HID Global represent a highly advanced solution in the field of UHF | RAIN - RFID and NFC whenever RFID transponders must operate reliably on metallic surfaces. Designed as dedicated RFID on-metal labels, they combine an ultra-thin form factor with high-performance shielding technology that enables interference-free operation directly on metal. The self-adhesive labels are made of durable white PET material and can be printed and encoded using standard label printers. This allows logos, barcodes, QR codes, or plain text to be applied directly, ensuring seamless integration into existing labeling and identification processes. Particularly as HID UHF on-metal labels, these RFID transponders offer an optimal balance between compact size, long read range, and suitability for everyday industrial use.

Thanks to their flexible, specialized shielding, HID IQ On-Metal Labels are suitable for both flat and slightly curved metal surfaces. Typical applications include IT assets such as laptops and server housings, machines and equipment, piping systems, liquid containers, as well as metal transport and storage containers. The labels are available in various form factors, covering a wide range of use cases, from compact NFC solutions to high-performance UHF on-metal label variants. The NFC versions comply with the NFC Tag Type 2 standard and can be read with virtually any NFC-enabled smartphone or device. The RAIN UHF versions are available in both FCC and ETSI variants, making them ideal for global industrial projects as well as for use as logistic RFID labels in international supply chains.

Especially in industrial environments, HF and UHF transponders on metal make a decisive contribution to optimizing inventory, maintenance, and process management systems. By using UHF | RAIN - RFID technology, large volumes of assets can be captured automatically, contactlessly, and in real time. Every object equipped with an industrial RFID label can be uniquely identified, located, and digitally connected to higher-level IT and IoT systems. This creates transparency across the entire value chain, from manufacturing and warehousing to logistics and end-user deployment. Companies benefit from increased process reliability, reduced errors, and significant efficiency gains, particularly in the management of IT assets, returnable transport items (RTIs), and high-value equipment.

A key quality feature of HID IQ On-Metal Labels is the consistent quality assurance provided by HID Global. Each individual RFID transponder is tested to ensure compliance with specified performance parameters and to guarantee smooth processing and reliable encoding. The labels are supplied on rolls, making them ideally suited for automated printing and application processes. Due to their temperature resistance and mechanical robustness, they are used not only in data centers and office environments but also in manufacturing, warehouses, hospitals, laboratories, and security-critical areas. As an experienced RFID specialist, IDCRAFT GmbH supports you in the selection, integration, and customization of these UHF on-metal label solutions to meet your specific requirements.
