Xerafy - Metal Skin

The Metal Skin® RFID labels from Xerafy represent a new generation of high-performance UHF | RAIN - RFID solutions specifically designed for demanding industrial, logistics, and IT applications. As ultra-thin, flexible, and at the same time highly robust RFID tags, these UHF on-metal labels are consistently engineered to deliver stable and repeatable RFID performance even when applied directly to metal surfaces. Companies benefit from a reliable RFID transponder that enables transparency, automation, and item-level traceability, even in complex, metal-intensive environments. Typical applications range from the identification of parts and components and WIP tracking in production to asset tracking in data centers, hospitals, and global supply chains.

As Xerafy UHF on-metal labels, the Metal Skin® series stands out due to its uncompromising industrial design. The labels are available in several standardized sizes, covering a wide range of assets, from small IT components to larger returnable transport items. Depending on the variant, these industrial RFID labels support long read ranges, increased memory capacity, resistance to liquids, or tamper-evident features. Thanks to high IP ratings and resistance to moderate solvents, acids, and alkalis, these industrial RFID transponders are ideally suited for continuous use in harsh environments. The result is reliable data capture throughout the entire lifecycle of a product or asset, an essential success factor for Industry 4.0, automated warehouse operations, and connected production systems.

A key feature of Metal Skin® labels is their exceptionally thin and flexible construction, enabling easy integration without mechanically impacting the tagged objects. The laminated face stock is thermal-transfer printable and can be customized with logos, serial numbers, human-readable text, or barcodes. Combined with a permanently bonding industrial adhesive, these UHF labels adhere securely to both flat and slightly curved surfaces. Compatibility with common industrial RFID printers, including models from Zebra, SATO, and TSC, allows decentralized, on-demand personalization directly at the point of use. This makes even large-scale RFID rollouts efficient and cost-effective.

From a technological perspective, Metal Skin® products are equipped with advanced RFID chips from Impinj and NXP, providing a future-proof foundation for demanding track-and-trace applications. As Xerafy UHF tags, they are optimally tuned to global UHF | RAIN frequency bands and enable reliable identification over several meters, even on metal. For companies seeking scalable, durable, and precise RFID identification, these industrial RFID labels represent a compelling solution.
