HID Global RFID transponder portfolio – comprehensive RFID tag portfolio now available via IDCRAFT
Companies in industry, logistics, laundry services, and healthcare require reliable, scalable, and durable RFID solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into existing processes. With HID Global, one of the world’s most comprehensive RFID transponder portfolios is now fully available through IDCRAFT GmbH as an partner in the German speaking region.
RFID transponders as the foundation of modern Auto-ID systems
RFID transponders are a key component of modern Auto-ID and IoT solutions. They enable contactless identification, tracking, and traceability of objects, significantly improving automation, transparency, and process efficiency. HID Global brings more than 20 years of experience in RFID tag development and offers an exceptionally broad portfolio covering virtually every application—from simple labeling tasks to highly specialized industrial use cases.
The HID Global RFID transponder portfolio covers all relevant frequency bands: UHF | RAIN - RFID, HF | NFC, and LF. It is complemented by a wide range of form factors, materials, and mounting options, including labels, hard tags, on-metal solutions, high-temperature transponders, and textile RFID labels.
UHF | RAIN - RFID – maximum range and efficiency
HID Global’s UHF (RAIN RFID) transponders are ideal for applications that require the simultaneous identification of large numbers of items over several meters. Typical use cases include warehouse and production logistics, inbound and outbound goods tracking, asset management, and textile supply systems. HID offers UHF transponders both as cost-efficient RFID label and as robust hard tags for industrial environments. A key highlight is the HID IQ Labels™, which integrate seamlessly into existing printing and labeling processes.
HF | NFC – precise near-field identification
For applications requiring short read ranges or direct user interaction, HID Global provides a broad range of HF and NFC transponders. These solutions are ideally suited for access control, personal identification, healthcare applications, and maintenance or service processes. Many HF transponders support larger memory capacities, anti-collision functionality, and advanced memory technologies such as FRAM, making them suitable for sterilization processes and repeated read/write cycles.
Tag & Label Types available from HID Global
On-metal RFID tags – reliable performance on metal
Metal surfaces are a known challenge for RFID systems. HID Global addresses this with specially designed on-metal RFID tag, featuring optimized antenna designs and shielding that enable reliable read performance directly on metal. These transponders are commonly used for tool and equipment management, IT assets, containers, and vehicles. Products such as the HID IronTag® series or HID IQ On-Metal Label are built to withstand moisture, mechanical stress, and extreme temperature variations.
High-temperature RFID transponders – tracking under extreme conditions
For environments with high thermal exposure—such as paint shops, autoclaves, ovens, or industrial washing processes—HID Global offers dedicated high-temperature RFID transponders. Manufactured from heat-resistant materials like PPS or high-temperature plastics, these tags remain fully functional even under sustained thermal stress. Such solutions are essential in automotive manufacturing, metal processing, and healthcare sterilization workflows.
RFID laundry tag & label – intelligent textile tracking
Another key focus of the HID portfolio is RFID laundry tags and labels, designed specifically for industrial laundries, hospitals, and textile service providers.
Whether flexible, sew-in UHF laundry labels or extremely robust laundry hard tags such as BluTAG®, these transponders withstand numerous wash, dry, and finishing cycles while enabling the automated identification of entire laundry batches. This increases inventory transparency, reduces losses, and significantly improves operational efficiency.
