Confidex - Ironside
UHF RFID Tag


The Confidex Ironside tag can be mounted easily on any metallic surfaces either with industrial adhesive or mechanically (e.g. with pop rivets). Ironside’s performance enables several on-metal identification challenges to be solved which earlier were impossible with passive RFID. The Ironside Tag has passed the rigorous testing requirements for the Aerospace Standard AS5678 specification. It is used successfully in RFID implementations globally for tracking assets from steel pallets to train wagons.

Features

  • Ideal for metal and non-metal applications
  • Up to 9 meters read range when metal mounted
  • Read/Write capability
