Tracking steel coils, molds, and tubes in aggressive environments has never been more reliable. From pipe cores to foundries, here’s how our bolt-on UHF RFID tags hold up where others fail.
Managing internal logistics in heavy industry means dealing with unique challenges every day: high temperatures, the presence of chemicals, constant impacts, and metal surfaces that would knock out any standard technology. We have designed a solution that not only survives, but excels in these environments.
Total traceability for the most demanding capital goods
Our bolt-on UHF RFID tags are designed to be screwed directly into pipe side cores, molds, or coils. This physical integration ensures that the device remains firmly anchored to the asset throughout its life cycle, from the warehouse to the production line, resisting vibrations and mechanical stress.
Main functions
01 – Unparalleled resistance
Made of steel, these tags are immune to chemicals, solvents, and lubricants. They support operating temperatures up to +90°C and storage temperatures up to +100°C. Perfect for painting environments, heat treatment or prolonged outdoor exposure with IP68 protection rating.
02 – Performance on metal
Thanks to advanced technology and the IMPINJ Monza R6P chip, the tag maintains excellent reading performance even when screwed directly onto metal surfaces, eliminating the interference typical of traditional tags.
03 – Flexibility of formats
Available in multiple sizes (e.g. 30x20x20mm or 60×18.7x12mm) and threads ranging from M5 to M20, we can adapt to any wall thickness or mechanical bulk, ensuring quick installation with a simple screw fastening.
04 – Operating reading distance
Despite its compact size and rugged construction, the tag provides a reliable reading distance of up to 1.5 meters, allowing for quick detections with portable readers or passages through fixed portals without the need for direct eye contact.
Why Choose ZAutomation Bolt Tags
In the heavy industry, steel, or cable and piping logistics sectors, losing the traceability of a mold or coil means stopping production. Our bolt RFID tags are the solution “set & forget”: you install them once and read them for years, even in rain, mud, or heat. Turn every metal element in your factory into a smart node in your traceability network.
