Confidex Ironside Micro NFC Tag – ICODE SLIX2 IP68 Certified
It is a hard tag designed to provide long-range reading on all surfaces thanks to its high performance. It is especially effective on metal surfaces.
Metal-on-metal RFID tags (hard tags) are produced using technology that prevents RF waves from being absorbed on metal or similar surfaces. Additionally, hard RFID tags offer superior reading and durability performance in industrial environments, including environmental factors and production-stage challenges, providing stable tag reading success even under the toughest conditions. Metal surface tags are divided into two categories regarding reading performance: on metal and on different materials (wood, plastic, etc.). Hard surface RFID tags deliver maximum performance at reading points thanks to their antenna structure and RFID chips such as Monza 4QT, Higgs 3, Higgs 4, etc.

RFID metal-on-metal tags are radio frequency identification (RFID) tags designed for use on metallic surfaces. These tags have a unique design that allows them to be read even when placed on metal objects. This is a significant advantage compared to other RFID tags that cannot be read when placed on metal surfaces.
One of the main benefits of using RFID metal-on-metal tags is their usability in environments where other types of RFID tags would fail. For example, in industrial environments where metal objects are common, traditional RFID tags cannot be used due to interference caused by metal. However, RFID metal-on-metal tags can still be read even when placed on metal surfaces, making them an excellent choice for industrial applications.
Another advantage of these tags is their durability and resistance to harsh environments. Designed for industrial use, these tags withstand chemicals, high temperatures, and other challenging conditions. RFID metal-on-metal tags are typically made from materials resistant to corrosion and extreme temperatures, making them ideal for tough environments.
In addition to durability, RFID metal-on-metal tags are highly customizable. They can be designed to meet specific requirements such as size, shape, and frequency. Metal-on-metal tags are perfect for a wide range of applications, from inventory management to asset tracking.
Metal RFID tags are also very secure. These tags can be encrypted to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, making them a great choice for security-focused applications. Additionally, RFID metal-on-metal tags are read remotely, allowing asset tracking without physical contact and reducing theft or loss risk.
One challenge of using RFID metal-on-metal tags is that reading at longer distances can be difficult. Since metal surfaces can block radio wave transmission, reading metal-on-metal RFID tags remotely is harder. However, technological advances have made it possible to design metal-on-metal RFID tags that can be read from greater distances, making these tags more versatile and useful for a broader range of applications.
Another challenge is that metal-on-metal RFID tags can be more expensive than other RFID types. They are designed for harsh environments and are highly customizable, often making them pricier. However, the benefits of increased durability, customization, and security in industrial environments usually outweigh the higher cost.
Overall, metal-on-metal tags are a highly versatile and reliable solution for various applications. Whether you need to track inventory in a warehouse or manage assets in a manufacturing facility, metal-on-metal RFID tags provide high accuracy, durability, and security.
