Ruggedized RAIN® RFID or NFC tags to optimize the lifecycle of rounded steel containers

Keg Tag transponders enhance the inventory tracking and lifecycle management of cylindrical returnable transport items (RTI), such as beverage kegs, chemical drums and gas cylinders. Keg Tag transponders mount via welding on steel kegs and are slightly curved for optimal fit.

The RFID tags are built to withstand rigorous washing and sterilization processes, including the use of caustic soda. Durable, double injected, full plastic housings guard the enclosed electronics against exposure to liquids and harsh chemicals, as well as fluctuations in temperature.

Pliable RFID Tags mount anywhere and endure rugged conditions

HID SlimFlex™ RFID tags are among the most advanced general-purpose flexible tags available. They tolerate repeated bending or torsion, while maintaining excellent performance characteristics even under harsh conditions. All SlimFlex RFID tags are waterproof and provide high resistance to aggressive liquids at high and sub-freezing temperatures.

Different designs are available to be embedded, affixed with cable ties or rivets. E.g. SlimFlex Tag Washer has been designed with one reinforced hole to be fixed with a single rivet to hang down from metal bars or be placed on a hook.
