What is a UHF RFID On-Metal Tag PCB with Alien® Higgs® 3 Chip?
UHF RFID On-Metal Tags play a crucial role in tracking assets directly on metal surfaces, where traditional RFID tags often fail due to interference. The Alien® Higgs® 3 chip embedded in a robust FR4 PCB substrate enhances reliability, durability, and read range, making it ideal for industrial applications in challenging environments.
Key Features
- Embedded Alien® Higgs® 3 chip for enhanced UHF performance
- Durable FR4 PCB construction with tear, moisture, and heat resistance
- IP68-rated for dust and water protection
- Compact design with flexible mounting options (embedded or adhesive)
- Reliable 1-meter read range on metal surfaces
How Does It Work?
The tag combines the Alien® Higgs® 3 UHF RFID chip with an FR4 PCB antenna substrate, designed to minimize signal loss caused by metal surfaces. The tag captures RF signals from readers and reflects back data, with the PCB providing structural durability and consistent antenna performance.
Applications and Benefits
Typical applications include:
- Industrial asset and equipment tracking
- Warehouse and logistics management
- Manufacturing process supervision
- Outdoor installations requiring water and dust resistance
Benefits:
- Improves asset visibility and management efficiency
- Resists harsh environmental conditions
- Supports long-term deployment with minimal maintenance
The Alien® Higgs® 3 UHF RFID On-Metal Tag PCB provides a reliable and durable solution for industrial asset management on metal surfaces, enhancing tracking accuracy and operational efficiency in demanding environments.
