Xerafy addresses the limitation of RFID on metal assets

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

Xerafy announced the debut of Metal Skin, an ultra-high frequency EPC RFID inlay designed specifically for tracking metallic assets.

Metal Skin is a low profile inlay family containing the Impinj Monza 4QT chip. It is lightweight and flexible to fit curved surfaces such as the contour of metal cylinders and drums, without compromising performance.


Compliant to EPC frequency standards, the Metal Skin operates in global frequency and is versatile for a range of applications from product authentication and IT asset and laptop tracking to anti-counterfeiting of high value items and medical supplies and tracking assets shipped globally.

The RFID inlay comes in different sizes, with a read range of up to 13 feet on metal and 16 feet off metal. It can be converted into different label sizes through standard label converting equipment and processes. Logos and barcode can also be printed using standard RFID printers. [end]
