RFID Tags
Track inventory and other items in your facility with these tags, which store and share loads of information. Capable of both read and write functions, their memory can be repeatedly rewritten and reused. Use their data to provide reliable feedback to automated tracking systems and devices, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs). These tags are easier to scan than bar codes because they don’t require line of sight. They’re also more durable because bar codes can get scuffed, smudged, and wear out over time.
Adhesive-ready tags can be glued onto a surface or embedded within it.
High-frequency tags are good for short-range scanning, approximately 4 in. away from an RFID reader/writer. They’re often used for tracking bins passing a checkpoint on a conveyor belt. Ultra-high-frequency tags are good for long-range scanning, up to 20 ft. away. They’re often used to track inventory on pallets and racks in motion as they pass an RFID reader/writer, which can scan multiple tags at once.
IP67 tags withstand dust and temporary submersion. IP68 tags protect against dust and prolonged submersion. IP69K tags seal out dust and are protected from high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

Hazardous Location RFID Tags
Use these tags to efficiently scan, track, and manage inventory and other items in highly volatile areas. Intrinsically safe, they meet ATEX international certification to protect against explosion in environments containing flammable gases. Unlike bar codes, these tags store and share loads of information without needing a line of sight to scan. Their high frequency lets them transfer data at short distances—about 4 in. away from an RFID reader/writer. Capable of both read and write functions, their memory can be repeatedly rewritten and reused. Use them to provide feedback to automated tracking systems and devices, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs). They’re also more durable than bar codes, which can wear out over time. Tags meet ISO and IEC standards for frequency ranges, and they’re IP67 rated, so they’ll still work if they get dusty or wet.

RFID Cards
Grant facility access to staff and authorized visitors with these cards. An alternative to ID badges with bar codes, they store and share loads of information without needing a line of sight to scan. Their high frequency lets them transfer data up to 4 in. away from an RFID reader/writer. Capable of both read and write functions, their memory can be repeatedly rewritten and reused. These cards’ memory is protected by its plastic body, unlike cards with printed bar codes, which can scuff, smudge, and wear out over time. They meet ISO and IEC standards for frequency ranges, and they’re CE marked to meet European health, safety, and environmental protection requirements. IP68 rated, they will still work in dusty or wet environments.

RFID Reader/Writer Kits
Scan and sort RFID-tagged inventory, track RFID-tagged items around your facility, and control building access. Unlike bar code scanners, these readers/writers can scan multiple tags simultaneously without direct line of sight. Plug in the included power supply, and connect them directly to your host system, such as a PC or programmable logic controller (PLC). As tagged items pass by, these readers/writers quickly read and transmit data to your system or write new information to the tags.
Configure your reader/writer settings and access tag data through a web browser interface. Reader/writers have color LEDs built in to indicate each successful scan. Choose a reader/writer that is compatible with the frequency of your RFID tags, cards, and labels (not included). Reader/writers meet ISO and IEC standards for frequency ranges.
High-frequency reader/writers are good for short-range scanning. They’re often used to sort or track items on a conveyor belt and to scan ID cards for facility access. Ultra-high-frequency reader/writers are good for long-range scanning and when scanning ranges may vary. Capable of reading up to 64 individual RFID tags in one scan, they’re often used to track inventory in bulk, such as pallets of tagged items.
Sensing distance for your reader/writers is reduced when tags are smaller, misaligned, not optimized for their mounting material, or scanned in hot or cold environments. The sensing distances in the table below represent typical factory conditions for a 26 × 100 mm tag optimized for its mounting material.

RFID Reader Kits for Development Boards
Scan RFID cards when prototyping systems for item tracking and conveyor sorting. These readers scan one card at a time without requiring a direct line of sight, so they'll work in areas where bar code scanners can't. An LED and a buzzer indicate each successful scan. Readers connect to your development board with an included Qwiic cord that snaps into place, saving you the effort of soldering. If your board doesn’t have a Qwiic connection, choose a cord with a machine-pin plug. The two included RFID cards, as well as additional cards, have unique IDs and cannot be rewritten.
Sensing distance for your reader is reduced when cards are misaligned or scanned in hot or cold environments. The sensing distance in the table below represents typical factory conditions for the included card.
