Exo Tags

When the going gets tough, try our rugged Exo range. True to their name, Omni-ID Exo tags provide the durability of an encased RFID tag in a small footprint, for harsh environments. In fact, we’d go so far as to say (modestly, of course) that they’re the most rugged passive tags on the market.

We’ve developed our range by working closely with our clients in various industries in 67 countries, covering six continents. Through our experiences we’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t). The right solution can help release the squeeze on organisational costs and margins, making processes leaner even as compliance requirements tighten.

Yes, we’ve made a ‘sledgehammer proof’ RFID tag. Or, as our engineers like to say, a tag that has been rigorously compression-, torque-, and crush-tested. And we continue to stringently test all our tags — in real-world situations and extreme conditions.

Today, we’re proud to confirm that we’ve been a major provider of rugged RFID for many years. Find out more about our Exo tags and how our customers use them.

Robust and versatile labels for hard to read surfaces

Omni-ID IQ labels are our core range of low-profile and printable on-metal RFID labels — great for tracking IT assets in datacentres and offices, including office computers and equipment such as furniture or small returnable transport items (RTIs).

With print, peel and stick flexibility in discrete or roll-to-roll labels, asset management becomes simple, cost effective and efficient. Complemented with global frequency, high temperature capabilities, and balanced performance, IQ tags come in assorted sizes and read ranges — broadening application potential for customers seeking a solution for manufacturing, warehouses, hospitals, laboratories and weaponry.

Available in both FCC and ETSI versions, AD-456u8 inlays from Avery Dennison Smartrac are an excellent option for tagging items that cannot be RFID-enabled with traditional inlay designs.

Equipped with a UCODE 8 chip from NXP, the Gen2 UHF RFID labels are hence perfectly suited for applications related to manufacturing, computers and electronics, and miscellaneous consumer goods, including beverages such as bottled water, juices, and soft drinks in aluminum cans. AD-456u8 inlays are robust, high performing and incredibly versatile solutions for tagging hard to read surfaces.

The product’s UCODE 8 chip features 128 bits of EPC memory and 96 bit unique factory-locked TID number. A 48 bit unique serial number is factory-encoded into the TID. The sole delivery format is Pressure Sensitive Label.

Like all RFID products from Avery Dennison Smartrac, AD-456u8 inlays are manufactured according to the industry’s highest quality standards, as confirmed by the RFID Lab at Auburn University: The inspection body awarded Avery Dennison its first comprehensive and significant ARC accreditation for quality.
