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.

Superior performance on high dielectric materials

Industry segments: Automotive, Industrial Applications, Sports, Events and Gaming

AD-665u8 inlays from Avery Dennison Smartrac are Gen2 UHF RFID products that perform exceptionally well in a wide array of applications and across a broad range of dielectrics.

The product is suitable for a wide variety of RFID tagging applications, particularly those related to Automotive and Industrial Asset Tracking, Race Timing, and Personal ID Badges. AD-665u8 is an excellent choice for tagging glass windshields, where it can achieve read distances of over 10 meters with a fixed or handheld reader.

AD-665u8 is equipped with NXP UCODE 8 chip that comes with 128 bits of EPC memory, and 96 bits of serialized TID with a 48 bit unique serial number. The product is available in Dry Inlay and Wet Inlay delivery formats.

Like all RFID products from Avery Dennison Smartrac, AD-665u8 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.
