RFID Tags & Readers for Hazardous Locations
Photo of a selection of typical passive RFID tags suitable for industrial applications The need to manage assets in industry is becoming increasingly important to improve efficiency and workflow accuracy. Passive RFID technology has matured in recent years and is now available for use in hazardous classified locations.

Applications for this technology are diverse but include controlling and managing maintenance of equipment as part of service and hazardous area inspection regimes to automatically identify the asset. In warehouse and manufacturing areas they can be used for logistics and production tracking so that the location and utilization history of an item is known. Where a WLAN exists, tagged assets can be scanned by a handheld PC/PDA such as the i.roc x20, and the relevant documentation made available to the engineer — saving valuable time and increasing efficiency.

We offer a wide range of intrinsically safe RFID tags in different form factors and levels of ruggedness for attachment to cables, valves, instruments, enclosures, machinery, pallets, bags, drums, etc.
