For automatic identification of small metal objects, you'll need small-size RFID tags that are specifically designed to perform well near or on metal surfaces. These are often called on-metal or anti-metal RFID tags. Here's a quick guide:
Recommended RFID Tag Features for Small Metal Objects
- On-metal compatibility: Uses a special insulating layer to prevent interference.
- Compact size: Suitable for small tools, screws, surgical instruments, etc.
- Durability: Resistant to abrasion, water, chemicals, and heat (if needed).
- UHF frequency (860–960 MHz): Ideal for longer read ranges and faster identification.
- Mounting method: Adhesive, screw, or embedding (depending on object shape/size).
Examples of Suitable RFID Tags
PCBD5
PCB0603
PCB060302
PCB0606
PCB0803
Applications
- Small hand tools or surgical instruments
- Metal parts in manufacturing
- Asset tracking in warehouses or labs
- Inventory management of metal fittings or components
Tips for Success
- Always choose on-metal tags for metallic surfaces.
- Use handheld UHF RFID readers or automated gates for scanning.
- Test in your real environment before large deployment — metal interference varies.
