This latest tag is made of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPV) housing, a flexible but robust material widely used for automobile hoses. Built by an overmolding process, it can be used in harsh environments and delivers read ranges from 26 ft (8 m) to 32 ft (10 m) while being mounted on a non-metal surface.
Bound with a cable tie through two holes, it can be easily attached to any rounded or irregular surface. In th case of tagging a metallic object, the tag can be tied in one hole only and to make like a flag configuration to avoid any interference. And for visual identification or branding, this tag can be marked by laser with a logo, UID number or even barcode for permanent use, with non-fading graphics. With all these features, the UHF flexible tag provides more possibilities for UHF tagging.
