Key Features & Benefits
- 3M VHB Adhesive: Extreme Environment Reliability – Bonds to metal, plastic, glass, and uneven surfaces, resisting vibration, temperature swings (-40°C to 150°C), and moisture. Perfect for high-vibration machinery or chemical-exposed equipment.
- Penny-Sized Compactness – Just 20mm in diameter and 3mm thick, it attaches to compact tools without interfering with operations, addressing the question: “Is it small enough for my tools?”
- IP68 Waterproof & Chemical Resistant – PPS shell withstands water immersion (1m for 24hrs), dust, impacts, and chemicals, ensuring durability in wet, dirty, or outdoor environments.
- NXP ICODE SLI Chip: Broad Compatibility – NFC Forum Type 5 compliant, working with most legacy and third-party readers. Read range up to 10cm (varies by reader power), easing concerns about “NFC reliability with my existing readers.”
- Tool-Free, Mess-Free Installation – Easy-pull release liner lets you attach tags in seconds, leaving no residue and eliminating the need for tools.
Real-world Applications
Trusted by manufacturing plants, logistics providers, construction firms, and maintenance teams for:
- Asset Tracking – Tools, machinery, and equipment in factories, construction sites, and warehouses, even in dusty or rainy conditions.
- Preventive Maintenance – Log service history, inspection dates, and repair notes directly on the tag via NFC readers, streamlining maintenance scheduling.
- Inventory Management – Track high-value parts, pallets, or containers in outdoor yards or humid storage facilities without barcode scanning.
- Field Service – Quickly identify assets in the field, reducing manual errors and saving time on-site.
