What is this product?
Designed to solve a longstanding industry challenge, this NFC tag combines anti-tamper detection with reliable on-metal performance—a first-of-its-kind solution. If you’ve searched for “anti-tamper NFC tag for metal surfaces” or “NFC tag that works on metal and detects tampering,” this is your answer. It leverages NXP’s NTAG213 chip to bridge the gap between fragile tamper-sensitive designs and bulky on-metal shields, ensuring secure tracking and tamper alerts on metal surfaces.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Function Reliability: Detects tampering (irreparable damage on removal) while maintaining strong NFC performance on metal—no trade-offs between security and usability.
- NXP NTAG213 Chip: Trusted industry standard for fast, consistent reads (up to 48mm range) and 144 bytes of user memory for asset data, maintenance logs, or authentication details.
- Engineered Materials: Flexible ferrite sheet shields against metal interference, while a PET layer ensures tamper sensitivity. Adhesive backing allows easy, permanent attachment.
- Clear Tamper Evidence: Any attempt to remove or alter the tag causes visible and electronic damage, making tampering impossible to hide—no false positives or ambiguity.
Real-world Applications
Built for B2B sectors needing secure metal asset management, this tag excels in:
- Industrial Asset Tracking: Secure high-value metal machinery, tools, or medical devices—track location and detect unauthorized access.
- Supply Chain Security: Tamper-evident labeling for metal parts, components, or finished goods in transit, ensuring integrity from factory to end-user.
- Anti-Counterfeiting: Authenticate luxury metal goods or industrial components with non-replicable tamper alerts, preventing fakes.
- Maintenance Logging: Attach to metal equipment for tamper-proof records of inspections, repairs, or calibrations—no data tampering risks.
