Xerafy, a leader in developing some of the smallest and most rugged EPC UHF RAIN RFID tags, has developed a high-performance Bendable RFID Tagging Solution for cylinders and curved surfaces with an impressive read range of up to 7 meters (22.97 ft) on metal surfaces and operating across global frequency bands: 902-928 MHz in the US and 865-868 MHz in the EU. The Xylinder OUT from Xerafy is a high-performance RFID solution designed specifically for verifying and quantifying industrial assets, engineered for large inventories of cylinders and other curved surfaces, combining durability, flexibility, and long-range readability in one compact form.
The Xylinder OUT tag is powered by the NXP UCODE 9 IC chip, offering 96 bits EPC memory and 96 bits TID memory, making it efficient for asset tracking and identification in demanding environments. Constructed from hardened, engineered silicone, the tag adapts seamlessly to curved assets such as LPG cylinders, industrial gas tanks, kegs, and fire extinguishers.
Tag's bendable structure allows for a perfect fit on non-flat surfaces, while the rugged build absorbs shocks, deflects impacts, and withstands harsh outdoor conditions. Designed with long-term durability in mind, the Xylinder OUT resists UV exposure, extreme temperatures, and high-pressure washdowns, with an IP69K rating that ensures protection against water and dust ingress.
The tag is also vibration- and shock-resistant, compliant with MIL-STD-810G standards, and can survive drops of up to 1 meter on concrete or granite. It maintains reliable performance in extreme operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C and survival temperatures up to +150°C, making it suitable for the most challenging industrial environments.
For integration, the Xylinder OUT offers secure mounting options using durable glue or industrial adhesives, ensuring strong attachment even in rough conditions. Having a small form factor of 60 x 41 x 8 mm (2.36 x 1.61 x 0.31 in) and weighing just 16.10 g, the tag remains lightweight yet robust, making it a cost-effective solution for enterprises managing large inventories of cylindrical or tubular assets.
With its combination of flexibility, toughness, and performance, the Xylinder OUT sets a new standard for RFID tagging on curved industrial assets. Whether used for LPG cylinders, industrial gas tanks, kegs, or fire extinguishers, it provides a scalable and reliable solution that enhances asset management efficiency in outdoor and rugged environments.
