China Suppliers Factory Concrete Integration UHF RFID Tags for Embedded Use in Construction
Product description
When you need to use RFID for special industry management, such as cement product management, this RFID tag will be the perfect choice; It can be embedded in concrete or cement and can withstand the harsh conditions of the construction process, ensuring accurate and consistent communication throughout the lifecycle of the structure.
Wireless Communication
This tag is built to communicate wirelessly, transmitting not only the ID number of the RFID chip but also the digitalized output of a strain gauge sensor embedded in the concrete.
Experimental Read Ranges
Experimental read ranges are measured from a handheld UHF RFID reader, with reading possible up to 50 cm from the surface of a mortar block for a tag embedded 5 cm below the surface.
Compact Size
The overall tag size is 46.5x31.5mm, which is comparable to the volume of the largest aggregates used in the concrete industry, ensuring practical integration into concrete structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this RFID tag be embedded directly into concrete?
Yes, this RFID tag is specifically designed to be embedded in concrete or cement. It is built to withstand the harsh physical conditions and chemical processes of construction, ensuring reliable tracking throughout the structure's lifecycle.
Q2: What is the read range of this tag when embedded in concrete?
Using a handheld reader, the read range is up to 2.2 meters for US frequency (902-928MHz) and 2.1 meters for EU frequency (865-868MHz) when embedded at a depth of 5cm. When embedded at a depth of 10cm, the read range is up to 2.0 meters (US) and 1.9 meters (EU).
Q3: What frequencies and protocols does the RFID tag support?
The tag supports both US (902-928MHz) and EU (865-868MHz) bands, and complies fully with the ISO18000-6C (EPC global UHF Class 1 Gen 2) protocol.
Q4: What material is the tag made of, and what is its durability?
The tag is housed in PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) material, which offers exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability. It features an IP68 protection rating, allowing it to operate in temperatures from -25°C to +100°C and survive storage temperatures from -40°C to +150°C.
Q5: Can the RFID chip type be customized?
Yes, while the standard configuration uses the Alien Higgs-3 chip, other chips such as Monza M4QT, Monza R6, and UCODE 7XM+ can be customized based on your project requirements.
