Rugged RFID tag designed for demanding outdoor environments
The Cargo Tag from Motorola is an all-weather RFID tag designed for the most demanding outdoor applications. With the durability required for 24-hour-a-day outdoor exposure in most environmental conditions, this robust tag offers proven tolerance of natural and incandescent light, vibration, shock, rain, dust, oil and chemical resistance, and more. This Gen 2 EPC™-compliant tag delivers accurate and reliable read performance of up to 40 feet/12.19m, enabling you to achieve maximum benefits in RFID cargo and asset tracking applications.
Maximum flexibility
Full mounting flexibility ensures the ability to install the tag wherever needed — the integral back plate can be secured with either an adhesive or metal screws. And a recessed area for a bar code label ensures your ability to track and scan cargo and assets end-to-end, with bar code or RFID fixed, mobile or handheld data capture devices.
High performance…low maintenance
The Cargo Tag is designed with Motorola technology innovations that deliver outstanding performance and reliability. Signals are easier to read via patented inlay technology that improves RF efficiency. The tag is tuned to utilize the aluminum back plate to improve the signal. The integrated antenna is designed to deliver superior read range. And since there is no battery to change, this passive tag is maintenance free, reducing the time and cost associated with replacing batteries in active tags — and eliminating any loss of read capability in your system due to a dead tag battery.
A world of uses
Together with Motorola’s full suit of RFID reader options — from fixed and mobile to handhelds — this rugged tag provides the ideal solution for a variety of industries and applications, such as:
Transportation (trucking): cargo container identification/tracking, yard/fleet management, express delivery vehicle identification, and vehicle and trailer tracking
Aerospace/marine/rail: Cargo container tracking, supply container identification, and rail freight car identification/tracking
Government (federal, state, local): Mass transit (light rail car) identification, municipal utility/passenger fleet management, military vehicle identification, and supply container tracking
Since the Cargo Tag utilizes EPC Gen 2 passive technology, you can count on dependable maintenance-free performance for many years to come. From simple yard management to global tracking of containers, the Cargo Tag from Motorola helps you get the most out of your RFID solution.
