Embeddable RFID Tags

Integrate tiny, versatile RFID tags into a wide range of objects and materials to provide security and efficiency, no matter the industry.

Simple & Unobtrusive Embeddable RFID Tags

From high-end, sapphire glass for watches to key fobs, embeddable RFID tags allow manufacturers to seamlessly integrate tracking and monitoring capabilities into their products. This innovative technology provides even more value when it comes to anti-counterfeiting and customer interaction.

Seamless Integration of Embeddable RFID Tags

These RFID tags can be discreetly embedded into items like clothing, products, tools, medical devices, equipment, packaging and other assets without altering appearance or functionality, allowing for built-in tracking and monitoring.

Real-Time Tracking and Visibility Using Embedded RFID Tags

Embeddable RFID tags offer real-time tracking and visibility, enabling businesses and individuals to monitor the location and status of tagged items with precision.

Enhanced Security and Authentication Using Embeddable RFID

With embeddable RFID tags, you can bolster the protection of sensitive areas, assets or information by granting or restricting access to specific locations or resources.

Embeddable RFID for a Multitude of Solutions &
Tag Designs

HID’s extensive experience with tagging solutions of all kinds allows manufacturers to save time and expense in design and production to focus entirely on providing customer solutions. Using a variety of integrated chips, we offer a range of embeddable RFID tags in various form factors and at all standard frequencies, leaving no visible evidence in finished products.

HID’s patented direct bonding technology enables extremely small embeddable tag options — including ring designs, if needed. Our engineers can also help design transponders for special use cases.

Application examples:

Consumables (e.g., filters, cartridges or gas canisters)
Medical tools (e.g., drills)
Other tools (e.g., nail guns)
Cable plugs
Car keys
Plastic boxes for transporting goods
Branded merchandise
High-end clothing and shoes
Sports equipment

The Benefits of HID’s Patented DBond™ Technology

DBond technology, also known as “direct bonding,” is a means to directly connect an RFID wire antenna to a micro-sized chip without the need for bulky module housing or additional soldering material. DBond allows the creation of smaller and thinner RFID-based products, which are more reliable and easier to process than standard RFID products. Our high frequency (HF) direct bonding enables the creation of ultra-thin products that can be embedded into the sapphire glass of watches.

The E-Unit Disc tag (above right) has an NFC chip so small that it is virtually invisible to the naked eye when bonded to the high-end watch’s sapphire glass.

Embeddable RFID Tags — How Small Is Too Small?

HID’s embeddable RFID tags come in tiny form factors, making them perfect for seamless integration into very small items. Embeddable RFID tags are ideal for installation into small tools, pieces of technology and tiny assets that need to be tracked, as well as luxury items like high-end watches to prevent counterfeiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are embeddable RFID tags?

Embeddable RFID tags are small, wireless devices that can be discreetly integrated into various objects and materials to enable tracking, monitoring and identification.

2. How do embeddable RFID tags work?

These tags consist of a microchip and an antenna. When exposed to an RFID reader's radio waves, the tag's microchip transmits data stored on the chip back to the reader, allowing for item identification and data retrieval.

3. What are the primary applications of embeddable RFID tags?

Embeddable RFID tags find applications in asset tracking, inventory management, access control, supply chain optimization, livestock tracking, and more. They are used in various industries, including logistics, healthcare, and retail.

4. Are embeddable RFID tags durable?

Embeddable RFID tags can be designed for durability, depending on their intended use. Some are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, while others are more suitable for indoor or less demanding settings.

5. Can I embed RFID tags in clothing or fabrics?

Yes, embeddable RFID tags can be integrated into clothing and fabrics without compromising comfort or appearance. This is commonly done for tracking apparel in the fashion and retail industries.

6. What is the difference between passive and active embeddable RFID tags?

Passive RFID tags do not have an internal power source and rely on the energy from the RFID reader for communication. Active RFID tags have their own power source, enabling them to transmit data at greater distances and more frequently.

7. Can embeddable RFID tags be customized with specific data?

Yes, many embeddable RFID tags can be programmed with custom data, such as serial numbers or product information, to suit specific tracking and identification needs.

8. Can embeddable RFID tags be used for asset maintenance and condition monitoring?

Yes, embeddable RFID tags are used for asset maintenance and condition monitoring. They can track and record data about an asset's usage, maintenance history, and operational status, which aids in preventive maintenance and troubleshooting.

9. Can embeddable RFID tags be used for consumer applications, like tracking personal items?

Yes, embeddable RFID tags can be used for personal applications such as tracking personal items, provided the user is aware of and consents to their use. They can help locate lost items like keys or wallets and even monitor the movement of pets.

10. Can embeddable RFID tags be used for medical and healthcare applications?

Yes, embeddable RFID tags are used in healthcare for applications such as patient tracking, inventory management of medical supplies, and monitoring the temperature of sensitive medications and samples.
