Every File, Findable in Seconds.
Legal practice, banking, hospitals, government offices — every critical file matters. Identium’s RFID File Tracking tags each file jacket with a UHF label and tracks it through shelves, desks, and meeting rooms. Lost files become impossible.

Specifying a File Tracking System: Frequency, Tag Placement and Read Control
File and document tracking is a passive UHF application. In India that means the 865–867 MHz band — which, as of 2026, the WPC keeps delicensed for low-power RFID; the BIS and WPC compliance guide covers the current position — and EPC Gen2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63) tags, marketed as RAIN RFID. The reason is distance and bulk: auditing a records room means sweeping a whole rack of file jackets in a pass rather than handling each one, and a handheld should pick a file out at a working distance rather than by touch. HF at 13.56 MHz and NFC read at very short range — centimetres, by design — which is right for the staff card tapped at the issue counter, but not for finding a file on a shelf you are standing away from.
Two physical constraints decide how a records room actually performs. A thick block of paper absorbs UHF energy, more so when it is damp, so the label belongs on the outer face of the jacket near the spine, never sandwiched inside the file. And when jackets are shelved spine to spine, identically placed tags sit directly on top of one another and couple, which pulls reads down; staggering label position across a few fixed offsets within a batch stops adjacent tags from stacking.
| Where the file lives | Suitable tag | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Card or board jackets on wooden or plastic shelving | Thin UHF label, such as the H10 label above | Low profile, and prints and encodes in one pass on an RFID label printer |
| Files in steel almirahs or metal racks | On-metal UHF tag, or a label lifted off the surface by a foam spacer | Flat labels detune badly against steel |
| Archive cartons in long-term storage | A carton-level label as well as the file-level labels inside | An audit can reconcile carton counts first and open a box only where the two disagree |
| Bound registers and thick ledgers | Label on the outer cover, not an inner page | Keeps the paper block out of the signal path |
Read control matters as much as read range. A doorway portal at full power will happily read the rack standing behind it, so plan for tuned transmit power, circular-polarised antennas aimed across the opening rather than into the room, and an RSSI threshold before a movement is logged as a real event. At the issue counter, a confined read zone — a lower-gain antenna, or a desktop reader — keeps the system from claiming files that are merely nearby. What range you actually get depends on the jacket, the shelving and the antenna layout, so a short site trial on your own files and racking before rollout is worth the time.
One point specific to legal and banking records: encode an opaque serial into EPC memory and resolve it to the case or account number in your own database. Gen2 memory can be password-locked against rewriting, but the EPC a tag broadcasts is readable by any compliant reader that comes in range, so it should never carry the file’s actual identity.
