The Identium CR400 is a miniature ceramic UHF RFID tag purpose-built for metal assets that ordinary labels cannot handle. At just 10 x 5 x 3 mm it tucks onto spanners, moulds, dies, surgical instruments, IT equipment and machine parts, yet the ceramic antenna design uses the metal surface to its advantage and still delivers around 2 m of read range from a fixed reader. With an IP68 sealed body and a -40 to +100 deg C operating window, it keeps reading through washdowns, oil, dust and outdoor exposure — conditions that destroy adhesive paper labels within weeks.

Who buys the CR400 in India
Most CR400 enquiries come from three kinds of buyers: plant maintenance teams tagging moulds, dies, pumps and valves; workshop and MRO stores rolling out RFID tool tracking for spanners and instruments; and IT or defence asset managers who need a metal-mount tag small enough for equipment where label space is tight. At 10 x 5 x 3 mm with an IP68 ceramic body and a -40 to +100 deg C operating window, it suits washdown, oily and outdoor environments where paper labels fail. Buyers comparing on-metal RFID tag prices in India typically shortlist it for the roughly 2 m read range on metal from a fixed reader.
