RFID gives tyre makers and fleet operators something a barcode never can: every tyre carries a unique, machine-readable identity that survives the factory floor and the road. Identium supplies UHF tyre tags and readers for tyre manufacturing, distribution and fleet management in India.
Where RFID fits in the tyre lifecycle
- Work-in-progress tracking — identify each unit as it moves between building, curing and inspection, so the stage and history of every tyre is visible. See Manufacturing & WIP.
- Finished goods and dispatch — read entire stillages of tyres at the dock door without line-of-sight, and verify that the right SKUs leave on the right truck.
- Warranty and anti-counterfeit — a serialised tyre ID links each unit to its production batch for claims, recalls and grey-market checks.
- Fleet and retread management — record mounted position, rotations, tread inspections and retread cycles against each tyre’s history.
- Mould and tooling identification — heat-resistant tags keep curing moulds and fixtures on the maintenance register.
Tags and readers built for tyres
Our UHF tyre tag (model UTTR6, 95 × 35 × 2 mm) mounts on the inside of the tyre and reads at up to 3 m — see rugged RFID tags for specifications. At gates, conveyors and dock doors we deploy fixed UHF readers, with handheld readers for yard counts and inspections.
