HID Keg Tag

HID Keg Tag

Ruggedized RAIN® RFID or NFC tags to optimize the lifecycle of rounded steel containers

Keg Tag transponders enhance the inventory tracking and lifecycle management of cylindrical returnable transport items (RTI), such as beverage kegs, chemical drums and gas cylinders. Keg Tag transponders mount via welding on steel kegs and are slightly curved for optimal fit.

The RFID tags are built to withstand rigorous washing and sterilization processes, including the use of caustic soda. Durable, double injected, full plastic housings guard the enclosed electronics against exposure to liquids and harsh chemicals, as well as fluctuations in temperature.

Awex Protects Wool Bale Integrity & Traceability WITH RFID TAGS

The Electronic Wool Bale As of July 2023, all new wool packs in Australia have been equipped with an eBale tag. In cooperation with HID, the Australian Wool Exchange (Awex) has implemented an RFID system to protect wool bale integrity and traceability. The RFID tags are attached to each wool bale and contain a unique identifier that can be read by RFID readers. The implementation of the RFID system is a major step forward for the Australian wool industry. It will help to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and security of the supply chain, and it will ultimately benefit wool growers, processors, and consumers. With the RFID tags, tracing each wool bale in Awex has become a lot simpler. Success Story powered by: the Think WIOT Group, the Australian Wool Exchange (Awex) and HID.

Mayo Clinic Launches Staff Duress Solution for 7,000 Employees

Safety for Hospital Staff WITH BLE AND RTLS Mayo Clinic deployed a mobile solution for emergency situations based on BluFi, BLE and RTLS technology at its hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. To protect employees from violent or threatening situations, and to avoid calling out patients and their families, 7,000 employees on the Rochester campus of Mayo Clinic received a badge. This badge is equipped with an emergency button and an integrated BLE beacon. In the event of a critical situation, each employee can be located so that help can be provided immediately. HID's software and hardware components are combined with the clinic's implemented RTLS infrastructure. Success Story powered by: the Think WIOT Group, Mayo Clinic and HID.
