Xerafy - NANO Plus (EU)

Up to 6 m on metal – RFID for MRO, WIP and IT asset tracking

When an industrial hard tag needs to deliver real value through read range, the Xerafy NANO Plus X1120-EU101-H9 is the right answer. This variant marks the upper end of the read-range spectrum within the PICO line, delivering up to 6 m read distance on metal – numbers that would otherwise be expected from significantly larger UHF RFID hard tags. If you are labelling MRO tools in maintenance environments, WIP parts in production or IT assets in data centres and need reliable capture from several metres away, this variant closes exactly that gap.

Inside, the Alien Higgs 9 IC delivers 48-bit TID, 96-bit EPC and 688-bit user memory. The user memory capacity makes it possible to store maintenance history, service cycles, inventory status or location data directly on the asset – a valuable addition in classic MRO and IT asset management, where the inventory number alone is often not enough. In the EU 865–868 MHz band, the tag combines that memory capacity with the read range mentioned above of up to 6 m on metal, which easily covers gate reads, shelf scans and tunnel capture over conveyor trolleys.

Measuring 31.70 x 12.80 x 4.97 mm and weighing 5 g, the NANO Plus is the largest tag within the PICO line, yet still significantly more compact than classic full-size industrial hard tags. The industry-grade polymer housing delivers the mechanical shock resistance that is non-negotiable in mobile MRO and WIP scenarios.

The following part number is available in the IDCRAFT online shop – this variant is designed for a specific use case:

• X1120-EU101-H9 – Xerafy NANO Plus in the EU configuration for 865–868 MHz, equipped with Alien Higgs 9 IC, 688-bit user memory and an industry-grade polymer housing. Dimensions 31.70 x 12.80 x 4.97 mm at 5 g, IP68 rated, survival temperature -40 °C to +150 °C, 1,150 kPa compression strength. Read range up to 6 m on metal, attached via industrial adhesive. The right pick for European MRO workshops, manufacturing sites with WIP tracking and IT departments that need to identify servers, network hardware and tools reliably across longer distances.

The key difference compared to the more compact PICO variants lies in the read-range jump: at 6 m on metal, the NANO Plus doubles the read distance of the PICO On and PICO Plus without forcing a jump to a significantly larger form factor. For users who want to scale within the same series – from a mini tag on a hand tool to a gate reader at a warehouse exit – this variant covers the upper read-range tier.

Technical Highlights

• EPC Gen2 / ISO/IEC 18000-63 compliant – works with all common UHF RFID readers and reader platforms
• Alien Higgs 9 IC with 688-bit user memory – stores maintenance history, inventory status and location data
• Up to 6 m read range on metal – the longest read range within the Xerafy PICO line
• IP68 rating, survival up to +150 °C, 1,150 kPa compression strength
• Industry-grade polymer housing 31.70 x 12.80 x 4.97 mm at 5 g, attached via industrial adhesive

Applications

• MRO workshops and maintenance – RFID tracking of maintenance tools and equipment
• Manufacturing WIP – traceability of components across multi-stage production flows
• IT asset management – capture of servers, network hardware and data centre equipment
• Tool pools and rental fleets – gate-based inventory with high read distances

The Xerafy NANO Plus is the right choice when the compact form factors of the PICO line hit their read-range limits, yet switching to a classic full-size industrial tag is not a structural or visual option. While the PICO Plus targets the middle ground between compactness and ruggedness, and the PICO Mini line is optimised for maximum miniaturisation, the NANO Plus consistently covers the long-range use case within the series.

Thanks to its EPC Gen2 compliance, the tag integrates seamlessly into existing UHF | RAIN – RFID infrastructures. It works reliably with fixed readers at warehouse and workshop gates, tunnel antennas above conveyor lines and mobile handheld scanners. There is no need to swap reader hardware or rework middleware – and the 6 m on-metal read range allows for lean antenna setups at the capture points.
