Xerafy - ROSWELL

Heavy-duty industrial tag with 5 m read range – RFID for harsh environments

When a UHF RFID hard tag has to survive welding points, vibration, aggressive cleaning chemistry and continuous loads for years, the Xerafy ROSWELL X1114-EU101-H3 is where the conversation starts. This variant of the Xerafy ROSWELL series was specifically engineered for heavy industrial applications where standard polymer tags hit their limits: oil and gas valve control, wellhead management, food processing and automotive manufacturing. If you operate a UHF | RAIN – RFID reader at gate stations, inspection points or maintenance areas, this tag delivers the ruggedness that these environments demand as a baseline.

Inside, the Alien Higgs 3 IC delivers 64-bit TID, 96/480-bit EPC and 512-bit user memory. The Higgs 3 is a proven UHF IC with years of industrial track record, particularly known for stable performance at long read distances on metal. In the EU 865-868 MHz band, the tag reaches up to 5 m read range on metal – one of the highest values across the entire Xerafy industrial tag family and the right profile for gate reads, conveyor lines and wide-area asset tracking.

The housing concept combines an aluminum body with a high-performance engineered polymer. The aluminum build cuts weight to 21 g compared to the stainless steel ROSWELL Autoclavable variant at 44 g – which matters when tags have to be mounted on many valves or components without affecting their static load profile. Compression strength sits at 793 kPa, survival temperature spans −40 °C to +250 °C, and the IP68 rating seals the housing against dust and continuous water exposure.

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

• X1114-EU101-H3 – Xerafy ROSWELL in the EU configuration for 865–868 MHz, equipped with Alien Higgs 3 IC, 512-bit user memory and 96/480-bit EPC capacity. Aluminum housing combined with a high-performance engineered polymer, dimensions 48 x 28 x 13.50 mm at 21 g, IP68 rated, survival temperature −40 °C to +250 °C, 793 kPa compression strength. Read range up to 5 m on metal, attachment via welding, M4 rivets, M4 screws or cable ties. The right pick for European users in oil and gas valve control, wellhead management, food processing and automotive manufacturing.

The key difference compared to its sibling ROSWELL Autoclavable lies in the material and performance profile: while the Autoclavable variant uses a stainless steel housing and the Alien Higgs 9 chip and is engineered for IP69K cleaning and medical use, the ROSWELL X1114-EU101-H3 optimises for lower weight, classic IP68 industrial protection and the proven Higgs 3 chip with extended 480-bit EPC capacity – ideal for asset-intensive scenarios with high tag volumes.

Technical Highlights

• EPC Gen2 / ISO/IEC 18000-63 compliant – works with all common UHF RFID readers and reader platforms
• Alien Higgs 3 IC with 96/480-bit EPC and 512-bit user memory – extended EPC capacity for serialised mass rollouts
• Up to 5 m read range on metal – longest read range in the ROSWELL line for gate and lane capture
• Survival temperature up to +250 °C, 793 kPa compression strength, IP68 rating
• Aluminum housing with engineered polymer, attached via welding, M4 rivets, M4 screws or cable ties

Applications

• Oil and gas valve control and wellhead management – stable identification on fittings and control units
• Food processing plants – durable tag attachment on machines, containers and conveyor components
• Automotive manufacturing – tracking of fixtures, carriers and large parts in production lines
• Heavy industry and plant maintenance – tag attachment via welding on steel structures and plant components

The Xerafy ROSWELL is the variant within the ROSWELL line for classic heavy industrial applications where read range, temperature resistance and a broad set of mounting options matter more than autoclave cleaning or medical suitability. The combination of welding, rivet, screw and cable-tie mounting gives you the flexibility to deploy the same tag type across very different application areas – a tangible advantage for RFID hardware standardisation.

Thanks to its EPC Gen2 compliance, the tag integrates seamlessly into existing UHF | RAIN – RFID infrastructures. It works reliably with fixed readers at gate stations, tunnel antennas above conveyor lines and mobile handheld scanners. There is no need to swap reader hardware or rework middleware – and the 5 m on-metal read range allows for lean antenna setups at the capture points, reducing infrastructure overhead.
