Xerafy - Cargo OUTDOOR (EU)

Outdoor in mid-size format – RFID for RTI, transport and yard operations

Returnable transport containers, construction containers and yard equipment spend their lives outdoors: sun, rain, frost, salt spray, impacts during loading and unloading, hard stacking cycles. The Xerafy Cargo OUTDOOR X03A3-EU100-M750 is engineered exactly for this profile. This variant of the Xerafy OUTDOOR series combines an industry-grade polymer housing with a stainless steel carrier plate, delivering the mechanical and thermal ruggedness that yard operations call for every single day. If you operate a UHF | RAIN – RFID reader at yard gates, loading stations or mobile inspection points, the Cargo OUTDOOR is the right mid-range variant within the OUTDOOR line.

Inside, the Impinj M750 IC delivers 96-bit TID, 96-bit EPC and 32-bit user memory. The M750 is one of the most modern UHF ICs on the market and provides particularly fast, accurate capture – a clear advantage at gates with high tag throughput, at loading docks and in yard-sweep scenarios with mobile readers. In the EU 865–868 MHz band, the tag reaches up to 12 m read range on metal and up to 6 m off metal – values that match most transport and RTI scenarios precisely, without forcing reader configurations to over-specify for maximum range.

Measuring 100 x 26 x 8.90 mm and weighing 17.80 g, the Cargo OUTDOOR positions itself squarely between the larger Container OUTDOOR (139 mm length, 41 g) and the smaller sibling models RTI OUTDOOR and Flex OUTDOOR. Survival temperature spans -40 °C to +85 °C, compression strength sits at 200 kPa, 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:

• X03A3-EU100-M750 – Xerafy Cargo OUTDOOR in the EU configuration for 865–868 MHz with Impinj M750 IC, 96-bit EPC and 32-bit user memory. Form factor 100 x 26 x 8.90 mm at 17.80 g, industry-grade polymer housing with stainless steel carrier plate, IP68 rated, survival temperature −40 °C to +85 °C, 200 kPa compression strength. Read range up to 12 m on metal and 6 m off metal, attachment via M3 rivets, M3 screws, zip ties, cable ties or industrial adhesive as an option. The right pick for European users in RTI inventory, transport and logistics, yard management and for identification of construction tools and jobsite equipment.

The key difference compared to the other OUTDOOR variants lies in the material and read-range positioning: while the Container OUTDOOR targets maximum read range (up to 20 m on metal) for large containers, the RTI OUTDOOR with anti-UV polymer is optimised for pure returnable management and the Flex OUTDOOR is designed for curved surfaces such as gas cylinders, the Cargo OUTDOOR covers the mid segment – with the additional stainless steel carrier plate giving it particularly high mechanical stability.

Technical Highlights

• EPC Gen2 / ISO/IEC 18000-63 compliant – works with all common UHF RFID readers and reader platforms
• Impinj M750 IC with 96-bit EPC – modern IC generation with high sensitivity for dense-tag capture
• Up to 12 m read range on metal and 6 m off metal – balanced for gate reads and yard sweeps
• IP68 rating, 200 kPa compression strength, survival up to +85 °C
• Industry-grade polymer housing with stainless steel carrier plate, versatile attachment via M3 rivets, M3 screws, zip ties, cable ties or industrial adhesive

Applications

• RTI inventory – RFID tracking of returnable transport items in closed-loop systems
• Transport and logistics – identification of freight units at gates and transhipment points
• Yard management – inventory control and location assignment in open-air storage
• Construction tools and jobsite equipment – rugged tag attachment despite weather and impact loads

The Xerafy Cargo OUTDOOR is the variant within the OUTDOOR line for applications where neither the maximum read range of the Container OUTDOOR nor the compact returnable specialisation of the RTI OUTDOOR is the perfect fit. With its balanced read-range profile, M750-based capture speed and the additional stainless steel carrier plate, it covers the mechanically demanding mid segment of outdoor asset identification – exactly the segment where most transport and yard applications actually operate.

Thanks to its EPC Gen2 compliance, the tag integrates seamlessly into existing UHF | RAIN – RFID infrastructures. It works reliably with fixed readers at yard gates, tunnel antennas above loading docks and forklift-mounted as well as mobile handheld scanners. There is no need to swap reader hardware or rework middleware – and the versatile mounting options allow fast adaptation to different container, bin and tool shapes.
