Xerafy - MICRO Paint Shop

RFID for the Paint Line - Temperature-Resistant & Reliable

Paint lines run continuously, and the tag attached to a skid has to keep pace. The Xerafy MICRO Paint Shop X1130-EU130-H9 is a UHF RFID hard tag developed specifically for identifying skids and workpiece carriers in paint shops. Pre-treatment, phosphating, e-coating, powder booths and curing ovens – every step takes its toll on standard tags. This variant of the Xerafy MICRO series is engineered exactly for that level of stress and keeps reading reliably across dozens of paint cycles.

Inside the housing, the Alien Higgs 9 IC delivers 48-bit TID, 96-bit EPC and 688-bit user memory – plenty of space to store more than just a skid ID. Recipe numbers, target film thickness or job priority can be written directly to the carrier and read with any EPC Gen2 compliant handheld or gate reader. In the EU 865–868 MHz band, the tag reaches up to 10 m read range on metal, which translates into reliable capture at section-to-section transfer points, oven entry and exit gates as well as during mobile checks with a handheld scanner.

Measuring 55 x 36.20 x 7.50 mm and weighing only 26 g, the tag fits unobtrusively onto existing skid designs. Survival temperature spans from −40 °C to +250 °C, compression strength sits at 1,250 kPa, and the IP68 rating seals the housing against jet water, paint mist and cleaning media. That is exactly the load profile where less robust tags tend to drop out of service.

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

• X1130-EU130-H9 – Xerafy MICRO Paint Shop in the EU configuration for 865–868 MHz, equipped with Alien Higgs 9 IC, 688-bit user memory and a 316L stainless steel insert. Engineered for repeated runs through e-coat tanks, powder booths and curing ovens up to +250 °C, with an IP68 rating. Mounted via M3 pop rivets or M3 screws, optionally with industrial adhesive. The right pick for European paint shops where skids and workpiece carriers must remain reliably identifiable over long service lives.

The housing combines industry-grade polymer with a 316L stainless steel insert – a build that delivers mechanical stiffness, stable RF behaviour and chemical resistance against cleaners, phosphating baths and paint media. M3 pop rivets or M3 screws provide permanent attachment, while industrial adhesive is available as an option for smooth carrier surfaces.

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 – room for paint recipes, skid IDs and job data
• Up to 10 m read range on metal – reliable capture at line gates and with mobile handheld readers
• Survival temperature up to +250 °C, 1,250 kPa compression – oven-proof for e-coat and powder coating processes
• IP68 rating, 316L stainless steel insert, mounted via pop rivets, M3 screws or industrial adhesive

Applications

• E-coating – chemical resistance against phosphating and immersion paint baths
• Powder coating – stable RFID capture despite electrostatic powder application
• Curing ovens and drying lines – oven-proof skid identification up to +250 °C
• Chemical pre-treatment – resistant to cleaners, degreasers and rinsing media

The Xerafy MICRO Paint Shop is the no-compromise choice for paint operations that want to digitise skid identification or replace fragile labelling solutions with process-grade RFID. Where conventional labels and barcode stickers become unreadable after just a few cycles, this tag provides consistent readability across the entire service life of a skid – cutting downtime caused by missing or damaged identifiers.

Thanks to its EPC Gen2 compliance, the tag integrates seamlessly into existing UHF | RAIN – RFID infrastructures. It works reliably with fixed readers at line gates, tunnel antennas above conveyors and mobile handheld scanners. There is no need to swap reader hardware or rework middleware, and the 10 m on-metal read range allows for lean antenna setups at line transitions.
