Xerafy - ROSWELL Autoclavable

Stainless steel tag for sterilisation and hygiene zones – RFID built for autoclave and washdown

The Xerafy ROSWELL Autoclavable X1114-EU143-H9 brings together two worlds that are usually addressed separately: the heavy-industrial tag architecture of the ROSWELL series and the cleaning and sterilisation requirements found in medical devices, food processing and healthcare logistics. The result is a UHF RFID hard tag that not only handles welding points, vibration and mechanical stress, but also withstands steam sterilisation, high-pressure hot-water cleaning and aggressive disinfectants without losing performance. If you already operate a UHF | RAIN – RFID reader in CSSD areas, sterile goods logistics or hygienic asset identification, this variant is the standard answer.

Inside, the Alien Higgs 9 IC delivers 48-bit TID, 96-bit EPC and 688-bit user memory. The user memory provides enough room to store not only the asset ID but also sterilisation cycles, batch numbers, cleaning status or maintenance dates directly on the tag – a valuable advantage for MDR-compliant documentation in medical devices and HACCP-compliant traceability in food processing. In the EU 865–868 MHz band, the tag reaches up to 5 m read range on metal, which covers wide-area capture scenarios at CSSD airlocks, sterile goods storage and production lines.

The housing concept is built around stainless steel combined with a high-performance engineered polymer. This construction delivers extreme corrosion resistance against cleaning and disinfection agents, high mechanical strength and – unlike the aluminum variant of the ROSWELL line – suitability for hygiene-critical environments. Compression strength reaches a remarkable 7,900 kPa, survival temperature spans −40 °C to +250 °C, and the combined IP68 and IP69K rating qualifies the tag for steam sterilisation and high-pressure hot-water cleaning.

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

• X1114-EU143-H9 – Xerafy ROSWELL Autoclavable in the EU configuration for 865–868 MHz, equipped with Alien Higgs 9 IC, 688-bit user memory and a housing built from stainless steel and a high-performance engineered polymer. Dimensions 48 x 28 x 13.50 mm at 44 g, IP68 and IP69K rated, survival temperature -40 °C to +250 °C, 7,900 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 sterilisable surgical trays, medical devices, oil and gas valve control and wellhead management, food processing as well as automotive manufacturing with elevated cleaning requirements.

The key difference compared to its sibling ROSWELL (aluminum build with Alien Higgs 3) lies in the material and sterilisation strategy: instead of focusing on lightweight design and maximum EPC capacity, the Autoclavable variant relies on stainless steel, the Higgs 9 chip with 688-bit user memory and the combined IP68 + IP69K protection. Compression strength is also nearly ten times higher than the aluminum model – a clear indicator of the different material characteristic of the stainless steel housing.

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 sterilisation cycles, batch numbers and maintenance status
• Up to 5 m read range on metal – wide-area capture at CSSD airlocks and production lines
• 7,900 kPa compression strength, survival up to +250 °C, combined IP68 and IP69K rating
• Stainless steel housing with engineered polymer, attached via welding, M4 rivets, M4 screws or cable ties

Applications

• Sterilisable surgical trays and medical devices – autoclave-proof identification for MDR-compliant reprocessing
• Oil and gas valve control and wellhead management – corrosion-resistant tag attachment on fittings
• Food processing plants – HACCP-compliant identification on machines and containers with high-pressure washdown
• Automotive manufacturing – tag attachment on fixtures with elevated cleaning requirements

The Xerafy ROSWELL Autoclavable closes a specific gap within the ROSWELL line: it is the choice for applications where the heavy-industrial form factor and read range of the ROSWELL architecture meet the cleaning and sterilisation requirements coming from medical devices and food processing. While the standard ROSWELL focuses on aluminum construction and maximum EPC capacity, and the XPLORER variants of the series are designed for embedded snap-in mounting in pipework, the Autoclavable variant covers the hygienically demanding segment.

Thanks to its EPC Gen2 compliance, the tag integrates seamlessly into existing UHF | RAIN – RFID infrastructures. It works reliably with fixed readers at CSSD airlocks, tunnel antennas above production conveyors 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 even in tight reprocessing rooms.
