Xerafy - RTI OUTDOOR (EU)

UV-resistant and compact – RFID for returnable transport items in outdoor use

Returnable transport items are often in circulation for years – and with them every tag that identifies them. When these containers spend most of their lifecycle outdoors, stored in yards or covering long shipping routes, one factor becomes the lifespan killer for standard tags: UV radiation. The Xerafy RTI OUTDOOR X0352-EU100-R6P is the answer. This variant of the Xerafy OUTDOOR series is equipped with a dedicated anti-UV industry-grade polymer housing that significantly delays material embrittlement from prolonged sun exposure, extending tag service life on returnable assets in a tangible way. If you already operate a UHF | RAIN – RFID reader in RTI management, production logistics or at the yard gate, this is the right pick within the OUTDOOR line.

Inside, the Impinj Monza R6-P IC delivers 48-bit TID, 128/96-bit EPC and 32/64-bit user memory. The R6-P is a widely deployed industrial chip in logistics, known for high sensitivity and strong dense-reader performance – a tangible advantage at yard gates where many returnable containers have to be captured in a short window. In the EU 865–868 MHz band, the tag reaches up to 12 m read range on metal and up to 4 m off metal, which is the right distance for RTI capture at sorting gates, loading docks and collection points.

Measuring 73.30 x 22.80 x 8.65 mm and weighing just 11 g, the RTI OUTDOOR is more compact than the mid-size Cargo OUTDOOR and clearly positions itself as a specialised returnable tag. Survival temperature spans −40 °C to +85 °C, compression strength sits at 180 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:

• X0352-EU100-R6P – Xerafy RTI OUTDOOR in the EU configuration for 865–868 MHz with Impinj Monza R6-P IC, 128/96-bit EPC and 32/64-bit user memory. Form factor 73.30 x 22.80 x 8.65 mm at 11 g, anti-UV industry-grade polymer housing, IP68 rated, survival temperature −40 °C to +85 °C, 180 kPa compression strength. Read range up to 12 m on metal and 4 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 management, production logistics, yard management and long-distance shipping with long tag service times outdoors.

The key difference compared to the other OUTDOOR variants lies in the material and lifespan profile: while the Container OUTDOOR targets maximum read range, the Cargo OUTDOOR with stainless steel carrier plate covers the mechanically stressed mid segment and the Flex OUTDOOR is optimised for curved surfaces, the RTI OUTDOOR is consistently engineered through its UV resistance for long-term outdoor deployment on returnable assets.

Technical Highlights

• EPC Gen2 / ISO/IEC 18000-63 compliant – works with all common UHF RFID readers and reader platforms
• Impinj Monza R6-P IC with 128/96-bit EPC and 32/64-bit user memory – high sensitivity for dense-tag capture
• Up to 12 m read range on metal and 4 m off metal – fit for RTI gates and yard sorting points
• Anti-UV polymer housing – delayed material embrittlement for multi-year tag service times outdoors
• IP68 rating, 180 kPa compression strength, versatile attachment via M3 rivets, M3 screws, zip ties, cable ties or industrial adhesive

Applications

• RTI management – RFID identification of returnable transport items in closed-loop systems
• Production logistics – traceability of carriers between plants, sites and suppliers
• Yard management – inventory control and location assignment in open-air storage
• Long-distance shipping – durable tag performance despite changing climate zones and UV exposure

The Xerafy RTI OUTDOOR is the variant within the OUTDOOR line that defines itself not through a single peak technical metric but through its lifespan in outdoor deployment. While most outdoor tags develop visible discolouration, embrittlement or cracking after several summers of intense sun exposure, the anti-UV polymer housing delays exactly these ageing effects – an aspect that fully pays off economically only in the second or third season of service.

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 and RTI return stations, tunnel antennas above sorting conveyors 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 flexible attachment to different container and carrier shapes.
