RFID for Information Technology:
Computers and Data Centers

The science of IT partnered with Metalcraft’s engineering solutions = top results

From computers, copiers and printers to security cameras, server racks and more,& IT and office equipment inventory can easily be handled by Metalcraft’s asset tracking solutions. In particular, data centers are constantly in motion, rearranging server racks, upgrading equipment, bringing in cooling systems and more. Keeping an updated inventory and tracking new (and retired) assets doesn’t need to slow you down.

When using the right asset tracking technology for your application, you can help:

  • Keep track of inventory automatically
  • Receive and assign goods, knowing where everything is
  • Reduce unnecessary equipment purchases
  • Discourage theft

Understanding what the equipment you’re tracking goes through, the environment and different surfaces will help get your application the right asset management technology. And if the solution is not available now, we can customize and create one that is exactly right for you. These types of innovations are what make our IT solutions ID Made Better®.

A great alternative to metal mount applications where a standoff will not work, Metalcraft’s RFID Server Rack Tag consists of an adhesive label that protects the encapsulated RFID inlay and a non-adhesive, folding tab that offsets the RFID inlay.

A versatile and affordable RFID tag made in the USA to fit a wide array of on-metal and standard applications, the Universal MC RFID Tag is available both preprinted and onsite printable to handle whatever asset tagging application you have.

Perfect for tracking returnable containers such as pallets, crates or totes, Metalcraft’s Standard RFID Tag attaches directly to non-metal assets.

The only thing “mini” about this tag is its size! With a smaller footprint and lower profile, the Onsite Printable Universal Mini RFID Tag easily fits where other tags may be too large and obtrusive and still gives incredible read ranges compared to other tags in its class.

The Universal Micro RFID Tag measuring 1 7/8” x 5/8” is a great solution to your identification projects that require a small RFID tag with great read range.

The only thing “mini” about this tag is its size! With a smaller footprint and lower profile, the Universal Mini RFID Tag easily fits where other tags may be too large and obtrusive and still gives incredible read ranges compared to other tags in its class.

The closest thing you will find to a "one-size-fits-all” RFID solution! The Universal RFID Asset Tag is a surface-independent tag that uses a patented inlay design and passive RFID technology to obtain excellent read ranges regardless of the surface – metal, plastic, even wood.
