Example Applications

Where RFID Goes to Work

A few examples of applications we've worked with. Don't see your industry? Reach out and see how RFID can improve your process.

  • Production & Logistics

    Production control and container tracking on automotive assembly lines and paint shops.

  • Keg & Container

    Keg and barrel logistics from filling to return, tagged with a transponder that travels with the container.

  • Semiconductor

    SEMI-compliant readers, glass tags, and multipage transponders for fab and cleanroom tracking.

  • Service & Inventory

    Permanent equipment ID where serial plates and labels fade, peel, or go missing.

  • Access & Security

    Keyfobs and access transponders for controlled entry.

  • Custom Solutions

    Tailor-made transponders, readers, and antennas when the standard catalog doesn't fit.

Unified Information Devices AEG ID

Industrial RFID Since 1989

AEG ID has designed and built industrial RFID in Germany since 1989. Now part of UID, the same catalog covers custom builds and drop-in replacements for lines already running.

  • Custom Products

    UID and AEG ID lead the industry in custom RFID, engineering application-specific transponders, readers, and antennas from initial design through final assembly.

  • Drop-In Replacements

    Running a discontinued tag or reader? We build replacements to the same footprint, so nothing else in your line has to change.

The catalog

Transponders, Readers, and Antennas for Any Industry

  • Glass & Disc Transponders

    Compact writable tags for boxes, pallets, and containers. Disc transponders are rated −40 to +200 °C for production control and automation.

  • Metal-Mount & Keg Transponders

    Metal-flex and cable-ID transponders read reliably on metal assets. Keg transponders are micro-welded directly to stainless kegs.

  • Stationary Readers

    ARE i9 & i2 series are designed to mount directly to the assembly line and cover industry standard protocols such as RS232, USB, and ProfiBus, and more.

  • Handheld & Desktop Readers

    The ARE H5 long-range full-ISO handheld, ARE H9 LF/HF for mixed applications, and the ARE DT1 desktop reader for easy PC inputs that mimic a keyboard.

  • Antennas & Multiplexing

    We offer a variety of antenna shapes and sizes (including custom options). We also offer multiplexers to efficiently distribute scans throughout your system.

  • Fieldbus Integration

    EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and ProfiBus interfaces network readers into Industry 4.0 production lines.

A Few Picks From Our Catalog

Transponders, readers, and keyfobs ready to quote today. Don't see what your line needs? Reach out and we'll figure it out.

How a Solution Comes Together

  1. The Application

    What you're identifying, the surface it's mounted to, and the conditions it has to survive — heat, chemical exposure, wash-down, vibration.

  2. The Tag

    Glass, disc, or metal-mount sized and rated for your environment and surface.

  3. The Reader

    A mix of stationary and handheld readers for full coverage from assembly line to personnel.

  4. Pilot, Then Scale

    Start small and scale once you're ready.

AEG ID ARE i2.0 SEMI compact RFID reader

ARE i2.0x SEMI compact reader

Semiconductor

SEMI-Compliant Readers for FOUPs and Wafer Carriers

Every FOUP and wafer carrier in a fab gets read on the move, and SEMI E144 is the standard behind that read.

  • The reader — the compact ARE i2.0x SEMI reads E144-compliant HDX tags and mounts directly to the load port.
  • The tag — the writable HDX Multipage ID 179 meets the same standard.
  • The retrofit — still running discontinued Omron V640 readers or the TI HDX tags? We offer drop in replacements, same fit, same function.

Obsolete RFID?

Drop-In Replacements for Obsolete Parts

We build drop-in replacements for discontinued TI, Omron, and other manufacturers' obsolete RFID parts — same fit, same function, still in production.

Common Questions

  • Will the tags survive a high-temperature process?

    Yes. Disc transponders are rated for humidity, chemical exposure, and temperatures from −40 to +200 °C, which is why they're a standard fit for automotive assembly lines and paint shops.

  • Which frequency do I need — LF, HF, or UHF?

    We do all three. The right option depends on the application — tell us what you're identifying and where, and we'll help you match it.

  • Do you meet semiconductor industry standards?

    Yes. The catalog includes SEMI-compliant readers, glass tags, and multipage transponders, with ISO 18000-2 compatibility and legacy footprints available for retrofit into existing lines.

  • Do you replace discontinued TI or Omron RFID parts?

    Yes. The cross-reference above maps the discontinued TI RI-TRP glass transponders and Omron V640 CIDRW readers to our part numbers. Running something older that isn't listed? Send us the part number and we'll check it.

  • Can you build something custom?

    Yes. Transponders, readers, and antennas are developed and manufactured in-house, so a custom build is a normal order.

Let Us Know What You're Trying to Identify

We'll match it to a transponder, reader, and antenna or scope a custom build.
