On-metal RFID for reusable-container tracking

ID 700 RFID Keg Transponder

Keep a durable identifier attached directly to a stainless-steel asset. The ID 700 low-frequency transponder is optimized for metal and qualified for micro-welding through its stainless mounting ring, making it a permanent fit for kegs, barrels, containers, vehicles, and other harsh-process assets.

Purpose-built for metal assets

A Permanent RFID Identity for Stainless Kegs and Containers

ID 700 combines a metal-optimized transponder with an attachment method intended to survive the asset's operational life.

  • Direct-on-Metal Design

    The transponder technology is optimized for stainless-steel barrels, containers, vehicles, and similar metal assets.

  • Qualified Micro-Weld Mount

    A stainless mounting ring allows the tag to be micro-welded to the asset rather than relying on a disposable label.

  • Configurable LF Chip

    ASK and PSK read-only or read/write options are available, with memory determined by the selected chip.

  • Persistent Process ID

    The same identifier can be read during filling, production control, logistics, service, and return workflows.

Application areas

RFID Tracking for Kegs, Barrels, and Returnable Metal Assets

AEG ID specifies the ID 700 for industrial environments where the identifier needs to remain with a metal asset through repeated handling and process exposure.

  • Beverage Kegs Identify stainless kegs through filling, distribution, collection, and return.
  • Oils + Chemicals Track barrels and reusable containers through controlled filling and handling processes.
  • Automotive Identify carriers and assets through production-control workflows, including paint-shop environments.
  • Waste Containers Keep a durable identity on metal containers exposed to repeated outdoor and handling cycles.
  • IP67 The sealed ABS and stainless-steel construction is rated for dusty and wet environments.
  • Reusable Assets The micro-welded attachment keeps the identity with equipment that circulates for years.

Common Keg-Tag Questions

  • What RFID tag works for stainless-steel keg tracking?

    Use a transponder designed and tuned for direct mounting on metal. ID 700 combines a low-frequency RFID transponder with a stainless mounting ring qualified for micro-welding to metal kegs, barrels, containers, and similar reusable assets.

  • Can the ID 700 RFID keg tag mount directly on stainless steel?

    Yes. The transponder is specifically optimized for direct installation on stainless-steel kegs, barrels, containers, vehicles, and similar metal assets.

  • How is the ID 700 attached to a keg or container?

    The stainless mounting ring is qualified for a micro-welding process. The exact weld procedure should be established and validated for the asset construction and production environment.

  • Is the ID 700 the same as the flat disc tag used in a keg rim?

    No. ID 700 is the direct-on-metal transponder with a stainless mounting ring. AEG ID also uses flat disc transponders for PU-foamed kegs, where a tag can be retrofitted into the rim or foamed beneath the identification plate during manufacture.

  • Which frequency does the keg transponder use?

    ID 700 is a low-frequency transponder specified below 134.2 kHz. The exact chip, encoding, and reader compatibility should be selected as part of the system configuration.

  • Can the keg transponder store more than a fixed ID?

    Read-only and read/write chip configurations are available. Memory capacity and data functions depend on the selected IC.

  • Where else is ID 700 used besides beverage kegs?

    AEG ID lists filling processes for beverages, oils, and chemicals, automotive production control including paint shops, and garbage-container identification.
