Beontag – Ironside Classic Strap RAIN RFID Tag | Tool-Free Industrial Asset Tracking Up to 20 Metres
The Beontag Ironside Classic Strap is an IP68-rated RAIN RFID hard tag built for industrial asset tracking on metal and non-metal surfaces, with a read range of up to 20 m on metal at 2W ERP. Its key differentiator is the integrated plastic bracket design, which allows secure mounting using a strap, metal rim, or similar band without screws or adhesives — making it easy to install, replace, and reuse across asset lifecycles. Powered by the NXP U9xm IC with three configurable memory layouts, it ships with a unique number pre-encoded and supports customer-specific laser engraving and EPC encoding.

Benefits
Integrated plastic brackets let the Ironside Classic Strap mount securely to pipes, cylinders, and equipment using a standard strap or metal rim. No drilling, no adhesive prep, and the tag can be relocated or reused when assets are reassigned.
At 20 m on metal surfaces at 2W ERP, this tag tracks large metal assets — tanks, racks, vehicles, machinery — from a distance, reducing the need for close-range scanning and speeding up cycle counts in wide open facilities.
The NXP U9xm IC ships in three configurable memory splits, from 128 to 496 bits of EPC memory, letting operations match the tag’s data capacity to their exact application without switching to a different product line.
