SIVA – RHINO™ CYLTAG™ – Cylindrical UHF RFID Hard Tag for Kegs, Cylinders & Metal Assets
The SIVA RHINO™ CYLTAG™ is a rugged, circular UHF RFID hard tag specifically engineered for cylindrical metallic assets such as beer kegs, gas cylinders, chemical containers, and pressurized tanks. Its unique form factor and high-performance foam adhesive backing allow the tag to conform naturally to curved metal surfaces, eliminating the need for spot welding, epoxy bonding, or complex mechanical fixtures.
Designed for fast deployment and long-term durability, the CYLTAG™ delivers reliable RFID performance on metal while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. The tag can be laser engraved with logos, asset IDs, serial numbers, or barcodes, making it ideal for asset branding, lifecycle tracking, and compliance marking.
With global UHF tuning, IP68 protection, and strong resistance to chemicals and temperature extremes, the RHINO™ CYLTAG™ is widely used in beverage logistics, gas distribution, industrial container pooling, and returnable metal asset management.
