SIVA – RHINO™ HT 6520 – Compact Rugged On-Metal UHF RFID Hard Tag for Industrial Asset Tracking
The SIVA RHINO™ HT 6520 is a compact, rugged UHF RFID hard tag engineered for reliable identification of metal assets in industrial, logistics, and automotive environments. With a small footprint and global frequency tuning, this tag delivers consistent on-metal RFID performance while fitting into space-constrained applications where larger hard tags are impractical.
Designed for direct mounting on metallic surfaces, the HT 6520 features a durable ABS housing with brass inserts that withstand heavy-duty riveting and mechanical stress. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability in environments exposed to vibration, chemicals, moisture, and outdoor conditions.
Supporting laser engraving and optional high-performance adhesive, the RHINO™ HT 6520 enables permanent asset identification, branding, and serialization for returnable transport items (RTIs), metal racks, containers, tools, machinery, and industrial infrastructure.
