UHF RFID Nail Tag with UCODE 7 for Tree and Timber Management

Compared with ordinary adhesive RFID labels, this RFID nail tag features a pointed plastic stem that can be installed directly into trees, logs, timber, wooden pallets, and other wood-based assets. Once installed, the round RFID housing remains visible on the surface for stable UHF identification. The tag can be supplied with NXP UCODE 7 or other UHF chips and supports EPC encoding, TID collection, serial number marking, and customized data services according to your project requirements.

Key Features

Nail-Shaped Installation Structure

The pointed stem allows the RFID tag to be inserted directly into trees, logs, timber, wooden pallets, and other wooden objects. This mechanical installation is more suitable for rough or uneven wood surfaces where ordinary adhesive labels may not remain securely attached.

Built-in UHF RFID Chip

The tag is equipped with a passive UHF RFID chip and works without a battery. NXP UCODE 7 is available for tree identification, timber tracking, inventory management, and wood supply chain applications.

Durable Plastic Housing

The RFID chip and antenna are protected inside a hard plastic housing. The smooth round head and pointed stem provide a compact structure for installation and daily identification in forestry, timber yards, warehouses, and wood-processing environments.

Custom EPC Encoding and Data Services

Each RFID nail tag can be encoded with a different EPC number before shipment. We can also provide TID collection, EPC and TID matching files, sequential asset numbers, and customer-supplied data encoding according to the system requirements.

Suitable for Tree and Timber Management

The RFID nail tag provides each tree, log, or wooden asset with a unique electronic identity. It can be connected with forestry or asset-management software to record tree information, inspection history, log batches, storage locations, transportation records, and production data.

Product Specifications

How Does the UHF RFID Nail Tag Work?

The RFID nail tag is inserted into a tree, log, timber product, wooden pallet, or other wooden asset. After installation, the UHF RFID reader sends radio-frequency energy to activate the passive chip inside the tag.

The reader receives the tag’s EPC data and transfers it to the connected management system. Each EPC number can be associated with specific information such as tree species, planting date, inspection records, log batch, storage location, ownership, processing status, or transportation history.

Actual reading performance depends on the RFID reader, antenna gain, tag direction, installation depth, wood density, and moisture content. Sample testing on the customer’s actual wood material is recommended before mass production.

Why Choose Our UHF RFID Nail Tags?

Our UHF RFID nail tags combine direct wood installation, passive RFID identification, durable plastic encapsulation, and customized encoding services. They are designed for forestry companies, timber suppliers, wood-processing factories, landscaping departments, and asset-management projects that require a more reliable identification method than printed labels or barcodes.

With customizable UHF chips, EPC data, colors, serial numbers, and encoding services, the tags can be integrated into existing forestry, inventory, and supply chain management systems.

FAQ

1. What is an RFID nail tag?

An RFID nail tag is a hard RFID tag with a pointed stem. It can be installed directly into trees, logs, timber, wooden pallets, and other wooden assets for contactless identification and tracking.

2. Does the RFID nail tag require a battery?

No. It is a passive UHF RFID tag and receives operating energy from the UHF RFID reader.

3. Can this tag be read with a mobile phone?

No. NXP UCODE 7 is a UHF RFID chip and cannot be read by an ordinary NFC-enabled mobile phone. A compatible UHF RFID reader or handheld terminal is required.

4. How is the RFID nail tag installed?

The pointed stem can be pressed or carefully driven into wood. For hard or dry wood, preparing a small pilot hole before installation is recommended to reduce installation resistance and avoid damaging the tag.

5. Which RFID chips can be used?

NXP UCODE 7 is available for this product. We can also recommend other UHF RFID chips according to the required memory, reading performance, operating frequency, and project application.

6. Can you encode different data into every tag?

Yes. We can encode a unique EPC number into every tag and provide TID collection, EPC-to-TID matching files, or customer-supplied data encoding before shipment.

7. What is the reading distance?

Reading distance depends on the chip and antenna design, reader power, reader antenna, tag orientation, installation depth, wood density, and moisture content. We recommend testing samples on the actual tree or timber before confirming the project reading distance.

8. What information should I provide for a quotation?

Please provide the required quantity, chip type, target country or operating frequency, product size, encoding requirements, printing or marking requirements, expected reading distance, and the type of tree, log, timber, or wooden asset on which the tag will be installed.
