The Challenge
Industrial paint shops are among the harshest environments for electronics. Batches travel through chemical baths, solvents, spray coating, and ovens reaching 200°C — cycles repeated hundreds of times.
The Solution
CargoBeacon designed a fully custom RFID tag specifically for this environment. No off-the-shelf product met the requirements — so we built one from scratch.
Industrial-Grade Enclosure
Chemical-resistant housing that withstands solvents, cleaning baths, and repeated layers of paint particles without degradation.
High-Temperature Resistant
Materials and adhesives designed to withstand repeated cycles up to 200°C in paint ovens without losing integrity or readability.
Long-Range RFID Reading
Optimized antenna design ensures reliable reading even through repeated layers of paint coating on the tag surface.
Magnetic Mounting System
Slim, mountable form factor with magnetic attachment for easy mounting and detachment on paint racks and hangers.
Not Just Off-the-Shelf
CargoBeacon doesn't just use existing hardware — we design custom solutions when the situation demands it. This RFID tag is an example of our capability to go from customer requirements to finished hardware product, including mechanical design, material selection, antenna optimization, and production.
