XS series
Smallest RFID Tags Enabling Item-Level Tracking in Mission-Critical Operations
The Xerafy XS series packs RFID performance into the smallest rugged on metal RFID tags available for item-level tracking of tools, instruments, and pipes.
The award-winning XS series tags are in operation around the world enabling RFID Systems deployed to support mission-critical operations, alongside the MICRO high-temp tags, and PICO small tags.
“We tested many different types of tags, but Xerafy’s ability to read reliably and the minimum size of the XS series tags are unparalleled.”

FAQs Smallest RFID Tags
What RFID readers work with the XS series?
The XS series tags are all standard passive UHF (Ultra High Frequency) tags that comply with EPCglobal Gen2v2 and ISO 18000-63 standards, also referred to as RAIN RFID.
A wide range of fixed and handheld RFID readers is available, with frequencies and antenna polarization matching the tags’ to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
How small is the smallest RFID chip?
One of the best-known and smallest UHF RFID chips is the μ-chip (mu-chip), developed by Hitachi, and functions with a radio frequency of 2.4 GHz.
The μ-chip measures only 0.4 mm x 0.4 mm, which is about the size of a grain of sand. Its tiny size limits the read distances to only a few millimeters.
