Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) play a major role in the logistics and industrial supply chain sectors. From braving freezing temperatures, to getting exposed to oils, shocks, unwanted chemicals and constant handling—these assets face extreme environments.

In cold storage, outdoor yards, industrial sites, and vehicle assembly lines, RPCs (Returnable Plastic Containers) are repeatedly reused, washed, and subjected to mechanical stress. Traditional labels and poorly selected RFID tags often fail under such conditions, leading to tracking errors, losses, and inefficiencies in asset management.

Designed specifically for harsh environments, Rhino HT ™ 10534 is a high-performance UHF RFID tag engineered to survive the lifecycle of some of the most demanding RTI applications. It is built for long read ranges and outstanding reliability, even in the most unforgiving conditions, acting as a critical enabler for smarter logistics.

How It Solves the Problem: Built Rugged, Tuned for Plastic

  • Impact Resistance: The tag is built from durable materials that make it resistant to physical damage during repeated handling, stacking, and transport.

  • Weather-Proof: Its construction allows it to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure including rain, dust, and UV radiation.

  • Wide Temperature Range: Whether in sub-zero cold storage or under high-temperature wash cycles, Rhino HT 10431 maintains performance.

Application Areas

  • Fish Crates & Cold Chain Logistics: Saltwater, ice, and extreme cold—conditions where HT 10431 continues to perform without degradation.

  • Outdoor Storage Yards: Rain, dust, and UV exposure do not impact the tag’s readability or lifespan.

  • Automotive Industry: Tracks containers and parts bins in vehicle assembly plants—surviving oils, shocks, and chemicals.

  • Industrial Manufacturing: Tags endure automated handling, stacking, and mechanical stress during material flow.

  • Food & Beverage RTIs: Withstand repeated wash cycles, ensuring hygienic reuse and traceability.

Conclusion

Rhino™ HT 10534 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of RTI applications. Its rugged construction, strong performance on plastic, and ability to endure harsh environments make it a reliable choice for industries where asset tracking is critical. From cold storage to automotive plants, this tag helps ensure container visibility and operational efficiency without compromise.
