HID® FIT Brick RFID Tag – A compact, durable, and flexible identification solution for every industrial application
As businesses accelerate digital transformation and automation, the demand for intelligent identification devices that remain stable under harsh conditions has become increasingly vital.
Among today’s most advanced RFID solutions, the HID® FIT Brick RFID Tag stands out for its ultra-small size, exceptional industrial durability, and high flexibility in integration making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from asset and equipment management to medical instruments and technical cables.
Introduction to the HID® FIT Brick RFID tag
The HID® FIT Brick Tag is a high-frequency passive (HF) RFID transponder, purpose-built for discreet mounting or embedding into tools, devices, cables, or medical instruments.
Despite its fingertip-sized design, the tag consistently delivers accurate, stable, and reliable data transmission throughout its service life.
Developed by HID Global a world leader in secure identity technologies the FIT Brick Tag is the optimal choice for systems requiring compact, rugged, and long-lasting RFID performance.
Compact design – Outstanding performance
The defining feature of the HID FIT Brick RFID Tag is its remarkably small form factor, allowing it to be seamlessly embedded into equipment without affecting structure or functionality.
This makes it an ideal solution for applications that require the tag to remain hidden or installed in tight spaces.
Inside, a precision-tuned antenna ensures stable reading performance even when mounted on metal, plastic, or composite surfaces.
Its fully sealed construction provides excellent protection against environmental and physical impacts, ensuring long-term reliability in production lines, laboratories, and heavy industrial environments.
Built to withstand harsh environments
Unlike conventional RFID tags that degrade under heat or chemical exposure, the FIT Brick Tag is engineered to endure extreme industrial conditions.
It performs reliably in high temperatures, humid environments, and areas exposed to chemicals, oils, or mild acids.
Encased in industrial-grade ABS housing, the tag is resistant to water, dust, impact, and vibration maintaining stable performance even when attached to tools or moving machinery.
This makes it an excellent choice for challenging settings such as metalworking facilities, electronics manufacturing plants, or sterile surgical environments.
Flexible applications across industries
The HID FIT Brick RFID Tag is not limited to a single industry its versatile performance enables widespread use across multiple sectors.
Asset and tool management
FIT Brick helps businesses track, control, and maintain tools with precision and ease.
From wrenches and screwdrivers to high-value manufacturing equipment all can be tagged for automatic identification and usage tracking.
Cable and component management
In electronics, telecommunications, and infrastructure industries, embedding FIT Brick into cables allows fast inspection, classification, and tracking without manual intervention.
Medical and surgical instrument tracking
With resistance to sterilization and extreme temperatures, FIT Brick is ideal for tracking hospital instruments and medical devices.
It automates inventory processes, reduces loss, and ensures timely maintenance and sterilization.
Defense and security applications
FIT Brick can be discreetly embedded into weapons, tactical tools, or military equipment for identification, audit, and lifecycle management ensuring high accuracy and traceability.
OEM manufacturing solutions
With its customizable and embeddable design, FIT Brick is ideal for OEMs seeking integrated identification solutions.
It can be built directly into product designs, enabling digital traceability and supporting end-to-end automation.
Flexible customization and strong data security
Another key advantage of the HID FIT Brick Tag is its programmable user memory and advanced data protection features.
Users can encode product details, maintenance records, or unique identifiers directly into the tag.
It also supports NFC communication, allowing quick data access via smartphones a convenient option for field verification or inspection.
Additionally, HID offers a cryptographic security option, safeguarding RFID data from cloning or tampering ideal for product authentication and brand protection.
Advanced technology by HID Global
The FIT Brick Tag is part of the HID FIT (Form Factor Industrial Tag) series a range specifically engineered for industrial applications requiring exceptional durability and compact size.
Powered by advanced ICODE® SLIX2 chip technology, the tag operates reliably at HF frequency (13.56 MHz) and is compatible with most standard HF and NFC RFID readers worldwide.
This allows businesses to easily integrate the FIT Brick into their existing RFID systems without the need for complex hardware or software modifications.
This advantage makes the tag a truly “plug-and-play” solution, ideal for any organization looking to enhance its asset management processes through RFID technology.
Comparison with HID FIT Ceramic series
For applications that require longer read ranges on metal surfaces, HID Global recommends the HID FIT Ceramic Tag, optimized for UHF (Ultra High Frequency) operation.
However, when small size, high durability, and resistance to harsh conditions are top priorities, the HID FIT Brick HF remains the superior choice.
It offers reliable short-range performance with exceptional precision and energy efficiency perfect for internal asset control, small-part management, or secure operational environments.
