Xerafy, the specialist in industrial RAIN RFID tagging solutions, is now offering the Metal Skin Delta and Titanium RFID labels, billed as the thinnest and smallest on-metal labels in the market and the first to feature the Impinj M830 RFID endpoint IC with next-generation Gen2X capabilities.
On-metal RAIN RFID labels have long required one mm or more thickness to maintain stable RF performance. Xerafy’s Gen2X-capable Metal Skin labels break through that barrier.
At 0.4 mm thin, Metal Skin Delta is printable on standard RFID printers— such as Zebra, SATO, TSC— ideal for curved or uneven surfaces such as pipes, tools, and IT equipment. And the smallest on-metal label available, Metal Skin Titanium is designed for discreet tagging of compact or high-value assets such as laptops, lab instruments, and embedded devices.
Xerafy, Impinj Partnership
By bringing Impinj Gen2X to industrial-grade labels, Xerafy has delivered a breakthrough in performance and form factor, enabling reliable tagging in the most space-constrained and asset-dense environments.
“With Delta and Titanium, we have overcome long-standing physical and RF limitations in RFID label design to deliver industrial-grade performance in form factors as thin as 0.4 mm and as compact as Titanium,” said Michel Gillmann, Chief Marketing Officer at Xerafy in a statement. “Pilot evaluations with global integrators and OEMs in aerospace and IT asset management already show how Gen2X-powered Metal Skin labels are enabling deployments once considered impossible, from tagging curved tools to reliably tracking laptops,” said Gillmann.
Unlocking Gen2X
Both Delta and Titanium deliver reliable reads and security in environments that challenged previous generations of on-metal labels. This advancement enables tagging in new spaces, on curved surfaces, and on devices where RAIN RFID was previously impractical.
Powered by the Impinj M830 RAIN RFID endpoint IC, the new labels deliver measurable improvements compared to previous generations of Xerafy metal labels. Testing and early customer deployments highlight:
- 25–50% longer read range on compact form factors like Titanium, enabling reliable reads on laptops, docking stations, and handhelds.
Up to 2× faster inventory cycles in dense IT environments, thanks to FastID for rapid EPC-to-TID linking.
Consistent reliability on ultra-thin labels (0.4 mm Delta), where older designs required 1 mm thickness.
Improved stability with Impinj-based RFID readers, with customers reporting more uniform performance across racks, rooms, and audits. - Enhanced data protection and authentication through Gen2X features such as Protected Mode, Authenticity, and on-chip diagnostics (Integra).
“From inventory accuracy to asset authentication, Gen2X represents a shift in what RFID labels can achieve,” said Gillmann. “With Delta and Titanium, we are delivering Gen2X-powered visibility, security, and reliability to enterprise assets previously considered untaggable.”
Areas of Deployment
Impinj Gen2X can deliver measurable improvements in dense and high-volume deployments, such as faster inventory, stronger data protection, and improved authentication. By building these capabilities into ultra-thin and compact industrial-grade labels, Xerafy extends those benefits into environments where space and RF constraints once made RAIN RFID adoption difficult.
To support rapid evaluation and integration, Xerafy is releasing an Impinj Gen2X Test Pack that includes Delta, Titanium, and additional M830-powered tags such as TEX TRAK Roll and Container OUT. The Gen2X Test Pack is available now, providing OEMs and integrators with a ready-to-deploy reference implementation.
“We’re excited to see Xerafy extend Gen2X into new industrial applications where size and performance constraints have historically limited RFID adoption,” said George Dyche, vice president of endpoint IC product management at Impinj. “This will help ensure the RAIN ecosystem continues to deliver solutions that capture the advanced features of the M800 series endpoint ICs while meeting enterprise needs.”
