US 2015/0021395 A1 · THIN MOUNT RFID TAGGING SYSTEMS

Abstract

Present embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a tag, such as an RFID tag, a system including the RFID tag and techniques for installing the RFID tag onto the surface of a tool. The RFID tag is coupled to an outer surface of a tool via an adhesive and/or coating that acts to retain the tag. The RFID tag is coated with a thin protective coating or casing material that may be disposed about a circumference of the RFID tag. The tool upon which the RFID tag is coupled may include oilfield casing, drilling tubulars, production tubing, liners, flow irons, transportation pipeline, and other equipment where tags are advantageously installed onto the surface of materials and still survive severe use environments.
