Profile
LUX-IDent entered the RFID transponder market in 2002 as a family-owned company which built on a long electrical engineering industry tradition in Lanškroun, Czech Republic.
Anticipating the growing importance of contactless applications, the company started developing, producing and marketing transponders based on Radio Frequency Identification Technology.
HID Global®, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, acquired 100% ownership of LUX-IDent in November 2019. Being part of HID Global® offers greater value to our clients due to HID’s worldwide market presence combined with LUX’s production flexibility, consistent quality and focus on customized products manufactured in Europe.
Nowadays the core competence lies in the production of RFID inlays in 125 kHz (LF), 13.56 MHz (HF incl. NFC) and 868–915 MHz (UHF, RAIN® RFID) frequency bands.
Thanks to the in-house machine design and the broad interdisciplinary knowledge of our team, we can combine flexible antenna design and application-specific encapsulation while maintaining a leading price/quality ratio.

Technologies
Our coil winding technology gives LUX‑IDent’s transponders an outstanding variability to meet different customers’ needs. We produce non‑capsulated transponders that range mainly in diameters from 5 to 120 mm. While we are most often asked to produce round coils for our clients, we also make different shapes and formats upon request. Sophisticated coil winding combined with fine frequency tuning gives LUX‑IDent’s transponders an excellent read/write performance.
In 2015 we implemented wire embedding technology, allowing us to produce larger amounts of different HF antenna designs mainly in a form of pre-laminated inlays utilized by card manufacturers. It also allows us to supply bigger batches within shorter period of time.
In 2016 the production capabilities were extended to add the etched antenna technology used for HF (incl. NFC) and UHF (RAIN® RFID) inlays & labels, available in a range of standard designs or designed individually based on customer’s request and chip type.
Our machines are designed to be very productive and flexible. We can process different chips and chip modules from various IC manufacturers:
- MOA2
- MOA4
- MOA8
- MOB4
- MOB6
- MCC2
- MCC8
- NOA3
- NOA3T
- NOA3ST
- SmOA4
- CID Pack
- Bare die (wafer)
Our antenna portfolio covers various formats and shapes. Our engineers are ready to help you to design your own antenna upon request.
