Tracking, tracing, manufacturing, Barcoding, RFID & NFC

Our products can be used to assist companies in protecting or tracking their assets. Additionally, they will help to modernise compliance management systems to ensure they are efficient and up to date. Whilst barcodes are read individually and need a line of sight, with RFID tagsĀ multi items can be read on the move. Additionally, data can be amended as required.

In addition, we can develop implement and install asset management systems, carry out asset surveys and data verification. This will provide valuable asset information to analyse and report on performance. For example, we can provide the latest technical solutions to support control and simplify the tracking or management of assets. As well as adoption of a risk based maintenance approach to ensure full compliance and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Torchwood Technologies provide?

Torchwood Technologies is a specialised UK manufacturer and supplier of rugged RFID tags, custom barcode labels, Near Field Communication (NFC) solutions, and tracking hardware. We offer end-to-end bespoke tracking solutions—from rapid prototyping, design, and manufacturing to complete system integration and asset surveys.

How do Torchwood RFID tags handle metal surfaces?

Standard RFID tags often suffer from signal interference when placed directly on metal. Torchwood manufactures dedicated Mount-on-Metal RFID Tags equipped with specialized shielding technology, ensuring maximum read ranges and reliability on metallic assets and equipment.

Are Torchwood tags suitable for extreme industrial environments?

Yes. We specialise in ruggedised, encapsulated tags built to withstand severe temperatures, extreme pressures, exposure to heavy impact, and harsh industrial chemicals.

What attachment options are available for your tags?

Torchwood tags can be attached using a variety of robust mechanisms, including high-impact industrial adhesives, tie-tags, pre-drilled screw holes, key rings, snap hooks, or custom mount brackets.

What is Floor-tagĀ® and how does it work?

Floor-tagĀ® is our proprietary warehouse floor tracking solution designed for rapid stock and pallet identification. Unlike traditional floor tracking methods, Floor-tagĀ® eliminates the need to drill or excavate concrete floors for installation, offering a durable, high-impact surface that withstands daily forklift and heavy warehouse traffic.

Can Torchwood supply custom tag shapes, sizes, and branding?

Yes. Whether you require bespoke dimensions, custom colour branding, QR/barcode printing, or specific chip inlays, our UK manufacturing processes allow us to tailor every tag to your exact operational requirements.

What volume of orders can Torchwood accommodate?

We cater to projects of all scales, offering flexible order volumes ranging from small-batch prototypes (100 units) up to high-volume commercial production runs.

What is the difference between RFID, NFC, and Barcodes?
  • Barcodes: Cost-effective identification requiring direct line-of-sight scanning for individual items.
  • RFID (UHF/HF): Allows wireless reading of multiple items on the move without direct line of sight, with options to re-write data as assets move through processes.
  • NFC (Near Field Communication): A short-range (under 5 cm) wireless technology compatible with standard smartphones, ideal for proof-of-service, staff sign-ons, or interactive customer experiences.
Which industries use Torchwood tracking solutions?

Our tags are deployed across a broad range of vertical markets, including Fire & Rescue Services, Healthcare & NHS asset management, warehousing and logistics, universities, automotive manufacturing (e.g., Bentley Motors), stadium operations, and construction.

How do your RFID tags improve inventory and stock accuracy?

By replacing manual line-of-sight checks with automated RFID scanning, companies can achieve over 99% inventory accuracy. In retail and logistics environments, this drastically reduces loss, speeds up stock checks, and directly improves asset visibility.
