A sensor system (1000) comprising a tag (100) which comprises a removable radio-frequency chip (130), an antenna (140) disposed in electrical communication with the chip (130) and a non-conductive coating (115) disposed upon a surface of the tag (100). The chip (130) comprises a memory element providing electrical storage of binary coded data, and output terminals. The antenna (140) is in electrical communication with the output terminals. The non-conductive coating covers the chip and defines a perimeter (125). The perimeter (125) is disposed over and exposes a portion of the antenna (140).
