RFID Solutions is
the first dedicated publication to report on the impact of RFID on the
whole supply chain through to the retailer. Each issue will include up
to date news on the latest developments, case studies on trials taking
place, technical analysis and regular reports covering each of the key
sectors, including hardware, software, logistics and services
developments.
An
EPCglobal Class 1, Gen 2 compatible multi-protocol print engine
designed to print and encode smart labels while improving speed,
reliability and print quality in high volume, automated label
print-and-apply operations has been introduced by Zebra Technologies
Europe.
Zebra says its R110PAX4
printer will enable consumer packaged good companies needing to upgrade
existing barcode label print-and-apply systems to meet RFID mandates to
do so without significant mechanical modifications in accordance with
Class 1 Gen 2 standards.
Features to help improve
print-and-apply efficiency include optimised RFID processes for fast
throughput and an RFID calibration feature that automatically selects
the optimum program position for transponder placement in the label.
The print engine signals and voids unusable labels to the
print-and-apply system to prevent them being used.
Offered in right- and
left-hand versions, in 203 or 300dpi configuration, the R110PAX4 for
Europe supports ETSI EN 300 220 EPC Class 1, ISO18000-06B, and Philips
UCODE 1.19 and can operate at 100% duty cycle via a software download
to Gen 2 protocols as they become available.
Also new is Zebra’s
R110XiIIIPlus TM 13.56MHz HF printer/encoder, designed for demanding
manufacturing, warehousing and logistics environments. The printer is
said to be able to print on a wider range of 13.56MHz tags than any
other currently available coder, including Philips’ I-Code, Philips’
EPC, TI’s Tag-it, Inside Technologies’ PicoTag and the ISO 15693 from
Philips, Infineon and TI.
