![]() ![]() Put simply, RFID is similar to bar code technology but uses radio waves to capture data from tags, rather than optically scanning the bar codes on a label. ![]() It is an automatic identification technology whereby digital data encoded in an RFID tag or "smart label" is captured by a reader using radio waves. RFID stands for radio frequency identification. PAX print engines, the R110 PAX, so users can automatically print,Įncode and apply "EPC-compliant" smart labels to cartons, cases, palletsįrequently Asked Questions and Answers You Need to Know Alchemy has been integrated into special version of Zebra's Zebra Alchemy can support EPC and many other RFID specifications, standardsĪnd frequencies. ![]() Simplifies compliance with EPC-tagging requirements. Reduces the ongoing operating cost of an RFID system ĭoes not require time-consuming media changes when print operations change from traditional label printing to smart labeling With the label formatting software, you control which labels include RFID inlays and which do not, so no inlays are wasted on labels that do not need RFID.ĬustomWare ® embodies the most efficient process for creating smart labels on demand because it: This two-step process makes converted smart label material unnecessary, so you have the same full choice of cost-effective label material you have always enjoyed. The Zebra Alchemy process encodes a separate RFID inlay and bonds it to the label material after the label is printed. With Zebra's hardware, companies can use almost any label material to create smart labels. The processes required to convert smart label inlays into printer stock adds significant cost to the total cost of each smart label-often more than the cost of the chip itself! ![]() Every label on the roll includes an RFID transponder, which is encoded as the label is being printed. Traditional smart label printers use specialty media that has RFID inlays layered into the label stock during the conversion process. Zebra's hardware is an ideal solution for operations that must support both "EPC-compliant" smart labeling and traditional bar code printing because it makes the most efficient use of smart label materials and protects productivity by eliminating the need for media changeovers. Label formatting software resident in the printer manages the entire process for convenient, high-throughput print operations. CustomWare ® Designs markets a commercially available bar code printer/RFID encoder for smart labels, and offers industry-leading, proven smart label technology combined with experience with the world's leading manufacturer of bar code printing and label solutions.ĬustomWare ® uses Zebra Technologies hardware which enables a single print station to produce RFID smart labels and conventional bar code labels on demand- without having to stop operations to change label material. It also would be a significant tool for product recalls and theft prevention.ĬustomWare ® offers RFID printing and encoding solutions for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, retail, security, and warehousing. The EPC technology, in conjunction with the expanding production of RFID capable printers/encoders, has the potential to revolutionize the supply chain by providing more accurate information about product movement, stock rotation, inventory levels and other management information. This is further enhanced by the ability to update information automatically to the EPC's online database - identifying where and when a case or pallet of goods arrived, for example - in supply chain logistics applications. Like other RFID solutions, the EPC's ability to be read without a line-of-sight offers users significant timesavings. The 96-bit EPC code links to an online database, providing a secure way of sharing product-specific information along the supply chain. The EPC is a new product numbering standard under development by the Uniform Code Council (UCC) that can be used to identify a variety of items using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.
