RFID tags in traditional paper labels
December 1st 2004 Allowing production of combined human readable text, graphics, barcode and RFID tags in one self adhesive label, DataScan Systems’ has launched the Nova RFID enabled label printer.
According to DataScan’s MD, Paul Mason, it is ‘ideal for low cost, one way tags through supply chains. It also makes it possible to cost effectively introduce RFID tags into supply chains alongside existing barcode systems.’ Designed for use in outer case or pallet label applications, the new printer is based on the Imaje Nova range of thermal image label printers. Continuous labels are fed through the Nova 6 RFID and Nova 8 RFID at a speed of 150mm per second.
Labels come with an RFID tag embedded between the paper and the adhesive. Data is written to the tag as the label passes through the printer. The tags are industry standard ISO 15693 operating at 13.56MHz. More articles from DataScan Systems Ltd: |
