With mandates from major retailers and the Department of Defense, many

indicates that 66% of respondents were not convinced of RFID’s benefits.
Would RFID be viable and beneficial for you? That is a question that
requires extensive evaluation of your site and a thorough cost/benefit
analysis. Most analysts agree that the high cost of the RFID tags and
lack of industry standards will slow widespread implementation.
Nonetheless, Standard Register’s RFID technology team can assist in

Pro Mach’s ID Technology offers multiple RFID solutions
to help you achieve the greatest ROI whether you need to meet basic retailer
compliance or want to exploit the benefits of RFID throughout your
manufacturing process. The ID Technology Model 150 Label Applicator is
ideal for applying pressure sensitive RFID tags to cases, cartons or
individual products. These tags can be pre-encoded or can be encoded later
in the packaging process, after application. A unique angled U-arm allows
easy positioning of the applicator head to the product for top, bottom, and
side applications.
RFID and bar coding will coexist for the foreseeable
future. New ID Technology RFID label printer applicators combine these two
technologies for the best of both worlds. These printers are able to print
barcodes, human-readable text, and graphics on the surface of a label and
then encode the RFID chip embedded as part of the label. The ID Technology
Model 250r is designed to read, write, verify and apply RFID tags in top,
bottom, and side label applications all as one seamless process. Tags that
fail to read can be discarded prior to application without disrupting
product flow.
The Model 250r features the same rugged design and
modular configuration as the original IDT 250 Series printer applicator, as
well as, "hot swap" spare assemblies that install in minutes. I D
Technology offers a choice of Zebra, Sato and Datamax RFID print engines.
The result is an RFID enabled printer applicator that adapts to your
production environment. Because of its unique modular design a standard
Model 250 Printer Applicator can be easily upgraded for RFID applications by
simply swapping the standard print engine with an RFID print engine.

Barcode400's RFID add-on allows “Smart Labels” to be
"encoded" with data directly from the iSeries system and printed to RFID
thermal printers. In terms of generating the ‘Smart Labels,’ current users
of Barcode400 will find the implementation of RFID technology as simple as
adding new fields to an existing label format. New users will realize the
simplicity of label design, benefit from the ease of RFID integration, and
realize the efficiency and ease of use for which our software and company
have always been known.
Our customers are now able to meet RFID tag
requirements based on the Electronic Product Code (EPC) standards set forth
by the UCC (Uniform Code Council). The Barcode400 RFID Tag Module is
designed to accommodate emerging standards as other organizations, be it in
the retail industry or the Department of Defense, set down compliance
standards for RFID tag technology.
Each label is embedded with a miniature chip and
antenna. As the bar code label prints the chip is encoded with the
Electronic Product Code (EPC) for RFID labels which is the equivalent of the
Universal Product Code for barcodes. Barcode400 supports Class 1 and Class
0 RFID labels and is ready for Class1, Generation 2 EPC when the printers
become available.
