RFID Solution

Radio frequency Identification (RFID) uses radio waves to read and capture information stored on a label or tag. By tagging items with RFID tags stock, inventory and assets can be automatically and uniquely identified and tracked. Collect and record important data to prevent loss, spoiling and automate supply chain processes.

With our RFID printers, customer can print and encode your RFID tags as easily as a conventional label. These printers give the ability to encode RFID tags which can then be identified during the supply chain to optimize processes. It will enable more security knowing the correct code and printing specs are always right. TSIP supports on the RFID command implementation and test confirmation.

  • Unique head up function reduces damage to the chips during printing.
  • Robust validation ensures tags are encoded accurately every time with the following automatic features:
    • - Tag validity
    • - Retry
    • - Encode and verify
    • - Faulty tag void print
    • - Encode next tag on error
    • - Reflected power check
  • Faster throughput with our proprietary Short Pitch RFID Encoding Technology (SPRiNT) and Mach 2 RFID data processing.
