Super Labeling Powers

Saturday, June 30, 2007

There’s a new system that encodes, verifies and applies RFID tags at speeds up to 50 cases per minutes.

NJM/CLI claims its RFID Integrated Model 400 System achieves this because labels are oriented head-to-toe, which is shorter than the traditional side-to-side, reports Food Production Daily.

The Integrated Model 400 System combines a Zebra RFID printer and verification scanner with a 400 Print & Apply Labeler. The labeler can be modified to automatically remove bad tags or labels prior to label application on products, saving time and avoid processing problems further down the supply chain, claims the manufacturer. [end]
