Consumer Electronics Manufacturer Automates RFID Encode-Print-And-Apply Process With The Printronix SLPA7000e Printer

An expert in the deployment of RFID systems, the company began a pilot program in January 2004, whereby it would deploy its own RFID systems within its supply chain to meet Wal-Mart's January 2005 RFID compliance mandate. One of the key challenges in the deployment of this system was the wide variety of products available across several plant locations. Because each facility manufactured products with either a one-to-one, or many-to-one relationship to the package, based on this relationship, RFID labels had to be placed manually on either the floor packaging or master cartons.
