A global leading bar code service provider Paxar Corporation will demonstrate its use of EPCglobal's UHF Electronic Product Code (EPC) Class 1 Generation 2 (Gen2) RFID protocol at GS1's UConnect Conference.
The RFID Gen2 display showcases Paxar's latest solution for fully EPC compliant smart label printing and encoding, including associated tickets, tags and labels. Paxar's new Gen2 smart label solution includes the Monarch 9855 RFID printer/encoder, Monarch Gen2 smart labels, and Monarch Q-Service for RFID.
Rick Bauer, Senior Director, RFID Technical Research, said, "They are at the forefront of converting the new Gen2 smart labels, from any of a variety of inlay manufacturers, and adding the variable data with outstanding in-plant RFID printer/encoders.
They have been working for months with the suppliers of Gen2 chips. Our demonstration at the UConnect Conference sends a clear signal that Paxar will be ready to move its customers to the Gen2 standard as soon as production volumes of the new chips become available later this year. Paxar is accepting Gen2 smart label orders right now for volume delivery in the third quarter."
Not only will Paxar be ready for new customer support, but also existing Paxar RFID customers, already using Monarch RFID printers and covered by the Company's exclusive Technology Investment Protection Program, will receive Gen2 upgrades to their printer/encoders free of charge. Lori Porter, Product Manager, RFIDSolutions, noted, "Customers need not wait for the full availability of Gen2 products.
