Identification & tracking systems for the apparel and retail markets company, Paxar Corporation and the supplier of Monarch products and services, announced its complete Gen2 RFID printing/encoding plus tag and label solution is fully released and is available for immediate shipment. All of Paxar's RFID solutions, including the Gen2 components, will be demonstrated at the EPCglobal U. S. Conference, starting September 13 in Atlanta.
The Monarch 9855 RFMP multi-protocol printer/encoder has been fully tested and qualified to operate with Monarch Gen2 Smart Labels using the EPC Gen2 inlays from Texas Instruments. "They've thoroughly tested the performance of the Monarch printer/encoder and Gen2 Smart Labels, and received outstanding results," said Rick Bauer, Senior Director, RFID Technical Research. "Their initial Gen2 inlays are from Texas Instruments and are very reliable. Paxar customers will see the same kind of reliability, with encode and read rates approaching 100 percent, that they've experienced with very successful Class 1 solutions. They are so confident of it, they've extended Smart Label Performance Guarantee to the new Gen2 product."
The Monarch Smart Label Performance Guarantee, now covering the Gen2 products, offers a full refund, plus an additional 10 percent, for any label returned to Paxar for inspection that could not be programmed by the Monarch printer/encoder, or cannot be read. "Since each Monarch Smart Label used in a Monarch printer/encoder undergoes three separate rounds of tests, they are so sure that users will achieve 100 percent read rates, they are able to offer 110 percent credit for any product that does not perform," added Bauer. Other Gen2 inlays, from a wide variety of manufacturers, will be added to the program by the end of September.
