SAMSys Technologies RFID readers successfully integrated into SATO printers
DURHAM, NC, March 2 /CNW/ - SAMSys Technologies Inc. (SMY:TSX-VEN)
("SAMSys"), an international provider of radio frequency identification (RFID)
hardware solutions, today announced the full integration of their RFID readers
into SATO America's line of RFID-enabled printers.
Using ultra-high frequency (UHF) chips embedded in the labels, the custom
SAMSys module enables SATO RFID printers to print the label and program the
chip inside the label simultaneously. These RFID-enabled "smart labels" can be
read either by an EPC Class 1 reader, or by human-readable label printout
allowing reading operations to be done automatically, reducing labor costs and
improving accuracy. Additionally, the information encoded onto many smart
labels can be changed during their lifetime, eliminating the need to remove
and re-label items. The SATO printers with RFID capability are designed for
many applications, including anti-theft, asset tracking, supply chain
logistics, baggage tags, and factory automation.
"Our partnership with SATO is yet another example of SAMSys' ongoing
avocation for the widespread adoption of RFID throughout the supply chain,"
says Cliff Horwitz, Chairman and CEO of SAMSys. "By integrating SAMSys' RFID
reader technology, SATO's EPC Class 1-compliant RFID printing solution is now
running in the Wal-Mart RFID testing and development lab located in
Bentonville, Arkansas. We look forward to working with SATO on further
industry leading projects and the continued success of RFID adoption in the
supply chain."
SAMSys' comprehensive line of RFID readers spans low frequency, high
frequency and UHF, supports a broad range of protocols and standards, and
enables implementation without the fear of near term obsolescence. For almost
10 years SAMSys has played an active role in RFID industry and has
consistently advocated an RFID adoption strategy based upon the optimization
of functionality, multi-protocol reader architectures, and ease of reader
interrogation. SAMSys also provides consulting services that focus on the
front-end of the RFID implementation process.
