SATO and Loftware have unveiled the world’s first cloud-based RFID tag encoding and logging solution. The solution, using SATO RFID printers, tags, and Loftware’s NiceLabel Cloud software is designed to meet the strictest track and trace, brand authenticity, and authentication needs for manufacturers. The solution helps producers of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods meet stringent traceability requirements.
The solution logs the EPC and unique tag ID for every tag encoded, enabling “closed-loop” tagging. By logging and mapping the EPC and unique ID to the database via NiceLabel Cloud, the SATO solution automatically keeps a unique record of every tag after encoding and allows users to know exactly which factory, country, and printer generated it.
Loftware NiceLabel is available on-premise and in the cloud. Customers may start with an on-premise solution and then migrate to the cloud as they scale their labeling across applications, facilities, and countries.
In addition to central data management, this extra layer of automation provides compliance with traceability requirements and eliminates the possibility of counterfeits. It complements the suite of RFID products already available for item-level traceability.
The SATO CT4-LX desktop printer and CL4/6NX Plus industrial printer line are compatible with the Loftware NiceLabel Cloud RFID tagging solution. Other hardware planned for support include the S84NX print engine.
