Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that allows for identification and tracking by microchip. It does this through storing information in the microchip on the tag and delivering that information to a reader through the attached antenna. So, does this technology have the potential to complement and enhance automation? Well, the short answer is […]

Here we will cover the basics of RFID frequency to make your decision-making process more manageable. Before deciding what type of RFID systems to review and test in an RFID solution, it is essential to determine the application. One reason this is so critical is the properties of the RFID labels themselves. RFID-enhanced labels have […]

What is RFID coupling? Coupling refers to the method of linking or “coupling” the RFID tag and reader/antenna to one another. Coupling allows the reader to recognize and retrieve information from the tag. Inductive and radiative coupling are the two primary types of coupling in an RFID system. Whether inductive or radiative coupling is used […]

Tire barcode sequence management services are required when labeling and identifying tires, whether it will be managed by the label supplier or the user of the labels. These services are typically a mix of software systems and manual checks that are designed to ensure there are no duplicate barcodes printed by keeping track of all […]

Labeling and identification methods enable a returnable transport tracking system to support an organized, efficient, and economical distribution in the supply chain. That being said, it is especially important for pallets, totes, and containers to be well-labeled to ensure the supply chain can run smoothly and without errors. If companies experience shrinkage—the pallets, totes, or […]

If you are working in the Transfusion Medicine community, you are likely familiar with Donation Number label sets. These label sets are utilized to identify blood donations and ensure that all required information is present on every bag, tube, and donor document.

Cryogenic storage labels are an everyday necessity for sample management across the healthcare industry, as many samples require cryogenic storage, which are extremely cold temperatures and harsh chemical exposure. Typical paper labels may come to mind when you consider price. Still, those are not well suited for cryogenic applications, which require specialized materials and adhesives […]

Reliable barcodes and labels in the laboratory are crucial, as you are often dealing with human samples and specimens or chemical tests that require tracking accuracy and high ethical standards. Another thing to note is that labeling is typically not ‘one size fits all,’ meaning that all laboratory processes are different, and have different label […]

Inefficiencies in a lab do an excellent job of slowing down processes and not allowing your facility to live up to its total throughput potential. Embarking on an effort to reduce these inefficiencies is what intimidates many labs as it can seem like a big undertaking; but really, the biggest challenge often lies in pinpointing […]
