RFID Cycle Counting: Increase Inventory Collection Speed at Lower Costs

Thursday, June 30^th, 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM ET

Presented By:

Matt Smith – SLS

Christopher Vassilos – Barcodes

Why RFID for Cycle Counting is Transformative

Most businesses today conduct inventory counts as part of their operations. Traditional means of collecting this data include tallying products on a count sheet or scanning barcodes off product labeling, both of which are time consuming and prone to error.

Using RFID technology for cycle counting reduces labor cost and automates the workflow. The result is greater accuracy, improved asset utilization, as well as reducing lost or out of inventory situations.

During this webinar, you will be shown the following:

• A demonstration of cycle counting using RFID technology in action
• An overview of the components of the SLS Mobile Solution
• Various scenarios of deployment, including the use of robotics

Zebra’s full line of certified labels ensures that your printer provides the quality, reliability, and performance you expect.

Printing supplies can impact everything from printhead lifespan to operational efficiency. That’s why Zebra designs, produces, and rigorously pre-tests our own line of thermal printing supplies to ensure consistent, optimized performance of your Zebra printer. Zebra labels are also known as Certified Zebra Supplies.

Genuine Zebra Labels: Available in Many Different Materials

Zebra paper labels are designed for shipping labels and short-term asset tags.

Zebra polypropylene labels handle demanding internal environments.

Zebra polyester labels provide superior print quality with an extremely rugged material to survive any internal or external environment.

Zebra labels also come in hard-to-find label sizes and can be created custom to your specific requirements. Which Zebra label is right for your printer?

Direct Thermal Printer Labels

Direct thermal printers utilize a chemically treated label/stock that turns black when the thermal printhead applies heat to the surface of the material. These printers don’t require any ribbon, ink, or toner to print, making them a very cost-effective solution. Direct thermal printing can fade over time and should avoid excessive heat or exposure to sunlight for best results. 

Thermal Transfer Printer Labels

Thermal transfer printers are the perfect solution for long term labeling as they utilize a ribbon for printing. As the printhead applies heat to the ribbon, it melts onto the label surface which can be a variety of materials including polyester and polypropylene. With a longer lifespan and options for rugged label materials, thermal printers are ideal for product labeling, inventory and asset tracking, and outdoor applications.

Benefits of Zebra Print Labels

Zebra and Barcodes offer label solutions which fit a wide variety of operational printing needs. Genuine Zebra labels enhance operations and reduce costs with:

• Superior print quality
• Extremely rugged material that can survive in any internal or external environment
• Various sizes, materials and adhesive types

Honeywell’s new industrial printer, the PD45S, is designed for manufacturing, retail, transportation & logistics, healthcare, and government applications.

The PD45S is equipped with standard features such as smart printing functionality, which allows users to customize and fine-tune settings without a host computer by running apps directly within the printer — minimizing the need to connect to a PC.

With Honeywell’s print platform that supports many print languages, the PD45S is a viable option to the market’s other printers.

Uniquely constructed with minimal internal mechanical components and an all-metal frame, PD45S is strong and long-lasting. This offers our printer a robust, compact, and streamlined appearance, making it suited for usage in a variety of environments and applications.

Users may easily monitor the state of the printer and its consumables via a large glass window. A side aperture facilitates loading of ribbon and paper. This is also where used liners may be collected and removed with ease.

The PD45S is powered by an 800MHz Arm Cortex-A7 processor, 128MB of RAM, and 128MB of DDR3 SDRAM. It has a sophisticated industrial print head that enables both direct thermal printing and thermal transfer printing.

Unique dual sensor positioning technology from Honeywell enables a dynamic positioning feature that guarantees a minimum label height of 5 mm and vertical position precision of 0.5 mm.

Two sets of adjustable pressure bars and two media guides provide correct paper feeding and prevent ribbon wrinkling and printing grime.

The print head may be simply swapped out and replaced due to its extremely ergonomic design. The front sensor that enables precise printing may also be simply removed to facilitate rubber roller cleaning and replacement. The PD45S supports numerous printer command languages, including FP/DP/IPL/ZPL/DPL, one-key driver installation, and simple Windows configuration.

The PD45S supports wireless network interface card, parallel interface card, labeling machine interface card, industrial GPIO, and serial interface card. Additionally, the PD45S comes with a variety of accessories. In addition, it incorporates assembly for peeling, rewinding, and cutting to accommodate a vast array of application scenarios.
