A long-time supplier for manufacturer Kirk-Rudy, AMS Mailing Solutions has highlighted the versatility of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.
RFID technology is used to ensure accurate data and verification for applications such as tags, encompassing labels, hang tags, hard tags, and fabric labels.
Utilising low-power radio waves to receive, store, and transmit data to nearby readers, RFID tags consist of a microchip or integrated circuit (IC), an antenna, and a protective material layer that holds all components together.
According to IDTechEX, the retail apparel sector needed over 20 billion RFID labels in 2022 with RFID technology currently making up around 26% of the entire addressable market for apparel in the same year.
Supplied by AMS, Kirk-Rudy’s RFID Encoding System feeds, transports, reads, encodes, and verifies RFID tags quickly and includes an inkjet printing system, stacking system, RFID label applicator, and conveyor.
The high-speed RFID Tag Encoding System was developed for encoding and imprinting hang tags used in the garment industry but has evolved to be used in direct mail, wet inlays, dry inlays, labels, wristbands, hard tags, cards, stickers, and fobs.
“At its core, the Kirk-Rudy RFID Encoding System comprises a feeder, PC and software, camera, encoder, and bases,” says Mansur Ali, adding: “The unique software is specifically crafted to read, encode, validate, and track RFID tags.”
