CYBRA Partner Paxar recently announced a groundbreaking
smart label performance guarantee. The program offers
users of Monarch® Class 1 RFID labels and tags, encoded
with the Monarch® 9855™ RFID printer/encoder, a 110% money
back guarantee for any labels that prove to be unreadable.
“Read rates of RFID labels are critical," says Rick Bauer, Paxar's Senior
Director, RFID Technical Research. "One of the issues the
industry has dealt with has been a high failure rate of
the antennas and chips in the labels. At Paxar, we
addressed this problem. As an integral part of our smart
label production process, we test each chip twice to make
sure it is "live". We not only discard any chips that
fail, we also discard chips that exhibit low performance
characteristics. When the user runs our RFID labels
through our printer/encoder, the label is tested yet
again. If it fails this time, the printer overstrikes it
with an aggressive bar pattern, making it obvious that the
label is not good.
“With our smart labels undergoing three rounds of testing,
we are confident that users will achieve 100% read rates.
Furthermore, we are prepared to offer a full refund, plus
an additional 10%, for any label returned to us for
inspection that cannot be programmed by our
printer/encoder or cannot be read. With this program,
users know that smart labels from Paxar will be readable
and that they will not experience high failure rates that
could be disastrous to their RFID implementation.”
Bauer reiterates that while the guarantee applies only to
customers using Monarch RFID printer/encoders and
supplies, customers running Monarch supplies through other
brands of printing/encoding equipment will receive the
same high quality supplies that have been thoroughly
tested before delivery.
