RFID Printers

Advanced and accurate

RFID is the answer for situations where large volumes of tagged items need to be quickly and accurately identified. On top of providing 100% accuracy, RFID is especially designed for dynamic situations where high speed information transparency is required. With 100% accuracy, high speed data rates and orientation insensitive tagging capability, SATO delivers RFID solutions to meet the needs of the most complex business environment.

SATO RFID printer/encoders for UPC and UHF are engineered to support a diversity of applications across industries and their compliance standards. Known for being one of the first adopters of RFID encoding and printer technology, SATO has the right RFID solution of printers, software and RFID tags and labels, that deliver years of dependable and versatile performance.

RFID Thermal Printers

Need a solution that’s supply chain proven and offers the most recent industry specification compliance?

Short for Radio Frequency Identification, RFID is auto-ID technology that is anticipated to enable advanced information services and bring us closer to a ubiquitous society.

Besides barcodes, two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, and magnetic stripe cards that are conventionally used to carry data, newer technologies such as RFID, voice recognition and biometrics are now being introduced at a greater speed for improving business operations and security.

As RFID develops and its product lineup continues to expand, the technology is set to become an increasingly important tool for item-level identification, traceability, environmental sustainability, and many other applications in various industries such as manufacturing, logistics, retail, service and transportation.
