Zebra R110Xi And R170Xi: Multi-Protocol Printer/Encoders For EPC UHF Tags

Unprecedented Flexibility in RFID Printer/Encoders

Built on the solid, tested XiIIIPlus platform, Zebra's R110Xi and R170Xi printer/encoders offer an unprecedented level of on-demand printing flexibility in tag placement and label size (4-inch and 6-inch), as well as unique features such as XML encoding for a seamless integration into enterprise systems, automatic inlay position calibration, program positioning, multiple power levels for precisely encoding small labels, and statistics tracking, which allows customers to track the number of good and unusable labels.

In addition to providing advanced UHF EPC-compliant Class 1, Class 0, Matrics' 0 read/write, and ISO 18000-06B capabilities, Zebra's R110Xi and R170Xi are the only printer/encoders to embed ThingMagic's Mercury4e RFID reader module, which supports both multiple protocols and multiple antennas. The Mercury4e uses advanced software-defined radio technology to read any tag, including all variants of EPC Class 1 and 0, as well as Matrics 0 , ISO 18000-06B and Philips UCODE 1.19, with no compromise in performance. The reader's unique software architecture also allows remote software upgrades for new protocols, including the forthcoming EPC Generation 2. ThingMagic LLC is a leading developer of RFID sensing and embedded computing technologies and the inventor of the agile RFID reader and the first EPC-reader.

The high-performance R110Xi (for 4-inch smart labels) and the R170Xi (for 6-inch smart labels) have been designed for case- and pallet-level identification for companies needing to streamline logistics and supply chain management and other applications including:

• Asset Tracking
• Inventory Management
• Work in Process
• Shipping/Receiving
• Distribution
