types like standard smart labels, on-metal tags and thick returnable transport item( RTI) labels.
RFID technology into an operation without the upfront investment.
• The integrated ODV device enables RFID labels to be printed, verified and encoded in a single pass. Such automation minimises both risks of human error and costly compliance fines: no operator intervention is also a much-needed win in times of staff shortages!
Industrial environments demand rugged hardware
While TSC Auto ID’ s T6000e sets new standards for productivity and versatility, its powerful and reliable T8000 Series can withstand the harshest of environments. Tested to work at temperatures from a sub-zero-5 ° C right up to a sweltering + 40 ° C, its robust all-metal enclosure is highly resilient in grimy, industrialised settings.
The T8000 comfortably operates 24 / 7 and can print up to 15,000 labels a day. This workhorse, which is available in 4”, 6” and 8” versions, will keep printing in tough surroundings where other printers cannot survive. It too can be fitted with an ODV to ensure 100 % scannable barcodes are printed every time.
Future-proofing labelling capabilities
BDO claims UK manufacturers needed to buy both the right solution for now and the right solution to grow into the future.
The beauty of TSC’ s T6000e mid-range industrial printer is that, if manufacturers aren’ t quite ready to make the switch to the smart benefits of RFID then upgrade kits are offered on the standard model, which provide a cost-effective solution to later integrate
Both the T6000e and T8000 Series offer 100 % verifiable output through the optional ODV and, while its benefits may not appear immediately obvious, they can easily and quickly translate into good returns.
Compliance demands are rising. Inaccurate, unreadable or badly formatted barcode labels look unprofessional but worse, they can cost manufacturers not only rejected shipments and fines but also impacts on company reputation.
In normal operation, 99.9 % of barcode labels print just fine but that means one in 1,000 is grading below specification. If taken over a month’ s production, printing 5,000 labels a day, 100 labels could be failing. Assuming compliance fines are $ 20 + per label – not uncommon in the US- manufacturers could be coughing up $ 2,000 per month in chargebacks. The cost of TSC’ s ODV-2D could easily be recouped by avoiding just one fine.
As track and trace regulation increases, so too will label inspection. Be prepared with the ODV-2D, it verifies and validates every 1D or 2D label as it’ s printed, automatically replacing those that fail to conform.
In demanding automation, control and engineering environments, enterprise solutions like the T6000e and T8000 Series offer a way to significantly and reliably improve productivity. If you think your operation could benefit from these industrial printers then contact TSC.
