Schober To Showcase RFID Technology at drupa
CINCINNATI, Ohio—Schober will exhibit its STP (Smart Tag and Ticket Processor) at drupa stand 11/A44. This machine incorporates Schober’s second Generation RFID technology with the ability to read HF, UHF and EPC GEN 2 tags.
The STP product line is designed for contactless readable tickets for public transportation, entrance/access authorization, security identification, as well as airport baggage tracking tags, pallet and case tracking, asset and supply chain management, and more.
New features on this second generation RFID technolgy include a redesigned tag dispenser with web tensioning, strategically placed start/stop buttons, and greater information gathering capabilities. An optional static discharge protection package rounds out the new features. Wet or dry inlays are placed under a pre-printed web (or multiple webs), for a cost-effective RFID solution. Interchangeable laminating, diecutting (including cut and place) and punching stations provide flexibility in the processing steps, allowing jobs to be completed in reel, zig-zag folded, or as single product. On board RFID readers ensure the readability of each RFID tag. Inkjet printing and encoding are available (optional).
This STP technology is built upon the Schober RFID-TI platform. This solution to entry into the RFID arena has many standard features built in which are designed for easy operation and maintainence. Examples include an automatic web guide system for base material, mechanical cross-register for transponders, auto-advance for missing transponders, servo-driven labeling head for opaque and transparent label reels, and electronic rewinder with tension control for assembled labels.
