Zebra R2844, R2844-Z, R110Xi, R170Xi Product Brochure

RFID from Zebra. The smart one.

Radio frequency identification—using
radio waves to embed and extract key
information in real time—is revolutionizing
industrial automation, supply chain and
asset management, and track-and-trace
systems across the public and private
sectors. As a leading manufacturer of
RFID printer/encoders and smart labels,
Zebra Technologies plays a central role in
pioneering global RFID technologies and
standards development while assuring
a clear migration path for its customers’
legacy systems and equipment.

Zebra Technologies—
Making Waves in RFID.

Leadership in RFID Development.

Since smart-label technology first appeared in the mid-1990s,
Zebra Technologies has been front and center in strategic
research, key technical advances, practical applications and
RFID solutions.

• Member of EPCglobal, the Department of Defense (DoD)
AIM RFID Expert Group and other standards bodies

• First to introduce a commercially available RFID smart-label
printer/encoder (R-140

™

)

• First to market with EPC UHF Class 1 printer/encoder (R4Mplus™)

• Worked with key parties to define consensus proposals for
the EPCglobal Generation 2 (Gen 2) RFID protocol standard

• Supports both HF and UHF protocols

From rugged, reliable, on-demand
thermal printer/encoders to passive
RFID smart labels of every size, type
and frequency, Zebra crosses tech­nological and global boundaries to
offer solutions that meet the widest
range of business objectives.

•

Genuine Zebra smart media is
optimized for use in Zebra printer/
encoders. Zebra’s label-converting
facilities provide access to the
broadest range of high-quality,
cost-competitive RFID smart media,
with UHF and HF inlays from top
manufacturers. All 100 percent
inspected to ensure readability and
Zebra-brand reliability.

The multi-protocol, high-performance
R110Xi™HF/UHF and R170Xi™UHF
printer/encoders streamline logistics/
supply chain management and other
applications such as asset tracking,
inventory management, work in
process, shipping/receiving and
distribution. These models, built on
the robust

Xi™series platform, offer

extreme reliability, advanced printer
management tools and secure
connectivity solutions.

Where bar codes enable efficient
tracking of distinctive SKUs, RFID’s
ability to simultaneously and speedily
read multiple tagged items without
line-of-sight scanning makes the
quantum leap to tracking individual
units an economic reality. With smart
labels embedded with microchip
transponders, and using Zebra

®

RFID
printer/ encoders, it’s now possible
to track each unit—each can, bottle,
ticket or prescription—through the
manufacturing process, through
distribution and to the destination.
And that’s just the beginning. Zebra
helps companies capitalize on RFID
with tools that help achieve better
information management, enhanced
asset tracking and, more importantly,
improved IT efficiency, lower total cost
of ownership (TCO) and better ROI.

Total Asset Visibility—
The Heart of RFID.

The R110PAX4™multi-protocol print
engine, designed for print-and-apply
systems, offers faster throughput for
superior overall performance at high
volumes. The R110

PAX4 is ideal for

distribution, inventory, and supply
chain management applications in
a wide range of industries including
CPG, pharmaceuticals and electronics.

SimplyRFID is a company that has experienced the genuine Zebra difference.

“We printed 15,000 RFID labels in less than five hours with zero jams,

100 percent scannable bar codes and 99.9 percent ‘GOOD TAGS’!
Not a single wrinkle or misprint, at a speed of eight inches per second.
Plus, the print quality was rich and strong.”

13.56 MHz HF RFID transponders, is
the ideal desktop solution for smaller
spaces or lower-volume printing in
patient care, delivery services, library
book/video check-out, sensitive
document tracking, and tag/ticket
printing applications.

ZebraNet™Bridge Enterprise—
Simplified Network Management
for Every Printer/Encoder.

In a recent survey, improving efficiency
is ranked as a top priority for the majority
of IT departments nationwide.* For more
than 90 percent of Fortune 500
companies, Zebra has helped improve
operational efficiencies by successfully
integrating on-demand thermal
printing solutions into growing IT
infrastructures. Now Zebra is helping
simplify and speed integration of RFID
label printing in many of today’s leading
supply chain management and
manufacturing system applications,
including those offered by Oracle and
SAP. Zebra’s Extensible Markup
Language (XML)-enabled
printer/encoders lower the total cost of
ownership by eliminating the costs of
software licensing, print server
hardware, and system administration
and programming. And Zebra
is a global leader with UHF RFID printer/
encoders now available to customers
in over 40 countries on five continents.
