RFID from Zebra. The smart one.

Zebra Technologies Making Waves in RFID. 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. 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 front and center in RFID solutions

Total Asset Visibility The Heart of RFID. RFID Smart Label Printer/Encoders from Zebra Every Frequency, Any Application. 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. 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. enhanced asset tracking and improved IT efficiency 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. R110Xi R170Xi

The R110PAX4 multi-protocol print engine, designed for print-and-apply systems, offers faster throughput for superior overall performance at high volumes. The R110PAX4 is ideal for distribution, inventory, and supply chain management applications in a wide range of industries including CPG, pharmaceuticals and electronics. The compact Zebra R2844-Z printer/ encoder, with the widest range of 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. The R4Mplus, with flexible configurations for regional RFID regulatory requirements, is a cost-effective and reliable performer in a wide range of global manufacturing and supplychain applications. R110PAX4 R2844-Z R4Mplus 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.

RFID Ready The Migration Path of Least Resistance. Zebra Integrates Well. ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise Simplified Network Management for Every Printer/Encoder. The Zebra line of RFID Ready printers allows companies to invest in the bar code printers they need today, while providing a simple migration path to the RFID technology they ll need in the future. RFID Ready models can be upgraded as needed with a fully integrated reader/encoder for various transponder types, including: EPC Class 1, Generation 2 (Gen 2) EPC Class 1, Generation 1 EPC Class 0 ISO 18000-06B ISO 18000-3 ISO 15693 TI Tag-it Philips I-Code For the most current list of upgrade units and transponder types, check with Zebra or an authorized RFID partner. 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. * Source: North America s 2006 Enterprise IT Spending Outlook, Forrester Research, February 3, 2006 With robust integration from Zebra comes operational advantages that save time and money. ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise printer management software, for example, allows easy, centralized configuration and realtime management of multiple printer/ encoders from a single PC screen anywhere on your global network. With a simple drag and drop or cut and paste, the familiar Windows - like user interface enables reliable downloads of firmware and label formats, consistent help-desk alerts and configurations across multiple, defined user groups. easy, centralized configuration and real-time management
