Avery Dennison Printer Systems Division partners with OATSystems

Avery Dennison and OATSystems have entered into a partnership to accelerate the adoption of RFID solutions through the OATedge program.

The newly introduced OATedge program provides manufacturers and retailers with packaged and proven asset tracking solutions, ready to run, out-of-the-box. By packaging proven hardware and software as a single solution, delivered by an OAT certified partner, Avery Dennison and OATSystems claim to ‘dramatically’ reduce the risk and complexity of RFID deployments, enabling organizations to realize value quickly. ‘Customers can be up and running in weeks instead of months, and reap immediate benefit by automating and error-proofing the complex process of tracking reusable assets and their contents,’ said a statement.

RFID technology adoption has often been hampered by the complexity of developing, testing and deploying custom solutions. With certified solutions used by hundreds of organizations worldwide, customers can focus on driving value for their businesses, instead of managing costly, custom development projects. The OATedge program enables organizations to respond immediately to mis-shipments and delivery errors, increasing both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

‘With five years of RFID deployment experience and over 200 customer implementations in retail, consumer goods manufacturers and suppliers to DoD, Avery Dennison is committed to driving business value. By providing configurable solutions that eliminate the need for custom development, the OATedge program will enable Monarch RFID printer/encoder customers to transform their business operations and achieve competitive advantage,’ said Rick Bauer, director of RFID global program development, Avery Dennison Printer Systems Division.

‘OATSystems is focused on delivering integrated RFID solutions that provide benefits out-of-the box, without requiring significant investments in testing, training and infrastructure. Avery Dennison’s expertise is key to ensure seamless RFID solution deployment and to reduce time-to-value for our mutual customers,’ said OATSystems’ CEO Michael George.
