NCR RFID labels certified by Alien

NCR Corporation today announced that its Systemedia Division, a manufacturer of printer consumables, has been certified under Alien Technology Corporation's qualification program for radio frequency identification (RFID) label converters.
 Alien Technology's certification confirms that NCR RFID label products are manufactured to Alien's specifications for high performance in a Class-1 UHF environment. The NCR solution is designed to reduce failure rates for manufacturers by increasing the reliability and consistency of RFID labels for cases and pallet marking -- offering a label supply that approaches 100 percent reliability.
"Manufacturers need a high-quality, reliable RFID product in scaleable quantities. NCR understands that production or receiving lines cannot slow down for faulty labels," said Mark Quinlan, vice president and general manager for NCR's Systemedia Division. "Participation in Alien Technology's qualified partner program demonstrates our ability to maximize label reliability in a high-speed, large-capacity production environment. Our ISO 9002 processes will hold that quality and consistency over time."
NCR claims that its high-capacity equipment and processes utilize automated inspection of RF components, which speeds-up manufacturing, while increasing product yields and reliability. Product reliability helps RFID users reduce operational, labor and resource costs, and create supply-chain efficiencies.
