Meets Difficult Size, SKU Complexity and
Densely Packed Merchandising Display Challenges
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), a leading global supplier
of merchandise availability solutions for the retail industry,
today announced here at NRF's Annual Convention & EXPO its
Micro RFID label for health/beauty/cosmetics categories such as
hair care, over-the-counter medication and mid-size cosmetics.
Because of small sizes, SKU complexity and densely packed
merchandising displays, these categories have specific inventory
management challenges. The Micro and its previously released
companion labels – the Whisper and Slim – cover the full gamut of
products that fall within this merchandise category, allowing
retailers to tag more merchandise than ever before to maximize
their inventory visibility.
The Micro features a tiny inlay size of 25mm x 10mm and is
integrated with the Impinj® Monza® RAIN RFID R6 chip for optimal
performance with Checkpoint’s RAIN RFID solutions and other
Merchandise Visibility solutions. Micro tags can be applied over
the packaging of numerous health/beauty/cosmetics products or
directly on the products themselves.
The Micro is ISO18000-6C compliant and can be encoded and
printed to carry EPC data in several formats, with a 2D printed bar
code and human readable text.
“Our ongoing partnership is exciting as Checkpoint continues to
launch new solutions, including the Micro,” said Craig Cotton, VP
of Marketing and Product Management at Impinj. “The Monza R6 Chip
includes Integra technology that enables RAIN RFID labels to
deliver higher reliability and accuracy, which is crucial for
labels like the Micro in resolving challenging retail
deployments.”
According to Uwe Sydon, Senior Vice President & Chief
Innovation Officer, Checkpoint Systems, “We have been working with
major health and beauty retailers to provide expanded coverage for
their health/beauty/cosmetics categories. These new RAIN RFID tags
accomplish that and will help them better achieve their goals of
auto replenishment and inventory management.”
Micro RFID labels are available immediately.
