Speed, Quality, Efficiency and Service
Improved for Retailers With EVO, Check-Net Mobile and New Printshop
in Asia
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), a leading global supplier
of merchandise availability solutions for the retail industry,
today announced EVO, its new high-speed, high-quality production
capabilities for RFID tags and labels.
The company also announced Check-Net® Mobile App, an
order-tracking mobile app, and its expanded RFID printing
capabilities in Asia.
As more retailers realize the benefits RFID delivers, its
adoption has skyrocketed. To support their initiatives, retailers
are requiring high-quality, high-performance tags that are of
heavier weight and often uniquely shaped, which makes them unable
to be printed with conventional RFID thermal printers. Checkpoint’s
new EVO printing capability is able to encode, verify and print
variable data on high-quality, high-performance RFID labels at ten
to fifteen times faster than conventional RFID thermal
printers.
“Up until now, high-quality RFID tags required large formats and
high volumes of printing,” said James Wrigley, President and Chief
Operating Officer, Apparel Labeling Solutions, Checkpoint Systems.
“EVO’s advanced technology uses templates for a retailer’s specific
variable data, such as SKU, style code, department, size, color,
barcode and price. That, coupled with its high speed, enables a
more efficient printing process that provides retailers with
significant cost savings and a faster turnaround on orders. This is
the EVOlution of RFID.”
EVO printing is performed to the retailer’s exact
specifications, and tags can be printed on both sides. EVO allows
for printing of lower volumes of high-quality tags, reducing costs
for retailers. As with all of Checkpoint’s innovative RFID
production capabilities, EVO’s sophisticated encoding and verifying
processes, tags are double checked for RFID Electronic Product
Codes (EPC), and tag data is verified to be correct, unique and
matching any barcode on the tag that supports Quality Assurance
(QA) practices.
Checkpoint provides an Open Enterprise EPC Number Management
Solution (EENMS) that helps apparel retailers and their suppliers
manage the complex array of Enterprise Product Code (EPC) numbers
critical to providing the data integrity needed to extract the full
value of RFID.
Check-Net Mobile App Helps Improve Usability
Checkpoint’s cutting-edge global IT infrastructure, Check-Net®,
now has a new Mobile App. Check-Net Mobile is a real-time app for
smartphones and tablets that allows retailers to quickly and easily
access account information, check order status on the fly as well
as receive push notifications regarding orders. With Check-Net
Mobile, retailers can track orders all the way through the
production cycle, check orders across multiple Check-Net accounts,
and review and approve or decline orders. Both iPhones and Androids
are supported.
Expanding RFID Printing Capabilities in Asia
Checkpoint’s ALS Vietnam facility now offers thermal printing of
RFID Tags and label production capabilities.
The EVO printing capability is available immediately.
Checkpoint Systems will be discussing the new EVO machine at its
Booth #204 at RFID Journal Live May 3 – 5, 2016.
