Media Overview
The ZT410 Silverline Solution is ideal for on-demand RFID asset tagging for all surfaces,
including metal and liquid-filled containers. The benefits of RFID are well known in industries
from manufacturing and retail to transportation and healthcare. RFID systems—labels,
printers/encoders, and readers—enable inventory and equipment tracking in real time, helping
you make maximum use of virtually all of your assets.
There has, however, been one glaring RFID gap. RFID read performance deteriorates
significantly when a traditional RFID label is applied on a metal surface or to a liquid-filled
asset. This limits the use of RFID technology for tracking valuable assets like tools,
automotive and machine parts, IT equipment, returnable containers, medical devices and
equipment and liquid filled containers. To produce an effective read range, tags must be
slightly thicker than traditional RFID labels, making them incompatible with standard thermal
RFID printers.
Zebra and Confidex have worked together to develop a unique solution consisting of a
redesigned ZT410 RFID printer, optimized Silverline labels, and high-quality Zebra ribbons.
This combination provides for excellent print quality, encoding accuracy, and ease of solution
deployment and use. Silverline labels, offered exclusively by Zebra, are available in three sizes
to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications.
