Brady Corporation’s new i7500 Industrial RFID Label Printer prints and encodes the first RFID label correctly, reducing waste during calibration
The printer automatically locates label RFID chips to select the right internal antenna and power level that optimally encode UHF RFID labels currently loaded in the printer.
The Brady printer’s unique technology reduces label waste even further, limits void labels, avoids time loss in production environments and adds great practicality for non-expert RFID printer users. Brady has stated that the technology can accurately recognise RFID chips, even on labels as small as 15mm wide.
The patent-pending print and encoding technologies included in Brady’s i7500 RFID make the printer easy to use in a wide range of industrial contexts. They let industries switch UHF RFID label types on a single printer, without label waste with each consumable change.
Automated setup
The i7500 RFID has setup times under 3 minutes for large, small, on-metal (up to 2mm thick) and off-metal UHF RFID labels.
The printer’s exceptional material setup and calibration speed reinforced its ability to protect industrial operational throughput. Designed to keep the line moving, Brady’s new RFID printer reduces support interventions, UHF RFID tag scrap, component scrap, unplanned downtime and production bottlenecks, all at a print and encode speed of 3 seconds per label.
High-accuracy data
The i7500 RFID printer includes automated UHF RFID label encoding verification, including large pallet labels and small component tags. At the same time, it can add human-legubles and tiny machine-readable QR codes and barcodes for legacy applications, in 300 and 600dpi.
Data can be sourced from company systems and sent to the printer via Ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Common data standards can all be printed and encoded, including GS1 for worldwide unique RFID EPC codes and barcodes at the item level.
Track and trace
The BradyPrinter i7500 RFID brings on-premise RFID printing to a wider range of industries. Highly reliable and easy to use, the printer does not require extensive technical expertise nor large amounts of excess labels to waste in calibration.
The new i7500 RFID label printer is part of Brady’s complete industrial RFID solution, which includes reliable RFID labels, RFID readers, and RFID software, enabling next-level track & trace advantages.
Trigger IoT events and automations when scanning a label or a specific volume of labels; enable home-in applications on tagged assets; improve just-in-time tracking, automated inventory, and cargo control; strengthen compliance in advanced industrial supply chains; or link products to their digital passports with RFID.
The BradyPrinter i7500 RFID can give any asset, item, and product a unique digital identity that can be read from a distance, without requiring line of sight. The new RFID printer completes Brady’s quality traceability offering, enabling reliable track and trace in any industry with barcodes and/or RFID.
