SATO says it can make RFID tags for 14.9 cents
SATO America said Friday it can produce four-inch by two-inch radio frequency identification thermal labels for a retail cost of 14.9 cents, about 2 cents below the industry norm.
Speakers at an RFID conference in Las Vegas Oct. 4-5 said the typical price for such labels is 17 cents, but that the technology won’t be ubiquitous until that number reaches about 5 cents.
RFID labels contain unique product information, expanding on basic barcode information, which is picked up by radio frequency readers. The technology is considered key to supply chain visibility over the next five years.
