Industrial UHF RFID Label Printer
RLPB-Z Industrial Smart UHF RFID Label Printer
Print and encode standard or on-metal UHF RFID labels through one industrial platform with touchscreen operation, large-capacity media handling and European or US regional RFID configurations.
Store repeated label jobs locally, connect printing to enterprise data and move from visible label content to an encoded EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag in one controlled workflow.
RFID performance depends on the selected regional version, label construction, chip, inlay position, label pitch, material thickness and printer configuration. Submit actual labels for print, feed and encoding validation before production deployment.
Integrated RFID Label Workflow
From Separate Print and Encoding Steps to One Controlled Label Job
Combine visible printing, UHF RFID encoding, task selection and production output in one industrial label workstation instead of moving labels between disconnected devices and software steps.
Print, Encode and Confirm in Different Steps
More handling between the label file, printer and RFID operation
More transfers between steps and more opportunities for the printed record and encoded EPC to become disconnected.
Smart Print-and-Encode Workflow
One job links the visible label, RFID data and output configuration
Automatic failed-label marking, VOID printing, reprint logic and detailed encoding logs depend on the selected RFID and verifier configuration. Confirm these functions before publishing them as standard capabilities.
Why RLPB-Z
An Industrial RFID Printing Platform, Not Only a Print Engine
The RLPB-Z combines smart local operation, industrial media handling, UHF RFID configurations and modular finishing options for repeated label-production workflows.
Touchscreen Job Operation
Store common templates and job files locally, then select and execute repeated printing tasks from the 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen.
Industrial Media Capacity
Use label rolls up to 203.2 mm in outside diameter and ribbons up to 600 m to reduce consumable changes during continuous production.
Standard and On-Metal RFID Media
Select a configuration for regular UHF RFID labels or thick on-metal labels up to 1.6 mm including the liner.
Configurable Output and Connectivity
Choose the required resolution, regional RFID version, tear-off, peel-off or cutter mode, and wired or optional wireless connectivity.
Print and Encode Process
Move from Business Data to a Ready UHF RFID Label
Use one controlled task to connect the label template, visible content and EPC Class 1 Gen 2 data required by the asset, item, order or production record.
Receive variable content from the host system or open a supported template and local job file from the printer.
Apply text, barcodes, QR codes, graphics and other required visible data to the label.
Write the required EPC data using the European or US regional RFID configuration selected for the project.
Apply the configured confirmation and exception logic, then tear, peel or cut the completed label according to the selected option.
RFID Label Compatibility
Configure the Printer Around the Actual RFID Label
RFID printing quality depends on more than label width. Confirm the inlay position, chip, thickness, pitch, liner and final mounting surface before selecting the printer configuration.
Supports UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO/IEC 18000-63 labels in a project-specific European or US regional version.
Process common paper, synthetic and other regular UHF RFID label constructions within the supported media limits.
Use the dedicated mount-on-metal configuration for thick RFID asset labels up to 1.6 mm including the liner.
Confirm feeding, sensing, printing, encoding position and finished-label quality with the actual label sample before production.
