Keeping up with changing customer and regulatory requirements for barcode labels and radio-frequency identification (RFID) continues to be a costly and cumbersome burden for many manufacturers and distributors. Requirements stem from customer mandates, government regulations and the need for internal labels to facilitate supply chain transactions. Responding to these requirements, particularly across multiple divisions and geographies, places an undue administrative burden on the organization. The consequences of noncompliance include charge-backs, regulatory violations and strained customer relations. Other symptoms of poor label management include inventory management issues, unnecessary system downtime, duplication of effort across facilities and receiving bottlenecks.

In this paper you will learn how TAKE Supply Chain has developed a scalable, rules-based barcode label and RFID print management platform that allows business users — not IT programmers — to effectively administer tagging output and compliance programs. By alleviating the IT staff of this burden, label compliance is achieved at a lower cost and higher quality, allowing the organization to be proactive in its use of auto identification (auto ID) technology throughout the extended supply chain.

Read on to learn how your company can increase efficiency while decreasing costs with RFID label management.
