This year we were represented for the first time with our own booth at the LogiMAT trade fair. We were able to welcome numerous visitors and make many contacts.

Interesting discussions arose, among other things, from the presentation of our Dual Frequency Label.herpa print and herpa tech presented a hybrid RFID label that combines the advantages of UHF and HF technology (NFC technology). The name of the new product is "Dual Frequency Label". The special feature of this dual frequency label is that the programming of both frequencies on the chip and the printing of the label, e.g. with a barcode or QR code, are carried out in a single operation.

One label – 3 Identification Solutions

The new HF – UHF label combines 3 identification solutions: barcode / 2D code readable by mobile phone or imager, NFC reading with NDEF formats for close range readable with any NFC-enabled smartphone or iPhone and UHF reading with bulk detection for the long distance, e.g. at the picking station. Dual Frequency Labels have been on the market for about 2 years and are now also available in new interesting formats. Our innovation with this label is that we convert the chips and other components of the label in such a way that both frequencies can then be printed and programmed in a single step using the thermal transfer process. This means significant time savings for our customers, especially in logistics, industry or in the pharmaceutical & medical sector. In addition, the label also offers the possibility of being read by mobile phone, which is a great advantage for inspection, service and maintenance documentation, for example.

By programming and printing at the same time, the stored RFID data and the visible information on the label are always in sync. Serial numbers or product names stored in the barcode and printed on the visible side of the label will exactly match the data stored on the RFID chip at the same time.

The use of the Dual Frequency Label is particularly practical for applications in the warehouse or in retail, as the information is readable by both people and machines. But also in areas where fast and reliable service or maintenance documentation is possible via smartphone.
