Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method for generating RFID labels using automated RFID encoding, and verification of RFID labels post generation. In some aspect, generating RFID labels may be done using a label printer and an easy-to-attach RFID encoder. The RFID encoder may include an RFID controller coupled to a network, one or more antennas, a barcode scanner, and one or more optical detectors. As printed RFID labels pass through the label printer, the RFID encoder receives serialization data on the printed labels, which is translated into encode data by the RFID encoder and mask encoded into the RFID labels.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for synchronizing a radio frequency identification (RFID) label printing and encoding using a label printer and an RFID encoder communicably connected thereto, the method comprising:
- scanning an image of a serialization data printed by the label printer on one of a plurality of RFID labels on a moving roll;
- receiving, by the RFID encoder, the serialization data;
- reading a transponder ID (TID) of the one of the plurality of RFID labels on the moving roll;
- transforming the serialization data into an encode data;
- and
- mask encoding, by the RFID encoder, the one of the plurality of RFID labels with the encode data, wherein the mask encoding is synchronized with the reading.
A system for synchronizing a radio frequency identification (RFID) label printing and encoding using a label printer and an RFID encoder communicably connected thereto, comprising:
- a processor,
- a memory communicably connected to the processor storing a set of instructions thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes the RFID encoder to perform operations comprising:
- scanning an image of a serialization data printed by the label printer on one of a plurality of RFID labels on a moving roll;
- receiving the serialization data;
- reading a transponder ID (TID) of the one of the plurality of RFID labels on the moving roll;
- transforming the serialization data into an encode data;
- and
- mask encoding the one of the plurality of RFID labels with the encode data, wherein the mask encoding is synchronized with the reading.
