Replacing 5 Devices with 1: An All-In-One RFID Labeling System

The Challenge

For their labeling operations, our client needed a custom all-in-one RFID printing device that was compact in size but capable of printing, encoding, verifying, and capturing every label it produced.

No vendor on the market could offer such a product out of the box.

The goal was to turn a complex labeling process into a single, integrated system. That involved cutting down on equipment, minimizing manual steps, and improving traceability without compromising speed and reliability.

The Solution

In 8 weeks, we handled the project end-to-end and delivered a fully integrated unit that combined:

• RFID encoding and label printing: done in a single step
• High-res camera: for image capture and automatic verification
• Barcode scanning with EPC generation: synced in real time to existing systems
• Custom hardware: lighting, antennas, and embedded control

The entire stack was running on a cost-effective architecture.

Building, assembly, and testing, including hardware, firmware, image processing, and system logic, were all done in-house.

There were no borrowed components, delays, or compromises on quality.

The Way It Works

1. A label operator scans a product barcode using a built-in high-res camera.
2. The system decodes it and generates a unique EPC, based on the client’s traceability rules.
3. The EPC is encoded into an RFID tag, while the label is printed simultaneously.
4. A second scan verifies both the label and the RFID tag for accuracy.
5. Once validated, the system logs the EPC, barcode, and image data to a remote server via real-time sync, ensuring full auditability and traceability.

Key Outcomes

The solution delivered checked every box the client asked for. But most importantly, it redefined how they approached labeling workflows.

The real-world impact showed up in how the client responded and scaled with the solution:

• Simplified operations: One device replaced five cutting equipment, time, and error risk.
• Instant deployment: No patching or integration required. Plug in, sync, and go.
• Internal validation: The build was shared with other vendors as a model for “done fast, done right.”
• Full visibility: In-house build gave the client control and clarity for future iterations.

This outcome was possible because hardware, firmware, and system logic were developed in sync by a single team, working fast and cross-functionally, with no external dependencies.
