The SPEDE System supports a wide variety of RFID and RF data collection devices and label printers.
The patented SPEDE Push-Button Labeling solution solves the problem of mis-labeling containers of Finished Parts. Installed in the work cell, the RF Push-button can be configured to print only the correct label for the Part being made at that line. Labels are printed on-demand by simply pushing the button. This action sends an RF signal to the SPEDE server, which sends the correct data to the label printer in that work cell.
A similar RFID-enabled device triggers a label to print when te operator's RFID badge is read, for audit control and accountability.

The SPEDE Line-side Labeler solution uses the new Symbol MK500, a compact RF TouchScreen, to automate and error-proof the process of printing container labels on-demand in the work cell.
Installed at line-side, the MK500 can be configured to print only the label for the Part Number being made. The SPEDE Labeling Software displays the Part Number onscreen. Labels are printed by simply touching the screen.
The MK500 can display a virtual keyboard, and status messages such as the quantiity of labels printed, pack count data and more. With a mere 5" footprint, the MK500 also features three programmable buttons, 3.5" color display, integrated barcode scanner and Windows CE operating system.
The Symbol RD5000 mobile RFID reader can be mounted to forklifts and other movable equipment to bring the RFID reader right to the inventory. The RD5000 can also be mounted to Receiving and Shipping dock entrances to read RFID tags as they move past.
With the SPEDE RFID Crane Locator System, the RD5000 is mounted to an overhead crane to automatically identify and track items as they are hoisted and moved. The RD5000 reads the serialized RFID tag on the item and automatically verifies the item for accuracy, before recording the inventory transaction (putaway, move, pick, ship). RF Laser Range Finders mounted atop the crane automatically record the item's location.
Fixed-mount RFID antennas and readers, mounted at Shipping /Receiving docks, read Master labels as they pass by, and transmit the data to SPEDE applications.
RFID portals can also be installed in production areas to track WIP and record production without the need for manual scanning.
We interface Laser Range Finders such as this to the SPEDE RF network, and mount them to overhead cranes to automatically record the location of large units of inventory such as steel coils, as the crane moves them.
The RF-enabled lasers stream location data to the SPEDE Crane Locator System software, which displays the data on a wireless TouchScreen in the operator's cab. When the crane arrives at the desired putaway or move location, the operator simply touches the screen, and the precise X-Y-Z location is recorded automatically. The operator can locate a specific unit of material in seconds by viewing the real-time location data onscreen.
Handheld RFID terminals from Motorola and Intermec provide ease-of-use and mobility for data collection, whether on foot or on a forklift.
With SPEDE you can use RFID and RF-enabled devices concurrently throughout your 4 walls, to fit the specific requirements of each data collection task.
Wireless Pocket PCs from Intermec and Motorola have integrated barcode scanners, and offer PC functionality, and easy visibility of SPEDE applications, inquiries and reports.
These devices are ideal for supervisors and material handlers who need PC performance but without being deskbound.
Handheld data terminals with integrated barcode scanners, from Motorola and Intermec, are used by all SPEDE applications.
SPEDE uses barcode scanning as a backup to RFID, when RFID tags are unreadable or an RFID reader is unavailable.
The ELO wireless touchscreen is used in production areas for tracking WIP and viewing production data. Its high-resolution screen, full-sized touchscreen keypad, and small footprint eliminate the need for a PC, mouse and keyboard in production areas.
Heavy duty, industrial RFID and barcode label printers from Intermec, Printronix and Zebra provide wireless label-printing on the plant floor. Ideal for heavy workloads and harsh industrial environments.
Fully mobile workstations, manufactured by Newcastle Systems, enable wireless printers to be moved right to the inventory that needs to be labeled - on the plant floor and in the warehouse.
Features of the NB Series include 24"x22" worksurface, integrated powerstrip, battery power package, adjustable shelves and more. Can power up to 4 devices for 8-12 hours of normal use.
Lighter duty RFID and barcode label printers are ideal for low-volume distributed-printing environments, such as on-demand labeling in a work cell.
Print-and-Apply barcode labeling systems from Monarch/Paxar are used by SPEDE to print customer-mandated Master labels as finished goods are ready to ship.
RFID tags are now available in a wide range of form factors, for use in industrial, harsh and challenging applications. We will analyze your RFID requirements and work with our Business Partners to research and/or develop an RFID tag to fit your specific application.
