The patented SPEDE Push-Button Labeling device is one of a family of RF Labeling Control Terminals developed by SPEDE Technologies to error-proof the labeling process, and eliminate the need for using PC's on the plant floor to print labels for finished parts.

This small 5x7 terminal easily fits in the work cell, and connects to a label printer via RF or serial port. Labels are printed by simply pushing a wireless button. The SPEDE Labeling Software, which resides on the network server PC, sends the correct data is to the printer in the work cell.

The SPEDE RFID-enabled Labeling Control Terminal triggers a label to print when the operator's RFID badge is read. The RFID solution creates a history of all labels printed by each employee ID, for audit control and accountability.

Our new SPEDE Line-side Labeler solution uses the Symbol MK500 Micro Kiosk, a compact RF TouchScreen with a mere 5" footprint.

The MK500 can be installed at line-side and configured to print only the specific label for the Part Number being made in that work cell. The SPEDE Labeling Software displays the Part Number onscreen. To print a label, the operator just touches the screen.

The MK500 can display a virtual keyboard, and status messages such as the quantiity of labels printed, pack count data and more.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, rolling ladders and other movable equipment, enabling the RFID reader to be brought to the RFID-tagged inventory in Receiving, Warehousing, Production and Shipping areas.

We can also mount the RD5000 to the hook of an overhead crane to enable large units of material to be automatically tracked, counted and picked by individual serial number. The RD5000 will read the serialized RFID tag on the unit of material, and send this data to the appropriate SPEDE application module - to control and error-proof material handling processes.

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.

Laser Distance Meters such as this are interfaced to the SPEDE RF network, and mounted to overhead cranes to track large units of inventory such as rolls, coils, steel bars and the like.

As the crane moves, the RF-enabled lasers stream location data to the SPEDE Crane Locator System software, which displays this location data on a wireless TouchScreen in the operator's cab. When the crane arrives at a desired putaway location, the operator simply touches the screen to record the transaction. At picking, the operator can quickly locate the specific unit of material needed for a customer order by viewing the precise 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.

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.
