Using RFID with Loftware Label Manager

Loftware's RFID resource offers the ability to design and create EPC RFID Smart Labels, enabling

implementation of mandates set forth by Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense. It provides the most-

commonly used EPC encoding schemes for transparently programming RFID inlays embedded in label

substrates. Loftware allows encoded smart labels to be driven to many supported UHF RFID printers.

Loftware extends its RFID solution to utilize RFID tag block data structures and support EPC and DoD

data constructs for both HF and UHF schemes. Memory on RFID smart labels is segmented into blocks.

Depending on the tag type, blocks can vary in number and size. Loftware addresses these differences by

providing access to each block to accommodate additional data. Data can be written for supported UHF

and HF labels on a block by block basis.

With businesses poised to tackle migration to Generation 2 tag types while maintaining a multi-protocol

RFID environment, Loftware extends support for UHF Class 1 Generation 2 tags (C1G2). Loftware

provides access to C1G2’s expanded block structure that includes a higher level of security. It has added

several RFID printers that support the C1G2 protocol to its device line.

This section guides you through creating RFID smart labels. It demonstrates block configuration using

EPC or DoD construct. It includes many examples with sample data to help you through the learning

curve and to get you up and running quickly.

Keep the following in mind as you expand your tracking system to include RFID:

l Loftware supports creating RFID Smart Labels and will continue to support legacy barcode labels.

l Labels can be designed in such a way that no new data is necessary for EPC codes to be generated

from existing data. Changes to your label are required, but changes to your ‘print time’ system

may not be necessary.

l In general, although familiarity with the EPC or US Department of Defense tag specifications is

encouraged, specific knowledge is not needed. All EPC/DoD intricacies are handled

automatically.

l Although normal barcode labels can be printed on any printer with any license, the Loftware

Premier Plus RFID is required to enable the programming of RFID Smart Labels.

l You must have a Loftware-supported RFID printer to print a programmed RFID smart label.

Setting up RFID Labels

When setting up RFID labels in Loftware, you need certain information in order to choose the right

options from the different Loftware dialogs.These include:

What is the target RFID device?

For RFID labels, this is a Loftware-supported RFID printer that will print the labels.
