Checkpoint Systems' New RFID Labels for Health/Beauty/Cosmetics Categories Based Upon Latest Impinj Chip for Inventory Management
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), a leading global supplier of merchandise availability solutions for the retail industry, today announced at RFID Journal Live its new Slim and Whisper RFID labels for Health/Beauty/Cosmetics Categories. These categories have specific inventory management challenges based on their small size, SKU complexity and densely packed merchandising displays.
The Slim is offered with a label size of 88x7mm and integrated with the latest Impinj Monza R6 chip. It has been optimized for performance with all of Checkpoint's RAIN (standing for RA-dio frequency I-dentificatio-N) RFID solutions, including its RFID EAS Overhead Solution, the EVOLVE E10 Exclusive pedestal and other Merchandise Visibility solutions. The Slim tags can be applied over the packaging of numerous health/beauty/cosmetics products and are tamper proof.
The Whisper is offered with a label size of only 12x12mm and integrated with the Monza R6 chip. It is the smallest form factor in its category and comes with removable adhesive so that no marks are left on cosmetics products.
"We are excited to see Checkpoint driving always-on inventory management solutions using the Slim and Whisper labels with our Monza R6 chip featuring AutoTuneT," said Craig Cotton, VP of Marketing and Product Management at Impinj. "We look forward to a continued partnership with Checkpoint to enable new solutions and tagging of new categories of items. The Monza R6 chip includes Integra technology that enables RAIN RFID labels to deliver higher data reliability and accuracy, which is a must for retail deployments."
According to Uwe Sydon, Senior Vice President of Innovation, Checkpoint Systems, "Major retailers have expressed a strong interest in expanding RAIN RFID categories to include Health/Beauty/Cosmetics categories and the new RAIN RFID tags specifically designed for these products will help achieve the goals of auto replenishment and inventory management."
