Paxar RFID Printing Solutions Approved for Use with Manhattan Associates Supply Chain Execution Systems MONDAY, FEBRUARY 09, 2004 11:00 AM - BusinessWire MANH 27.91 -0.94 WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Feb 9, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Paxar Corporation (PXR) , a global leader providing bar code and identification technologies for the retail supply chain and the supplier of Monarch(R) brand products and services, announced that its partnership with Manhattan Associates(R) Inc. (MANH) , the global leader in providing supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, has been extended to include the latest Monarch Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) printing solutions. Paxar's Monarch(R) brand 9855(TM) RFID printer/ encoder has been tested and approved by Manhattan Associates to work with their best-of-breed supply chain execution solutions. The Monarch(R) 9855(TM) RFID printer/encoder is Paxar's latest RFID offering. Used with Monarch(R) RFID labels, the solution includes "live" testing of the RFID chip, encoding of the label, printing of the bar code and human readable data, and verification that the information was properly "written" to the tag. With the ability to write to and print on RFID labels "on site" in a warehouse or manufacturing location, users can create "smart labels" programmed with the correct shipping, identification, product, or pallet information.
Using Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), smart label information can be captured, accepted and then executed against such distribution center (DC) processes as receiving, putaway, replenishment, picking, packing and shipping. Additionally, the labels can be printed remotely with Manhattan Associates' Trading Partner Management (TPM), a solution that provides real-time connectivity and integration--via the Web--between users and their trading partners.
With the Manhattan Associates' and Monarch solution, there are no integration issues to worry about. And, customers are guaranteed that they will be EPC compliant.
"We are very pleased that our long standing partnership with Manhattan Associates has reached a new level with the inclusion of RFID technology," said Rick Bauer, Paxar's Senior Director, RFID Technical Research. "The time for innovative companies to begin implementing this technology has come. With a tested solution including leading products such as Monarch(R) printers and labels and Manhattan Associates' supply chain execution software, innovative companies can realize the tracking, information, and cost savings benefits of RFID technology today."
"The ability to combine and cross-reference traditional bar code data with EPC data is of paramount importance to realizing the value of implementing RFID," said Paul Feorene, Director of Alliances at Manhattan Associates. "To this end, we are excited to have approved Paxar's Monarch printer for use with our supply chain execution solutions."
