Innovation in labelling
Brady continuously innovates label materials and identification solutions, focusing on the evolving identification needs of many customers in diverse industries. The ability to include compliant, passive RFID chips and sensors in flexible, self-adhesive industrial grade label materials is a development spearheaded by Brady’s RFID competence centre in the EMEA-region. "In the future, all products will need a unique digital identity to enhance their visibility throughout the supply chain, all the way to the end-customer", said Brett Wilms, Managing Director Identification Solutions for EMEA at Brady Corporation. "This enhanced visibility will help improve efficiency, increase sustainability, and enhance the customer experience. Our reliable, RFID-enabled label portfolio, know-how and print on-site capabilities are perfectly placed to enable these advantages for many companies, even in conditions considered challenging for most labels. Adding Nordic ID’s technology and solutions further develops and strengthens this offer."
