Product identification in practice

From label printing to the retail transaction

Retail automation starts before the counter. A clear product identifier can support receiving, stock movement, price administration, weighing and the final sale. Thermal label printers and RFID-ready workflows give teams a practical way to introduce product data where the work happens.

  • Barcode and RFID technology supports traceable product identification.
  • Thermal label printing can serve shelf, carton, return and distribution workflows.
  • POS systems, scales and store software use that product information where it is needed.
