Product overview and where it fits
The SimtoLink flexible printable RFID label bonds an inlay to a printable face stock. It fits a logistics waybill, an asset card, and a tote label, and it is read in bulk at a door, on a conveyor, or with a handheld during a count.
SimtoLink can pre-assign the EPC, print a barcode or QR code on the same face, and add a tamper-evident die-cut line. The scratch-resistant coat and the adhesive can be chosen for pharmaceuticals, retail, or 3PL.
Reliability on site
Industrial molded protection and the wide temperature range are in the parameter table. On a curve or a soft pack, check how the bend radius changes the read range.
SimtoLink asks for a printed read-range sample on the real substrate — carton, film, or a metal-foil liner — before the print process and the thermal-transfer settings are locked.
Key hardware parameters
The ratings below are the typical build of this label, written so a specifier can cite them in a bid clause. For a custom band, a custom package, or volume UIDs, ask SimtoLink for the hardware specification and the installation and commissioning guide. Order codes in the same family can differ slightly; the nameplate and the documents in the box govern.
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Band | 470 MHz LoRa | Region code |
| Read range | 0–12 m | Depends on the antenna |
| Memory | User 512 bit | Writes can be locked |
| Protection | Industrial molded | On-metal construction |
| Battery | Replaceable CR2032 | 3–5 years |
| Sensing | Vibration | Sample period can be set |
| Communication | LoRaWAN | Encrypted |
| Mounting | Screw or adhesive | Metal surface |
| Operating temperature | -27～69 ℃ | Cold chain optional |
| Standard | EPCglobal | Interoperable |
Typical applications
Four field patterns for this label, useful when you are laying out a scheme and checking payback:
E-commerce and 3PL outbound
A sortation line reads the labels at speed, so fewer cartons need a manual check.
Pharmaceuticals and cold-chain cases
The case label is tied to the warehouse count, and the batch can be traced.
Files and vouchers
The label flexes onto a folder spine, and compact shelving can be counted in place.
Retail loss prevention and display
Soft labels and hard tags can be mixed. An EAS/RFID door can read both, depending on the site.
Installation and maintenance
- After printing, let the ink or ribbon cure so a wet coat does not cover the antenna.
- Wipe dust and oil before you stick the label, and press the corners so the bubbles leave.
- On a metal liner, check for detuning. If the read falls off, switch to an on-metal inlay.
- The encode line keeps a TID-to-EPC list, and a bad label is set aside.
- Outdoors for a long time, use a UV-resistant face stock and spot-check the read range.
Ordering, documents, and support
SimtoLink supplies the hardware specification, dimension drawings, a wiring table, and sample projects for this label. Volume orders can include a sample review and in-plant inspection. Warranty and calibration follow the contract and the documents shipped with the unit.
