PSC, BlueStar, and epcSolutions Provide New Easy-to-Execute RFID Bundle
EUGENE, Ore., March 17 -- PSC Inc., a global leader in international data collection technology and related services, announced today the introduction of an easy-to-execute radio frequency identification ("RFID") bundle, in conjunction with BlueStar and epcSolutions. This bundle is designed to help solution providers successfully sell, install and support RFID solutions. Containing a reader, printer, media roll and software, this RFID bundle allows resellers to easily begin implementing RFID solutions for their end-users. This bundle, a complete solution for those that are under mandates from Wal*Mart or the Department of Defense (DOD), consists of the PSC Falcon 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer, a Zebra or Datamax printer/encoder, a roll of RFID media, and epcSolutions RFID software technology.
Member resellers of the BlueStar and Zebra partner programs are automatically qualified to purchase this bundle and will need no certifications or authorizations from BlueStar or Zebra. All that is required is a working knowledge of RFID, supply chain data structures, and experience implementing successful bar coding and data collection solutions.
"The RFID bundle we have created with PSC, Zebra, Datamax, and epcSolutions enables resellers to immediately deliver an RFID solution to their customers that gives them a true means to create and verify an EPC- compliant label," said Kevin Kail, President of epcSolutions. "In terms of ease of use and speed of set-up, this is the best value on the market. BlueStar can even integrate the software on the mobile computer before it is shipped. All the reseller needs to do is install wizard-driven software and follow the instructions."
"This simple RFID bundle provides a complete solution that enables a fast and easy deployment of RFID technology for customers looking to explore and understand how RFID can change existing supply-chain processes," said Mike Byington, VP of Product Development at BlueStar. "We believe this is an effective way to introduce partners to RFID technology and show customers how the technology can enable operational efficiencies and create a competitive advantage."
"BlueStar spent a great deal of time evaluating hardware and software options in order to create a bundled RFID product solution," said Matt Schler, General Manager & Vice President of Mobile & Wireless Products at PSC. "They have selected dependable, proven products from some of the RFID industry's leading companies, and we are pleased they selected the PSC Falcon 5500 RFID Hybrid Mobile Computer to be included in their offering. The bundle enables their partners to provide an easy-to-implement RFID solution to end-users interested in deploying smaller-scale RFID applications in their business operations. With an increasing number of Department of Defense and retail suppliers adopting RFID technology, the BlueStar bundle provides them another option."
