IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 13 -- Printronix Inc. (NASDAQ:PTNX), the leading integrated supply-chain printing solutions manufacturer, today announced that Tompkins Associates has selected Printronix's radio frequency identification (RFID) SLPA7000e(TM) printer for inclusion in the Tompkins Emerging Technology Center (ETC) in Orlando, FL. The Printronix SLPA7000 is an automated RFID printing solution for compliance and in-line applications introduced to the market in June 2004.
Launched in April, the Tompkins ETC focuses on research, development and testing of emerging technologies such as RFID, voice-activated picking and real-time warehouse controls. This fully operational, multimillion-dollar facility helps companies assimilate people, software and equipment, and plan the best ways to incorporate RFID and other technologies into their operations.
"We've been committed since day one to educating end users on real-life RFID applications that show them how to integrate RFID into their supply-chain environments for maximum return and minimum interruption," said David A. Sakai, vice president of corporate marketing, Printronix. "We're thrilled to be selected by Tompkins Associates because we share their mission of giving companies practical guidance on adding the right RFID solutions to their supply-chain technology mix."
"We place a premium on flexibility, performance and practicality when selecting supply-chain solutions for our facility to give our customers one of the most reliable and realistic RFID test beds in the industry," said Frank Morrell, manager, Tompkins Associates' ETC. "Printronix, with its dedication to advancing the RFID market, fills a customer need and market niche with its SLP7000. By including the SLPA7000 in our center, we can give our manufacturing customers a complete picture of how an automated slap-and-ship system or an in-line production applicator could integrate into their manufacturing process. This presents an invaluable, balanced account of RFID printing technologies and their usefulness in today's supply chains."
