Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

Wilson tosses Zebra Technologies the ball

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 in News

Zebra Technologies has announced its selection by Amer Sports, parent company of Wilson Sporting Goods, to execute Wilson’s RFID compliance labeling project.

Wilson, the global leader in ball sporting goods manufacturing, will use Zebra’s EPC Gen 2-standard labeling system to meet the current RFID requirements of its customers. As the company implements a new software system in its facilities, Wilson intends to further integrate RFID data into its operations so that it can encode additional information into its shipping labels, such as ship-to address, SKU number and item quantity.

“As the system grows and we make additional use of the RFID data that is captured, we plan to install more Zebra printer/encoders at other facilities,” said Ed Matthews, director of information technology for Wilson. [end]
