In this fascinating episode, the Zebra ZC10L large-format card & badge printer is showcased in all of its technological glory by guest Ted Morgan, a twenty-five year veteran of AB&R® and an expert on the technology. The crux of the whole episode centers on the implications of the printer’s RFID capability and how this will revolutionize event spaces. As Ted relays to listeners, event spaces like trade shows, concerts or sporting events, have the opportunity to become much more memorable because of the large-format printer featured in this episode. Ted talks about how leaders in event spaces are looking for ways to make the attendee experience as enjoyable and special as possible.

Using the bland and boring paper credentials that are often handed out for low profile events as an example, Ted compares this to a badge that the Zebra ZC10L is able to print. And because of the cutting-edge techniques utilized with this large-format printer, each card is capable of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking both nearfield and long range. This innovation was a result of the collaboration between Zebra and AB&R® to integrate RFID into the ZC10L. This decision was unanimously made because RFID is so important for event spaces: Ted explains that people would gain access to events with the credentials they are given, they are allowed access with high frequency technology, and then there is the option to track event attendees with ultra-high frequency capability embedded within the credential. Not to mention this makes for some very secure events.

Ted then goes on to explain some of the hurdles that he and Zebra faced with the printer, especially with the thinness of the card stock-- The much thinner stock made it difficult to embed the RFID inlays into the sim card without creating any blemishes on the surface of the card. Ending the episode with the positives for RFID in product and people tracking, the future looks quite exciting in this offshoot of the supply chain.
