Metalcraft's Predator - RFID Converting

Our RFID converting equipment - The Predator - allows us to construct, program and verify RFID tags all in one place. We use different types of tags and equipment to save time and money for our customers.

This machine helps to convert polymer labels into an RFID smart label. The Predator is important to our company because it's our main piece of RFID converting equipment. It can construct, program and verify an RFID tag all in one pass.

Our Predator handles inlays from web-to-web and it die-cuts the inlay out. The machine removes the inlay from the web, places it on a printed film, and programs it while checking that the tag works correctly.

In addition, this machine can handle multiple UHF protocols along with HF and NFC information to reprogram. 

We've built verification into our production process. This guarantees to our customer that all of these tags will function properly. 

For the Asset Control line, some of the applications include warehouse management, tracking pallets/returnable totes and containers.

Event management involves using wristbands or credentials to monitor attendees and grant access to the event.

Access Control applications allow entry into specific areas, such as car washes or gated communities. These applications help control who can access certain locations. People commonly use them in various settings to enhance security measures.

The Predator allows us to keep it simple, deliver as promised and show a better way.

At the end of the video, our president/CEO mentions that Metalcraft continues to make investments into technology that ultimately provide greater value for our customers.

For instance, the Delta Edge could be one example of this. With its laser cutting capabilities, we can provide unique sizes and shapes without relying on expensive rotary tooling. Furthermore, the change from rotary die-cutting to more efficient laser cutting will reduce or lead time to our customers.

No matter if you use barcodes, RFID, or both, Steve Doerfler invites you to share your needs with us. We can help you solve your identification challenges.
