SATO Vietnam Solutions Co. Ltd. has successfully implemented an RFID label printing solution for HayabusaVietnam Co. Ltd. at its Vietnam factory, delivering flexibility, cost efficiency and operational peace of mind.
Hayabusa, a globally trusted freshwater and saltwater fishing hook manufacturer supplying major international retailers, faced a new RFID tagging mandate from one of its customers as part of efforts to enhance supply chain visibility through item-level serialisation. Assigning each product a unique identity enables precise tracking of individual products through the supply chain, helping manufacturers and retailers improve inventory accuracy, reduce errors and ensure full traceability from production to sale. With a wide variety of products and the need to meet this mandate, the company sought a reliable solution provider.
Building on years of partnership providing barcode labelling solutions, SATO collaborated closely with Hayabusa to transform its labelling operations with RFID technology. Through SATO's RFID Vendor Tagging solution, Hayabusa can now print and encode EPC-compliant1 RFID labels onsite in a seamless and efficient process. Operators simply scan a barcode to trigger RFID label printing powered by SATO printers integrated with Loftware Cloud.
Each label is encoded with a unique serial number managed securely in the cloud to ensure full traceability and compliance with the retailer's requirements. SATO also worked closely with its label partner, Avery Dennison to supply RFID tags pre-approved by the global retailer, giving Hayabusa confidence in every shipment. This collaboration underscores how the right RFID technology partner delivers more than just hardware but also the expertise, systems and support that manufacturers need to stay compliant and future-ready for tomorrow.
EPC-compliant refers to meeting GS1's Electronic Product Code (EPC) standards that define how RFID tags carry a unique identifier which can be accurately encoded, read and tracked across global supply chains.
