Paragon PLS-430 advanced Encode & Apply labeling system

The Paragon PLS-430 brings a new dimension to the PLS-400 Series by incorporating Encode & Apply technology. In addition to providing an ideal solution for logic control and systems integration in an open architecture environment, the Paragon PLS-430 automated labeling system lets you take advantage of the benefits of RFID technology for packaging applications. The system's modular construction enables you to Encode & Apply EPC "smart" labels now, and easily migrate to Print, Encode & Apply as your application needs change.

The Paragon PLS-430 is a flexible, cost-effective approach to labeling of your products, cartons, cases, and pallets with RFID labels. As EPC-enabled print engines become available, it can be reconfigured with various print engines and applicator modules to fit your needs - standard tamp, wipe-on, roll-on, vacuum blow, and corner wrap- whatever your application.

A remote, machine-mountable PLC display enables you to easily make changes to system programs and application logic sequences. To secure your settings, the display can be detached once the application is programmed.

The Paragon PLS-430 not only gives you the features you need today, but the control and integration that you'll need into the future!
