Item level tagging.(RFID)(Item level tagging will be achieved within a decade, and it will be achieved through printing)
Item level bar codes were officially launched on June 26, 1974, when a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit was scanned at Marsh Supermarket in Troy, OH. The bar coded, 67-cent item marked the beginning of the UPC code era. Although bar code and RFID technologies are comparable, they do not share the same beginnings. Even though the price of gum has risen since 1974, a 20- to 50-cent RFID label on a low priced item doesn't make sense. But item level RFID tagging is not a moribund concept. Although it is not following the initial path of bar code implementation.
Digital printing: the new kid on the block is growing up and attracting a great deal of attention in the label industry.(Labelexpo Americas)
Nearly 10 years after its emergence in the narrow web industry, digital label printing has come into its own. HP Indigo demonstrated its market-place muscle at a breakfast meeting at Labelexpo Americas in Chicago this year, an event that drew more than 300 attendees who wanted to learn more about the company's technology from converters who own HP presses.
Succeeding beyond a specialty: this shop watched its chosen niche become less profitable. Its response was a dramatic investment in new equipment, along with an information-related change that has made all of the shop's equipment more cost-effective.
The most important capability for a turning shop is the ability to turn a profit. Bryon Bettinardi, owner of Bryco Machine in Tinley Park, Illinois, was watching this capability decline.
During the 1990s, the shop had a specialty. Small-diameter parts requiring precision turning, milling and drilling could be produced at high efficiency on the shop's bar-fed CNC Swiss-type lathes. For much of this time, says Mr. Bettinardi, there were fewer than 100 such machines in the Chicagoland area.
That is not the case anymore. He believes that the number today is about 700. As the capacity has multiplied, the profit margins for this work have gone down. The shop had to change. The problem was, the change had to be big.
It was clear what capabilities to add. Trying to run small-batch prototype jobs on the Swiss-type machines was an ongoing frustration, because the machines are at their best when running large quantities. Then there were the jobs the shop couldn't take on at all--that is, parts larger than 1.25 inch in diameter, the capacity of the largest Swiss-type in the shop. To provide a larger range of services to existing customers, Bryco needed to add both prototype machining and production machining of larger-diameter parts to its arsenal of capabilities.
However, adding too little prototyping capacity would leave the shop continuing to struggle to do some of its short runs on Swiss-types. Adding too little large-diameter capacity would be even less acceptable, because Bryco could only hope to get its customers' large-diameter business if it had the capacity to fully satisfy those needs. So Bryco went full bore (so to speak) into increasing its turning capacity.
