The Global RFID Upgrade Kit with code 8596375084339 transforms Zebra ZT410, ZT420, ZT411 and ZT421 printers into complete UHF RFID encoding stations, enabling real-time programming of EPC Gen 2 V2.1, ISO/IEC 18000-63 and RAIN RFID tags during direct thermal or transfer printing. This plug-and-play upgrade solution integrates an internal reader/writer module with optimised antenna that detects and encodes inlay tags at distances of up to 10 cm without manual contact, perfect for automated tagging in manufacturing, logistics and asset control. Its design maintains the original print specifications (203/300 dpi) while adding automatic verification of encoded data to eliminate human error in mass production.
Tool-less installation requires only minutes, replacing one side panel of the printer with the complete RFID module that communicates via upgraded Zebra firmware, preserving all existing bar code and text printing functions. Compatible exclusively with 203 dpi and 300 dpi models (no 600 dpi), it supports market-leading chips such as Impinj Monza, NXP UCODE and Alien Higgs in regulated frequencies for North America and ROW (Rest of World) regions. It includes automatic adjustable RF power calibration and anti-collision algorithms to encode multiple labels simultaneously on high-density rolls, optimising throughput on assembly lines.
This kit elevates smart traceability by simultaneously printing and encoding unique EPC, user memory and security lockout data on smart labels for real-time inventory, supply chain tracking and GS1 compliance. Its integration with 123RFID™ Desktop and Printer Profile Manager Enterprise enables centralised configuration of encoding profiles from remote stations, while the 4.3-inch colour touch screen displays RFID status, encoding success rate and real-time diagnostics. Ideal for automated warehouses, distribution centres and pharmaceutical production where RFID data accuracy determines overall operational efficiency.
