Nedap integrates Zebra technology in iD Cloud RFID retail platform

Free choice of RFID devices allows retailers to use best of breed solutions for stock counting

Groenlo, The Netherlands – April 25, 2019

Nedap announces that it has now completed the integration of all cornerstone Zebra RFID technology for stock management within iD Cloud, Nedap’s leading RFID platform. The integrations span the RFD2000 and RFD8500 series handheld RFID sleds, the TC5x and TC2x series Touch Mobile Computers and the ZD500r and ZT400 series RFID printers.

Remarkable is the deep level of support that iD Cloud offers for the RFD sled devices, where even the firmware updates are managed through the iD Cloud solution. For the printers iD Cloud uniquely offers in-app printing of individual RFID labels or complete shipments that come into a store without RFID labels for the manufacturer. Here the label template and Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) print commands are managed directly from the iD Cloud App via in-store Wi-Fi to the printers, thus eliminating the requirement and costs of label print software.  

We see an increased demand for RFID solutions in retail and as the leading RFID provider we want to offer our customers the choice of the best products out there

Jeroen Struycken, Global Director of Business Development at Nedap Retail comments: “We see an increased demand for RFID solutions in retail and as the leading RFID provider we want to offer our customers the choice of the best products out there. By nature iD Cloud is hardware agnostic and support a multitude of RFID devices, but having the width of the Zebra equipment as a standard in our toolbox is a big plus.“
