Frequently Asked Questions About Reusable Labeling PPWR: New requirements for packaging and reusable systems The GS1 SMART Box Header quick access buttons Smart reusable labelling for bins, boxes and container systems inotec is a leading manufacturer of high‑quality identification solutions, delivering durable label and RFID systems for reusable logistics applications such as containers, pallets and trays. Our robust ID technologies already meet the requirements of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which becomes mandatory from 2030. For reusable packaging, this means one thing: reuse is encouraged, but the rules are getting stricter. Every container needs a unique ID (serial number, barcode or RFID), traceable cycles and reuse data, and integration into return and pooling systems. In other words, reusable containers become regulated assets — their inventory and movements must be documented along the entire supply chain and proven when required. This is exactly where inotec’s identification solutions come in. In pools and open-loop systems, barcodes and RFID create a permanently readable, standardised ID — the container’s “digital identity”. This makes it easy to assign each container, scan it at checkpoints and generate verifiable proof of return and reuse. The result: scalable, transparent and fully PPWR‑compliant reusable systems. spalte button PPWR Information Traceable Reusable Packaging: Efficient Labeling and Smart Use Reusable packaging is the future.

The requirements of the PPWR are being introduced step by step—but they will already impact market access from 2026 onward.This means businesses are facing several key challenges: Managing complex data requirementsAdapting internal processes and workflowsIntegrating suppliers and the entire supply chain Starting early makes a big difference. It helps you reduce risks, control costs, and avoid major last-minute operational changes.In short, early preparation gives you the time to build efficient, compliant systems and stay ahead of the competition. Secure market access across the EUMore efficient logistics and streamlined processesImproved data quality and transparencyStronger positioning as a sustainable and future-ready business The PPWR was introduced to: Reduce packaging waste across EuropeImprove recyclability of packaging materialsStrengthen the circular economy These goals are part of the European Green Deal and aim to tackle the growing amount of packaging waste in Europe while promoting more sustainable and resource-efficient packaging solutions. Reduced Losses and Inventory Shortages Improving Efficiency in Logistics Processes End-to-End Transparency in Reusable Packaging Systems Proactive Compliance: Ready for All Regulatory Demands Key Benefits of PPWR-Compliant Labeling for Packaging Kai‑Oliver Rittner Want to Learn More? Let’s Connect! Take the first step toward PPWR compliance today – with a quick PPWR check that gives you clarity and helps you secure your implementation timeline early. The PPWR calls for EU-wide harmonised labelling that provides information on materials, recycling and use. Labelling is therefore a regulatory requirement. At the same time, companies must be able to: Clearly identify packagingDocument circulation and useProvide evidence for audits Consistent labelling thus forms the basis for: Reusable systemsCircular processesRegulatory compliance The PPWR is fundamentally changing the requirements for packaging. In addition to material and design specifications, the following aspects in particular are coming into focus: Unique identification of packagingEnd-to-end traceabilityStructured data collectionContinuous proof of compliance As a result, packaging is no longer viewed merely as a physical product, but as a data-driven system component. All companies that manufacture, use or place packaging on the market – regardless of sector or type of packaging. These include, in particular: Industry and manufacturingLogistics and retailE-commercePackaging manufacturers and users Most of the requirements will come into force on the 12th of August 2026. The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) is an EU regulation that uniformly regulates all packaging and packaging waste across Europe and sets out binding requirements for recycling, reuse and labelling. General questions The PPWR applies to all types of packaging, regardless of material or industry. This includes: Transport packagingCommercial and industrial packagingRetail and consumer packagingBoth reusable and single-use systems The PPWR is a directly applicable EU regulation, replacing the previous Packaging Directive. This means the same rules now apply uniformly across all EU member states—without national interpretation or variation.Compared to the old directive, the PPWR is: Legally binding without the need for national implementationMore detailed and operational in its requirementsStrongly focused on concrete proof, data, and traceability In short, the PPWR introduces clearer, stricter, and more consistent rules, making compliance more transparent—but also more demanding for businesses. Die PPWR ist eine EU‑Verordnung, die alle Verpackungen und Verpackungsabfälle europaweit einheitlich reguliert und verbindliche Anforderungen zu Recycling, Wiederverwendung und Kennzeichnung definiert. Possible consequences include: Loss of market access in the EUFines and financial penaltiesDisruptions in your supply chain Since the PPWR applies directly across all EU member states, there’s no room for national interpretation or flexibility. That makes compliance essential for doing business in the EU. The Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is the key proof document under the PPWR.It confirms that: All relevant regulatory requirements are fully metThe declaration is linked to a specific packaging designComprehensive technical documentation is in place behind the scenes Without a valid DoC, packaging can no longer be legally placed on the market in the EU. The PPWR doesn’t just require compliance—it requires proof of compliance. That means it’s not enough to implement the rules—you also need to document and demonstrate it with clear data.Companies must: Capture and manage packaging data in a central systemIntegrate supplier data across the entire value chainHave compliance documentation ready at any time Without reliable and accessible data, market access can be at risk. inotec bietet: Langlebige Barcode- und RFID-Kennzeichnung Inmould-Integration für Mehrwegbehälter Lösungen für Tracking und Rückverfolgbarkeit Diese Technologien ermöglichen: Transparente Verpackungsflüsse Automatisierte Prozesse Sichere Compliance The PPWR shifts the focus from packaging itself to data-driven proof of compliance. It’s no longer just about what your packaging looks like—it’s about the data behind it.Digital identifiers make this possible by enabling: Automated data capture with minimal manual effortReal-time tracking of packaging flows across the supply chainReliable support for compliance reporting and documentation Labeling is becoming mandatory and a core part of PPWR compliance.In the future, packaging must: Be clearly identifiable at all timesProvide clear consumer information about materials and proper disposalEnsure full traceability across the entire supply chain This makes labeling essential for transparency, recycling, and regulatory compliance—helping both businesses and consumers handle packaging correctly.In short, labeling is no longer optional—it’s a key requirement for smart, compliant, and sustainable packaging systems. Packaging must be designed so that it can be easily recycled in real-world systems. This includes: Using the right materials that are suitable for recyclingDesigning components that can be easily separatedSupporting existing recycling processes and infrastructure From 2030 onwards, non-recyclable packaging will no longer be allowed on the market, making “Design for Recycling” a critical requirement for compliance.In short, packaging needs to be simple, compatible, and built for efficient recycling from the start. Packaging must be designed so that its materials can be efficiently separated and recycled in real-world processes.Over time, non-recyclable packaging will no longer be allowed on the market, making recyclability a key requirement for all packaging placed in the EU.In short, the focus is on creating packaging that can actually be reused or recycled in practice—not just in theory.

Header quick access buttons intro In times of complex supply chains, global flows of goods and increasing quality requirements, track & trace systems are a key component of modern logistics and production processes. Companies need to know at all times where an object is located, what condition it is in and which process step it has passed through. This is exactly where inotec’s track & trace solutions stand out – reliable, robust and ideally suited for demanding industrial environments. Using state-of-the-art label technologies, patented special products and a broad portfolio of barcode and RFID solutions, inotec creates the basis for transparent processes, higher efficiency and reliable traceability in transport, logistics and production. The combination of innovative technology, personal consultation and decades of expertise makes inotec a leading partner for track & trace in demanding industrial, retail and service environments. Why Track & Trace Industry solutions Application areas Requirements Related Topics and Resources Quality assurance, recall management, and risk reduction Track & Trace solutions also play a key role in quality assurance and risk reduction. They support efficient recalls, meet documentation requirements, and help lower costs. At the same time, they create a clear competitive advantage: greater transparency, faster processes, and reliable proof increase service quality and sustainably boost customer satisfaction. Real-time transparency across all process stages Through seamless traceability, real-time transparency is created: movements of goods can be tracked from goods receipt through to delivery, sources of error are reduced and data-driven decisions are made easier. At the same time, track & trace technologies increase efficiency and process reliability, as bottlenecks and delays become immediately visible. inotec’s robust Auto-ID technology ensures precise and stable processes throughout. Foundation for digitalisation and Industry 4.0 In addition, Track & Trace systems form the foundation for digitalisation and Industry 4.0: automated workflows, AI‑supported analyses and efficient resource management only work with clear identification and consistent data capture. Modern RFID and code label technologies from inotec enable exactly these data‑driven process chains. Reliable identification under demanding conditions Another advantage is reliable identification under extreme conditions – such as heat, moisture, chemicals, or mechanical stress. This makes Track & Trace indispensable for many industries with high exposure requirements. Why is Track & Trace so important? System‑compatible labeling for Auto‑ID, compliance, and full supply chain transparency Labels must integrate seamlessly into existing Auto‑ID processes, software systems, and logistics loops. This means they need to be fully compatible with both bulk RFID reading and documentation‑critical environments such as food or pharmaceutical applications. In addition, the right labeling solutions meet all relevant legal requirements and standards—ensuring secure, transparent, and process‑reliable traceability at all times. Stable barcode and RFID performance for clear and reliable identification Reliable traceability requires clear and unambiguous identification at all times. This includes high‑contrast, abrasion‑resistant barcodes, permanently stored RFID data, and unique coding for every container, component, or load carrier. At the same time, RFID labels must deliver stable radio performance and comply with standardised frequencies—such as UHF 860–960 MHz or HF 13.56 MHz—to ensure precise and secure reading at every step of the process. Seamless integration of Track & Trace labels into production and logistics processes Track & Trace labels need to be designed so they can be marked quickly and accurately, support automated and reliable reading, and work flawlessly at every automated station. Key factors include individually configurable memory sizes, precise chip programming directly during production, and flexible material options. This ensures seamless, inotec‑side integration into existing logistics- and productionprocesses without disrupting workflows. Long-lasting durability for reliable traceability, even under extreme conditions Labels used for Track & Trace must remain permanently readable, even under demanding conditions such as heat, cold, moisture, steam, chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents, or ultrasonic cleaning. At the same time, they need to adhere reliably to a wide range of surfaces, including plastic, metal, wood, glass, as well as textured or rough materials. To achieve this, specially matched adhesive systems, protective laminates, or in‑mould label solutions are used to ensure maximum durability. In logistics, production, and reusable packaging processes, labels must also be scratch‑resistant, wipe‑proof, and able to withstand friction, impact, and abrasion.

With our RFID solutions, you prevent counterfeiting, brand abuse, and theft. Because an RFID tag identifies your goods along the entire supply chain and provides information about the authenticity of the product as well as its individual components Industries & Applications Our Case Studies Related Topics RFID-based activation of orginal printing materials: As soon as a material unit is inserted into the printing system, the machine clearly identifies the original material via RFID and activates it for the print process. This unique identification prevents the use of unauthorised materials and significantly increases operational safety. Once the material is removed, it is automatically marked as “consumed”, ensuring it cannot be reused in other printing systems. This reliably protects both the process and the business model.Process control through smart printing materials: In industrial printing, the correct assignment of materials to print jobs is often error‑prone and costly. Operators cannot always clearly identify which material is intended for which job, leading to waste, reprints, or quality issues.inotec addresses this challenge with automated material verification directly at the machine. The inserted material is detected, compared with the job data, and only released if it matches the requirements. This ensures that only the correct material is used – improving efficiency, print quality, and overall process reliability.Reuse in the printing industry: Modern industrial printing systems increasingly process materials such as inks, pastes, or 3D‑printing cartridges in automated workflows. With RFID‑based activation directly at the machine, reuse containers or smart cartridges can be clearly identified and efficiently managed. This approach reduces costs, increases process security, and prevents manipulation – especially in deposit‑based systems. At the same time, it ensures that only original materials are used, even in complex and highly automated printing environments. In hospitality as well as the service and catering sector, automated systems and reuse packaging are increasingly being adopted. This development is driven not only by changing staffing conditions, but also by rising customer expectations and new regulatory requirements. One key factor: Only packaging with serialised identification provides the level of security required for reliable, compliant operation within automated processes. Secure use of consumables in chain catering: In many food service applications where food is processed in machines or automated systems, precise process control is essential. Intelligent labelling solutions make it possible to strictly enforce the maximum permitted usage time of components. Example:A milk cartridge used in a coffee machine may be used for a maximum of four days. Thanks to smart communication between the cartridge and the machine, the cartridge is automatically deactivated once this period expires. Even if the cartridge is still partially filled, it can no longer be used in any compatible device.This automated enforcement of shelf‑life rules improves product safety, ensures compliance, and significantly reduces operator effort.Catering: automated issue and return systems: Trays, bowls, and containers can be automatically identified, filled, and recorded using RFID technology. During filling, the contents are automatically assigned to the specific container and charged directly to the customer’s account at the checkout or vending system.When containers are returned, RFID automatically re‑registers them in the system, digitally mapping the entire reuse cycle. Manipulation of deposits or balances is reliably prevented with RFID, unlike conventional printed codes.The result: fully automated processes, maximum security, and complete transparency for both operators and customers.Beverage refill stations: Serialised containers allow end users to refill their bottles independently and securely. RFID enables tamper‑proof identification of the container – without the need for complex camera systems.Dirt, moisture, or incorrect positioning at the refill station are not an issue, as RFID works without line‑of‑sight and reliably detects and authorises the original container.This technology reduces waiting times, increases throughput, and ensures smoother operations – especially at events or high‑traffic locations – resulting in higher customer satisfaction. Hygiene systems can easily be manipulated—for example, by diluting consumables or using them for too long. By communicating directly with the system, a one‑time, process‑safe use of the material is reliably ensured. Washing systems with consumablesIn washing systems, a defined amount of detergent is required from a dosing unit for each wash cycle. The cartridge is connected directly to the system or washing machine and cannot be removed and reused in the same or another system from the manufacturer. This ensures controlled usage and prevents misuse. Disinfection systemsBy integrating a tank, canister, or cartridge into a disinfection system, original consumables are automatically released for use, and their usage can be time‑limited. The dosing quantity can also be precisely controlled. Refilling is only possible with approval from the manufacturer, ensuring maximum safety and compliance. Filter systemsFilter systems always have a defined service life and must be replaced once this period has expired. Through communication between the filter and the system, this time frame can be clearly defined and monitored. If the limit is exceeded, the filter can be automatically locked. At the same time, the use of original filters is reliably ensured. Activation of consumables at the machine: Original consumables can be detected and activated directly by the machine. The material unit is identified using RFID in a tamper‑proof way – without the need for camera systems, which are often affected by dirt or incorrect positioning. Once the material is removed, it is automatically marked as “used” and can no longer be manipulated or reused. This ensures maximum security and reliable handling of original materials throughout the process.Process control driven by the material:Ensuring the correct use of materials is a major challenge in industrial environments. Operators are often unable to reliably distinguish which materials are suitable for a specific job – leading to costly errors, rework, or downtime. With RFID‑based material control, the machine automatically registers the material, checks it against the job requirements, and only releases production if the match is correct. This guarantees that the right material is used for the right task – every time.Reuse in industrial applications: Materials such as tapes, clips, films, fabrics, tiles, and similar items are often processed on reels, spools, or in magazines within machines and equipment.By using RFID‑enabled reuse spools, cores, or magazines, material activation can be automated and process reliability significantly increased. These reuse units also verify originality and prevent manipulation, for example in deposit or return systems operated by the customer.The result: fully automated material handling, higher process security, and reliable protection against misuse or fraud – even in demanding industrial reuse scenarios. In retail, reusable containers and packaging are being used more and more frequently. Long‑term use without high losses is only possible with secure deposit or refill systems. Dispensing and return systemsDeposit and material dispensing machines can use RFID to reliably identify reusable packaging and automatically book items in and out. Unlike printed codes, RFID completely eliminates manipulation of deposits and prevents fraud. Refill stationsSerialized pool or reusable packaging can be refilled directly by end consumers. RFID enables tamper‑proof identification of the reusable unit at the refill station—without the need for cameras, which are often affected by dirt or incorrect alignment. Combined with visible coding, each unit can also be securely processed and booked at the checkout. Safe use, optimal documentation, and time‑limited material usage in combination with technical devices are essential in the healthcare sector. CHECK ID optimises the following areas: Medical accessoriesEnhanced usage safety through RFID solutions for breathing tubes, endoscopes, filter cartridges, reusable bottles, pipettes, and more.

Label-Competence-Center The inotec Label Competence Center (LCC) is the heart of inotec’s quality assurance. Originally founded as an internal testing lab, it has evolved over the past 25 years into a specialised unit for comprehensive and in‑depth material and product analysis. A team of experienced lab technicians carries out both standardised and customer‑specific tests with precision, control, and clearly defined quality criteria. Today, the LCC does far more than ensure consistently high quality. It is a key driver of product development. Labels are regularly tested, optimised, and further developed in terms of durability, adhesive strength, and flexibility. At the same time, the LCC creates custom labelling solutions that are precisely tailored to individual customer requirements. Because many test procedures – such as determining optimal adhesive curing times – take several weeks, multiple analyses are always running in parallel at the LCC. This ensures that innovation, quality, and real‑world usability continuously go hand in hand. Added Value for Your Labelling Projects Internal quality assuranceStandardised product testingCustomer‑specific product development for special requirementsLong‑term studies16 testing procedures RFID Measurement Expertise as Part of Our Manufacturer Responsibility At inotec comprehensive RFID measurement is an integral part of both product development and manufacturer responsibility. All RFID labels produced in‑house are technically analysed, measured, and designed in compliance with applicable standards right from the start. This ensures that RF performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements are taken into account early on and consistently met. All measurement and testing activities are carried out in line with relevant standards, guidelines, and EU directives, with a strong focus on CE conformity for our RFID labelling solutions. The resulting measurements and evaluations form the basis for a well‑founded CE declaration of conformity, providing companies with a high level of legal certainty and compliance assurance. RED Radio Testing and CE Conformity for RFID Labels A key element of our testing activities is RED radio testing in accordance with EU Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive). These radio measurements ensure that inotec RFID labels meet all regulatory requirements for CE marking while also delivering stable and reproducible RF performance. This creates a reliable and predictable basis for bringing our products to market safely. Depending on the specific requirements, we use in‑house measurement and analysis methods, supplemented by qualified data from the supply chain or additional external testing for technical validation. inotec does not act as an independent testing laboratory – instead, we take full responsibility as the manufacturer to ensure the conformity of our own RFID products. This integrated approach allows companies to receive CE‑compliant RFID labels directly from the manufacturer – technically sound, standards‑compliant, and fully documented, without the need for additional testing or coordination with external service providers. Consistent quality through rigorous testing Consistent Quality Through Rigorous Testing Continuous inspection of existing labels ensures that all products consistently deliver the high level of quality customers expect from inotec. As part of these ongoing tests, technical data sheets are regularly reviewed and updated. This creates maximum transparency and makes it easier for customers to select the right label solution for their specific requirements. Development of Industry‑Optimised Labelling Solutions One of the key strengths of the Label Competence Center (LCC) is its ability to tailor labels precisely to the demands of individual industries. Typical application environments – such as industrial production, logistics, or retail – are analysed in detail, and labelling solutions are developed to fully meet these conditions. The result is labels that simplify workflows, stabilise processes, and deliver reliable long‑term performance, even under challenging conditions. Custom Product Development Based on Specific Customer Requirements When required, the LCC goes beyond industry‑focused development and creates fully customised solutions tailored to individual customer needs. This includes, for example: Adhesive strength tests directly on customer materialsHigh‑pressure wash tests under real‑world stress conditionsSelection, combination, and validation of new materials Based on these tests, labels are developed that are perfectly matched to the customer’s specific environment and expectations – from material composition to reliable performance in everyday use. Testing Procedures in the Label Competence Center Standardised testing procedures play a key role in quality assurance and product development. At the Label Competence Center (LCC), a wide range of these tests is carried out, including: High‑pressure wash test: Simulation of industrial wash lines in the food industry (e.g. labelling on food containers)WOM test: Weathering simulation for labels in accordance with ISO 4892‑2, Method A, Cycle 2ISO 18000‑6C query: Selection of a transponder suitable for the intended application Additional tests performed at the LCC include: Abrasion testChemical resistance testingHeat testIPA test (isopropyl alcohol test)Cold testAdhesive strength test based on DIN EN 1939Van Laar test geometryAlkaline solution testMaterial thickness measurementMEK test (methyl ethyl ketone test)Tape testCentrifugal testBarcode quality evaluation in accordance with ISO/IEC 15416:2016 and ISO/IEC 15417:2007 Testing and Validation Procedures at a Glance The implementation specification provides a detailed and binding description of the planned system solution. All relevant technical and functional aspects are clearly defined, creating a transparent and implementation‑ready foundation for deployment. Structured implementation packages clarify scope, dependencies, and responsibilities, forming the basis for a successful project. The implementation specification ensures that all system components are perfectly aligned and that the planned solution can be implemented efficiently, reliably, and with long‑term stability in mind. Carrying out a feasibility test eliminates any remaining uncertainties and paves the way for a smooth and reliable system implementation. System preparation and software parameter configurationTemporary implementation of an Auto‑ID technologyConnection to demo software for capturing tracking dataData capture tests under real‑world conditionsLive system demonstration A well‑defined implementation concept creates transparency early on and forms the basis for confident decision‑making in RFID projects. During the concept development phase, requirements, processes, and technical conditions are brought together in a structured way to define a realistic and implementation‑ready target architecture. This creates a clear understanding of functionalities, interfaces, and next steps right from the start of the project. The concept serves as a binding foundation for planning, implementation, and budgeting. It reduces project risks, clarifies dependencies, and enables a reliable assessment of effort and investment – fully aligned with the individual requirements of each specific application. For an industrial‑grade RFID system solution, seamless interaction between all components is essential. Only when hardware, RFID antennas, and labels are perfectly aligned can stable read results and reliable system performance be achieved. inotec uses state‑of‑the‑art measurement technology and a specially designed test environment to evaluate RFID systems holistically and ensure flawless functionality under realistic conditions. Through structured testing and measurement procedures, we analyse RFID performance across the entire application chain – from pre‑qualification of individual components to application‑specific evaluation in real operating environments. All results are transparently documented and provide a solid foundation for secure investment and implementation decisions. RFID-Competence-Center At inotec’s RFID Competence Center, real‑world application scenarios are simulated and evaluated under practical conditions right from the early stages of a project.

You May Also Be Interested In The Basics: How Linear Barcodes Work A barcode (also called a linear code) is an optoelectronically readable script made up of parallel lines and spaces of varying widths. In this context, the term “code” does not refer to encryption, but to the representation of data using binary symbols. The information contained in a barcode is read automatically by barcode scanners or camera systems and then processed further by the corresponding software. Barcode Solutions for Specific Applications Certain applications require a specialised form of a barcode type. For example, some barcodes can be printed “over‑square”, meaning they are taller than they are wide. This allows two scanners positioned at a right angle to each other to read the code in any orientation. Such formats are commonly used on airline baggage tags. Another variation is the T‑shaped barcode. Here, two barcodes with identical content are printed in a T‑shape. This enables reliable reading from any direction using only a single scanner. Barcode Technologies and Their Technical Characteristics There are both 1D barcode types with two bar widths and others with multiple bar widths. A barcode must meet certain minimum height requirements, which in some cases are standardised. The width ratio between narrow and wide bars is also defined by standards and typically ranges from 1:1.8 to 1:3.4 (although 1:2.0 to 1:3.0 should normally be used; the wider range represents permitted tolerances). Multi‑width barcodes generally use bar widths that increase in increments of a single module. In addition, a clear area — the so‑called quiet zone — must appear before and after the code to ensure proper decoding. Bars are commonly referred to as “bars”, while the spaces between them are called “spaces.” Most codes begin and end with a start or stop character, which allows the scanner to determine both the barcode type and the reading direction. However, there are exceptions — for example, the Pharma Code and Laetus Code, which do not use start and stop symbols. In other barcode types, such as the EAN code, the start and stop symbols are identical; the reading direction is determined by the unique encoding of the symbol patterns, which differ between forward and reverse reading.

General notes and obligatory information Data protection The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Note on the responsible office The responsible party for data processing on this website is: inotec Barcode Security GmbH Havelstr. 1- 3 24539 Neumünster Phone: 04321-8709-0 E-mail: info@inotec.de The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar). Storage period Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply. General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration. Data protection officer We have appointed a data protection officer for our company. Data protection officer Regina Stoiber GmbH Jasmin Muhmenthaler-Storm Lower Sand 9 94209 Regen Telephone: 09921 9062720 E-Mail: info@datenbeschuetzerin.de Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. Revocation of your consent to data processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) OF THE GERMAN DATA PROTECTION ACT). Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible. SSL or TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Information, deletion and correction Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time. Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: - If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. - If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. - If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure. - If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the privacy-secure implementation of the tool on our website.

The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the key professional data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be done across devices (e.g., PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted off-site advertising to visitors to our website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place. LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days. The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it in the context of its own advertising measures. For details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig. Legal basis The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Industrial Labels for Extreme Applications For applications where standard industrial labels reach their limits, inotec offers specialized high‑temperature labels. These are specifically designed for process steps involving extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals or intense mechanical stress - while still ensuring reliable and secure identification at all times. Header quick access buttons Whether in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, aviation, or the logistics sector, products in industrial environments must be identifiable quickly and easily everywhere. Labeling, especially on metallic surfaces, is one of the most demanding applications in industrial identification. Metal affects both the durability of labels and – in the case of RFID systems – signal quality. To ensure that industrial labels and on‑metal labels function reliably over the long term, special high‑performance adhesives are used that provide a stable bond even on curved or uneven metal surfaces. These industrial‑grade adhesive solutions withstand temperature changes, vibrations, and chemical influences and form the basis for long‑term robust labeling. Particularly with RFID on metal, only an optimised antenna design prevents interference caused by reflective metal surfaces and enables precise, secure, and efficient data capture in any environment. inotec labels are especially robust, heat‑ and weather‑resistant, and additionally resistant to oils, chemicals, and acids. This provides exceptionally high durability – even under demanding industrial conditions. This is exactly what matters, because special requirements demand data carriers that are reliable, durable, and prepared for any environment. Industry Solutions Application Areas Requirements Labeling Solutions Advantages Related topics Component Labeling in Aerospace The highest safety standards, seamless documentation, and strictly regulated quality inspections make component labeling indispensable in this industry. Every single part of an aircraft or space system must be clearly identifiable and traceable – from the smallest screw to complex structural components. Labels must not only withstand extreme environmental conditions such as vibrations, pressure fluctuations, UV radiation, or wide temperature ranges, but also remain readable throughout the entire service life of an aircraft or space system. At the same time, permanently durable labels and codes enable precise maintenance and service histories, ensure documentation for authorities and certification bodies, and make a decisive contribution to quality assurance and operational safety. Component Labeling in Mechanical and Plant Engineering In mechanical and plant engineering, component labeling plays a key role in operating complex systems safely, efficiently, and in compliance with industry standards. The wide variety of components – often exposed to extreme conditions – requires labels that remain permanently legible, highly durable, and clearly traceable. Components must withstand heat, oils, coolants, abrasion, moisture, and vibration. As a result, labeling solutions face particularly high demands: labels must adhere reliably to rough surfaces, metal housings, painted parts, or structured materials and remain permanently scannable over time. Especially in the age of digital production – from condition monitoring to predictive maintenance – reliable identification of every single component is the foundation for fully connected processes and data‑driven optimisation. Robust, standards‑compliant labeling enables: End‑to‑end traceability across the entire product lifecycleReliable maintenance, service, and spare‑parts processesPrecise quality and production documentationStable spare‑parts and lifecycle managementAutomated workflows in manufacturing, logistics, and maintenance Etched Steel Labels Etched steel labels are the reliable solution for extreme chemical and mechanical challenges. The barcode is completely cut out or engraved into the surface, allowing it to withstand even the harshest conditions. inotec steel labels can be produced in any format and with any type of coding. Custom shapes and different material thicknesses are, of course, also available. They are resistant to highly alkaline cleaning agents and ultrasonic cleaning processes.

That’s why labelling solutions for long-lasting industrial use are carefully tailored to the specific environment they’ll be used in. It’s not just about choosing durable materials – what really matters is that the label performs reliably throughout the entire process. This means staying fully functional and readable over many cycles, even under tough conditions. Labeling for Extreme Thermal and Chemical Stress In high‑performance industrial environments, labeling solutions are exposed to extreme conditions such as heat, smoke, acids, and alkalis. inotec solutions withstand temperatures of up to 1,400 °C as well as aggressive chemical environments, surface treatments like etching baths, and industrial cleaning processes, including degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning. This ensures that readability and traceability remain reliable even under the most extreme conditions. Labeling for Intensive Cleaning Processes inotec solutions for medium industrial loads provide labels that perform reliably over the long term - even in harsh environments. UV radiation, high‑pressure cleaning, ultrasonic baths or industrial degreasing systems do not affect material quality, thanks to robust manufacturing and highly resistant components. Mechanical stress, such as that found in conveyor systems or automated production processes, is also no problem for inotec industrial labels. The labels remain readable, securely fixed and fully functional - forming a key foundation for high process reliability and stable identification, even under demanding conditions. Labeling Solutions for Mechanically Stressed Applications Labels in industrial environments and processes are exposed to particularly demanding conditions. In addition to stress caused by regular handling, this especially includes mechanical friction resulting from transport, use, and maintenance (cleaning). Industrial barcode and RFID labeling solutions from inotec are specifically designed for these conditions - ensuring reliable reading and smooth processes even under challenging circumstances. Industrial labeling for the automotive industry Hardly any other sector places such high demands on industrial labelling, traceability and process reliability as the automotive industry. From bodywork construction and engine production through to final assembly, parts, components and materials must be clearly identifiable – even in high-frequency, automated manufacturing environments. inotec’s barcode and RFID labelling solutions were developed precisely to meet these challenges. inotec industrial labels and smart labels support seamless component identification, transparent material flows and stable production processes. The RFID technologies used enable automated, contactless data capture without visual contact, thereby laying the foundation for error-free processes, reduced effort and end-to-end digitalisation along the entire value chain. In automotive production in particular, clear identification plays a crucial role in preventing process errors, maintaining cycle times and sustainably increasing production reliability. The automatic, digital capture of VDA-compliant RFID labels can be done in bulk – and in just seconds. This saves you from individually scanning containers or production parts, ensuring a smooth manufacturing process. We also offer durable RFID solutions for ESD containers that can be captured through bulk reading. This way, the entire manufacturing process in the automotive industry is a lot more efficient. RFID technology enables the automatic and contactless capture of all tagged parts. Each label ensures unique identification and allows real-time tracking. This way, you always know where your items are. In the automotive production, every part must fit perfectly. Clear and secure identification is therefore essential. Thanks to precise RFID labeling, you can minimize process errors and establish a smooth manufacturing process Improve your entire production process and warehouse organization with robust and temperature-resistant data carriers, seamless traceability, precise localization, and secure identification. Automotive labeling with RFID - Applications Industry Solutions Schreiben Sie uns Application Areas Durable labels are used wherever products, machines, and components must withstand extreme conditions. Our products provide reliable identification options and ensure seamless traceability. Labeling of Conveyor and Handling Systems Large, heavy, bulky: awkward components and workpieces are transported through the production process in automated systems using frames, pallets, carts, and hooks. The basic requirement for this is clear identification of each individual transport unit, so the process can be tracked seamlessly at all times. Harsh and often extreme industrial environments don’t just require labels that are especially durable - they also need to be reliably readable while in motion. inotec offers extremely robust, heat‑ and chemical‑resistant labeling solutions designed for industrial areas where standard labels simply won’t survive. Labeling of Production Containers Containers are essential in industrial manufacturing, as they transport materials, workpieces, and components of all kinds through different process steps. Along the way, they have to withstand a lot - thermal pre‑ and post‑treatment, final production, assembly or cleaning in degreasing systems. These recurring, cyclical stresses place extremely high demands on the labeling of baskets, containers and boxes. This calls for barcode or RFID solutions that remain permanently readable and reliably withstand environmental and operating conditions. inotec solutions for industrial containers are perfectly suited for high temperatures, aggressive chemicals and harsh, demanding industrial environments - ensuring a high level of process reliability. Labeling of Machinery and Equipment Machining, forming, finishing: producing workpieces often requires a wide range of different machines and technical systems. To ensure process reliability, it may be necessary - depending on the level of automation - to document processing steps or clearly assign workstations. Robust and complete machine and type labeling ensures reliability and safe maintenance.inotec provides durable barcode and RFID solutions that remain permanently readable even in industrial environments and reliably withstand everyday stress from operation, use, and maintenance. Tool Labeling Workpieces are often processed either manually or by machines using tools, equipment, and process aids. Depending on the type and properties of the material, as well as how and where the tool is used, tools are exposed to very different levels of stress. This is why labels are needed that can handle not only the demands of the actual machining process, but also regular cleaning and maintenance. inotec offers tailor‑made product solutions specifically for these use cases—labels that easily withstand high temperatures, lubricants and greases, ultrasonic cleaning, and rough, everyday handling. Labeling of Workpiece Carriers Workpiece carriers (WTs) transport one or more workpieces along a production line through the assigned stations. In order to be safely controlled and tracked throughout the process sequence, each workpiece carrier must therefore be permanently equipped with a durable and automatically readable ID. A particular challenge is that the cyclic, recurring loads within the process chain require a permanently readable label that reliably withstands environmental and operating conditions depending on the level of stress. inotec offers custom product solutions for high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, harsh and generally demanding industrial environments. Special formats required due to design constraints as well as particularly small and high‑resolution codes are also possible in cooperation with our Label Competence Center.

Processes must be as reliable and straightforward as possible. RFID, as an intelligent and versatile labelling technology, offers a smart solution for a wide variety of medical applications. Whether it’s providing patient information, tracking medical equipment or managing and identifying medications — the possibilities are extensive. Automation not only saves time and money, but in critical situations, it can even save lives. RFID Solutions for Consistent, High‑Quality Manufacturing Processes In automotive production, workflows are clearly structured and highly predictable. To avoid errors, ensure process reliability and continuously improve operations, RFID technology is widely used throughout the entire production environment. Both on container level and directly on components, RFID labelling helps capture supply‑chain and material flows quickly and accurately. Parts can be uniquely identified at every step, ensuring smooth, efficient and traceable processes — from pre‑assembly to final production. RFID for End‑to‑End Material Transparency and Process Automation RFID labelling ensures smooth processes in logistics and supply chain management and enables smart transport workflows with fully automated operations. Continuous tracking and real‑time monitoring of goods and containers significantly reduce inventory discrepancies and losses. At the same time, RFID speeds up goods handling, as workflows become faster, more reliable and far less error‑prone. Thanks to precise ERP integration, inventory data is always up‑to‑date and trustworthy. In addition, the ongoing monitoring of returnable transport items (RTIs) ensures efficient control of returns, rotation and availability. Secure and Reliable Identification with RFID Technology Clear identification of each RFID tag through a factory‑assigned serial number (UID for HF, TID for UHF) Defined security mechanisms based on standardised ISO protocols Write protection and controlled access to stored data Multiple encryption modes to increase counterfeit protection Tamper protection at label level, e.g. through break‑points or integrated tamper‑evident features Applications of UHF RFID labels UHF RFID labels are suitable for the fast identification and tracking of goods, assets, or load carriers—even in high‑throughput environments. They support efficient tracking at gates, conveyor systems, or goods‑in areas, reduce cycle times, and enable automated, low‑error processes. Thanks to bulk reading capabilities, even large quantities of goods can be monitored reliably and in real time. Unlocking the Full Potential of UHF RFID Technology Automation of inventory checks as well as goods and warehouse movements to reduce errors, incorrect postings, and shrinkageReal-time monitoring of complex supply chains for improved planning, quality, and end-to-end traceabilityData-driven production processes enabled by precise WIP tracking, optimized workflows, and the implementation of modern smart factory scenarios UHF RFID Technology: Extended Read Range and High‑Speed Bulk Identification Unlike HF RFID, UHF RFID does not communicate via inductive coupling. Instead, it uses electromagnetic coupling in the higher frequency range between 860 and 960 MHz. Data exchange takes place exclusively with RFID‑enabled readers. This allows communication over several meters — and enables the simultaneous reading of many tags at once (bulk reading). HF RFID – Secure information transfer in the near field HF RFID operates in the 13.56 MHz frequency range and enables reliable, secure data transfer in the near field.Through inductive coupling, the labels communicate stably with HF readers—supported by ISO standards 14443 and 15693, which are designed for either data security or data exchange depending on the application. With a typical read range from a few centimeters up to around one meter, HF RFID enables precise, controllable identification and is ideal for closed systems, sensitive processes, and security‑critical applications.

This memory contains the unchangeable identity of the tagged object. In transponders with rewritable memory, additional data can be stored or updated during use — making them flexible for dynamic processes. In general, RFID systems are divided into HF (High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra‑High Frequency). The main differences lie in reading range and the way data is transmitted, which is why each technology is suited to different applications. For labelling purposes, companies mainly use passive RFID transponders. These tags operate entirely without an internal power source. Instead, they obtain all the energy they need through energy harvesting, drawing power from the electromagnetic field of the reader. RFID tags operate in different frequency categories, including HF, LF and UHF HF at 13.56 MHz UHF at 865–869 MHz in the European frequency range (ETSI) and 902–928 MHz in the US frequency range (FCC) Technology Key Physical Requirements for the Application Reliable readability without optical or physical contact Defined read range — precisely matched to your infrastructure, whether for short‑ or long‑distance applications Exact tuning to the application, substrate and environmental conditions Compliance with all relevant norms and industry standards Optimised performance in challenging environments, e.g. on metal surfaces or near liquids Reading individual tags or multiple transponders simultaneously (bulk reading) Quick Overview Customised Solutions and Professional Advisory Service inotec develops RFID solutions that fit your processes perfectly — from chip selection to antenna design and label layout.

Why inotec warehouse labeling solutions? inotec solutions in warehouse logistics are designed to meet specific requirements. Storage location labeling is suitable for both high-bay warehouses with complex demands and pallet racking with limited space. It enables precise real-time inventory tracking and therefore supports structured warehouse management. Benefits Requirements Areas of application Magnetic Labels Magnetic labels feature a magnetic backing, allowing them to cling securely to ferrous metal surfaces such as shelving, racking, steel bins or trolleys. They’re easy to apply, remove and reposition, making them ideal for environments where layout and stock locations change frequently. They’re best used on metal warehouse racking, steel bins and containers, cold storage environments, and outdoor logistics operations. Magnetic labels hold strong, yet you’ll find them very easy to move or update. And as you’d expect from something metal, they are exceptionally durable and long-lasting. As for limitations, they only really work on ferrous metals, which instantly rules them out in a lot of cases. They also come at a sizable unit cost, certainly higher than most adhesive options. Plus, they run the risk of being knocked off in high-traffic areas (but it would take a real stroke of bad luck for this to happen). FeatureMagnetic Labels Surface CompatibilityFerrous metals only ReusabilityHigh DurabilityHigh (indoor/outdoor) Cleanroom SafeNo Cold/Freezer FriendlyYes Outdoor UseYes CostHigher Ideal forWarehouses, cold stores In large distribution centres, magnetic labels are used to quickly relabel racking systems without stopping operations. Their robust hold and resistance to cold make them a great fit for freezer warehouses and exposed yard storage. Hanging Sign Options We offer a wide range of Flat or Angled signage solutions. Pre-formed angled signs present barcode labels at the ideal angle for accurate scanning from the ground. Retro-reflective labels can be used to achieve accurate scanning distances of up to 15m. Flat and Angled signs can be produced in a range of colours and custom print designs and layouts. Flat signs made from lightweight durable foamex – offer a cost effective identification solution. Hanging solutions for any spaceDurable and cost effective solutionsCustomised Designs DryTack Labels Dry tack labels use a low-tack adhesive that clings without bonding permanently. They leave no sticky residue, are fully repositionable, and can adhere to a variety of surfaces – not just metal. Think of them like a jacked-up post-it note for industrial use. These nifty things are best used on plastic storage bins, glass surfaces, painted metal shelving, and cleanroom or hygienic environments. Their main advantage is that they are reusable and residue-free, but equally important is the fact they cling on tight, especially on plastic and glass. And for the cherry on the cake, they’re a cost-effective alternative to magnets. Limitations of dry tack labels arise mostly on rough or dirty surfaces. They’re also less durable in wet or outdoor settings, and the adhesive may wear with frequent reuse. Other than that, dry tack labels are the real deal and are likely the smart, sustainable solution you’ve been looking for. Feature Dry Tack LabelsSurface Compatibility Plastic, glass, metal, smooth surfacesReusability HighDurability Medium (best indoors)Cleanroom Safe YesCold/Freezer Friendly LimitedOutdoor Use NoCost LowerIdeal for Cleanrooms, offices, plastic bins In cleanroom environments or medical storage, dry tack labels provide the ultimate balance of hygiene and flexibility. Because they leave no residue and don’t rely on metal contact, they’re ideal for sterile or plastic-based applications.

This kind of precise asset labeling not only optimizes internal processes but also boosts security, transparency, and structure across your entire asset management system. Industry‑specific solutions Where Our Solutions Are Used Identification Solutions Benefits Related Content With RFID, companies can integrate the technology into existing systems with minimal effort. It works seamlessly with ERP platforms, asset‑tracking tools, and inventory management systems, making implementation fast, flexible, and highly compatible. With RFID, companies can efficiently protect their assets against manipulation such as counterfeiting or unauthorized duplication. Simply copying and reprinting a visible ID number or barcode is no longer possible. The combination of label and chip enables reliable, tamper‑proof authentication. With RFID, you can store far more than just basic inventory data directly on the chip — including maintenance history, inspection reports, and other service information. This creates secure, transparent, and reliable processes. Current data, past inspections, and technical parameters can be read and documented directly from the tag on the asset itself. With RFID, manual entry errors are eliminated entirely. Automated data capture ensures that all information is always recorded accurately and completely. Compared to barcode scanners, RFID dramatically reduces the time needed for inventory checks thanks to automatic data capture. An RFID reader can detect multiple tags at the same time — even when items are stored in boxes, cabinets, or other containers. Key advantages of RFID for inventory tracking 1. Zeitersparnis durch automatisierte Erfassung Im Vergleich zu Barcodescannern reduziert RFID den Zeitaufwand für die Inventuren erheblich. Ein RFID-Lesegerät kann mehrere Tags gleichzeitig erfassen, selbst wenn sie sich in Kartons, Schränken oder anderen Behältern befinden. 2. Genauigkeit und Fehlerreduktion Manuelle Eingabefehler gehören mit RFID der Vergangenheit an. Die automatisierte Datenerfassung stellt sicher, dass die Informationen korrekt und vollständig erfasst werden. 3. Prozesssicherheit Per RFID lassen sich nicht nur Inventardaten direkt auf dem Chip speichern, sondern auch Wartungshistorie oder Prüfprotokolle. Es wird ermöglicht, die Prozesse zu sichern, indem aktuelle Daten, letzte Prüfungen oder technische Parameter im Chip am Objekt abgefragt und dokumentiert werden können. Damit ist eine sichere Kontrolle der Prüfung am Objekt dokumentierbar. 4. Manipulationsschutz Mit RFID können Unternehmen ihre Bestände effizient gegen Manipulation wie Fälschungen oder unerlaubte Duplikate sichern. Ein einfaches Kopieren und Ausdrucken der Klarschriftnummer oder des Barcodes ist nicht mehr möglich. Die Verknüpfung mit dem Chip macht das Etikett extrem sicher. 5. Einfache Integration in bestehende Systeme RFID lässt sich nahtlos in bereits bestehende ERP-, Asset-Tracking- oder Bestandsmanagement-Systeme integrieren. Automated and reliable tracking for all your equipment When labeling rental equipment for sports—such as skis, bikes, or other gear—each item is tagged with durable barcode or RFID labels, and returns are recorded automatically. The same approach ensures reliable equipment management in catering, events, and large‑scale productions. Smart, safe, and efficient inventory processes inotec’s solutions for libraries make it easy to keep track of everything. They enable precise tracking during check‑out and return processes, while due dates are monitored automatically. The labels also protect reliably against loss and theft — and even more so with RFID integration. Real‑time tracking for goods and inventory New technologies like RFID make automatic inventory capture possible and add extra protection against tampering, more automation, and higher efficiency in logistics. inotec’s RFID solutions enable secure, fast, and highly accurate identification of deliveries and items—without the need for direct line‑of‑sight or manual scanning. Where Our Solutions Are Used Logistics: Accurate tracking of stock levels and returnable assets Companies that use inventory labels in logistics benefit from seamless tracking of returnable goods and stock levels. This cuts down on resources needed for reordering and reduces time spent searching for items. Because logistics environments can be tough, the labels used must be extremely durable and weather‑resistant. Education, Service Providers, Events & Public Sector: Complete IT and furniture tracking Inventory such as computers, technical equipment, furniture, books, and files needs to be traceable at all times. With systematic labeling, you can avoid losses—both when it comes to equipment and when items are returned. While setting up the technology may involve some initial costs and challenges, the long‑term benefits clearly outweigh them: more time saved, greater accuracy, and full transparency. Healthcare: Reliable tracking for medical equipment and supplies Hospitals use inventory labels to identify medical devices, equipment, consumables, and technical materials. To manage these assets efficiently, service intervals must be followed precisely and documented securely. This improves safety, ensures compliance, and reduces administrative costs. Retail solutions: Live inventory tracking In retail, inventory labels make it easy to automatically track IT equipment and store fixtures—reliably and always up to date. Service partners can be integrated digitally, and stock levels are shared in real time. Industrial labeling: Reliable identification for machinery and tools Inventory labels are widely used in industrial environments to track production assets like tools, machines, spare parts, and materials. This helps prevent downtime, simplifies maintenance, and ensures that every component is available when needed.

Reach Kevin from January 1 at: kevin.marrie@inotec-group.com Welcome to the team! THE INITIAL SITUATION Around 18 million tons of plastic packaging waste are generated annually in Europe (2025). In the food industry, single-use plastic packaging dominates - produced in enormous quantities with high resource consumption and a significant CO2 footprint, especially in the B2B sector, where rigid plastic containers are used by the tonne every day. They are efficient, lightweight, and inexpensive, but designed for single use only. After that, they are disposed of, often thermally recovered, which generates costs and places an additional burden on the environment. At the same time, regulatory pressure is increasing. With the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), binding reuse quotas in the B2B sector will apply from 2030. The goal is to reduce single-use packaging and establish closed material loops. For food manufacturers, caterers, wholesalers, and food service operators, this means a profound transformation. However, market-ready alternatives have so far been lacking. While initial reusable systems exist in the B2C sector, there are hardly any practical solutions in industrial environments—neither technically nor logistically. This is exactly where PFABO comes in with its new 5.4-liter reusable bucket. THE INOTEC SOLUTION To ensure the buckets are suitable for reuse, each container is equipped with a unique identifier (e.g. a 2D Data Matrix code / GS1 Digital Link) that can be read and processed via a central platform. This makes it possible, among other things, to: record movements and usage cyclestrack storage locations and dwell timesdocument cleaning processesmanage inventories automatically This level of transparency enables all stakeholders from producers and wholesalers to processors to monitor the status of each container at any time. For PFABO, inotec uses inmold barcode labels. These are permanently embedded into the plastic during the injection molding process and are therefore abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, and hygienically safe. Like the bucket itself, the labels are made of polypropylene, which facilitates mono-material recycling. Thanks to GS1-compliant codes, the containers can be integrated into existing ERP systems and digitally tracked. THE PRODUCT inotec offers the perfect product for every type of packaging. The polypropylene inmold label developed for PFABO offers numerous advantages: Robust construction and high-resolution digital printingDurability of up to 500 washing cycles without any loss of qualityMaximum hygiene both during production and in useFull service from number management to individual programmingDeposit security through unique coding100% recyclable thanks to mono-material compositionFood-safeIntegration into existing processesDigital linkage between food product and containerPermanent part of the packaging—cannot detach CONTACT PERSON: STEFAN MEYER About WALTHER WALTHER Faltsysteme GmbH is a family-owned company based in Kevelaer in the Lower Rhine region of North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany. Founded over 40 years ago WALTHER manufactures reusable containers, pallets, and carts made of plastic, which are used in various industries and trade sectors. The company has received multiple awards for its products, designs, research, and commitment to sustainability. The Starting Point When things are reused multiple times, fewer resources are consumed, and waste is minimized. For this reason, a major German discount retailer began transitioning to reusable systems in its stores some time ago. For example, the retailer sought a viable alternative to the disposable pallets used to display its goods. The food retailer found what they needed at WALTHER Faltsysteme GmbH. Their plastic pallets are recyclable, lightweight, and robust. Additionally, they can be labeled with state-of-the-art AutoID technology. The latter point was particularly important for the retailer, as they had established a globally extensive network of stores. Consequently, they required an intelligent AutoID system to track their new reusable pallets anytime, anywhere. Since the labeling also needed to be hygienic, the only solution was to incorporate the label directly during production. Thanks to inotec, WALTHER was able to easily meet the specific requirements of its customer. The inotec solution For over 25 years, inotec has been working closely with WALTHER, serving as one of its key suppliers of AutoID labels. tasked with developing a labeling solution for the discounter‘s pallets that would integrate human- readable text, barcode, 2D code, and RFID. This fourfold labeling would enable reading through various means: via scanner, contactless in bulk, or visually. This ensured that the discounter‘s staff could always identify the reusable pallet clearly, even if individual markings were damaged. Additionally, the label needed to withstand extreme conditions such as loading and unloading of pallets or industrial cleaning processes (high temperatures, strong cleaning agents). The inotec experts immediately got to work. They refined the technical parameters, configured, and tested until they achieved the best result. The outcome was a fourfold labeling solution that combined human-readable text, barcode, 2D code, and RFID as desired. The label is integrated directly into the material through the injection molding process, becoming seamlessly bonded with it. Running a finger over it reveals no irregularities because the inmould label is flush with the surface, ensuring it won‘t fall off or be damaged by water, chemicals, UV light, or other external factors. Moreover, this process ensures that the labeling remains hygienically flawless at all times. The smart reusable pallets with the inmould label from inotec have been in use for several years now. They enable secure and easy reading, seamless traceability, efficient data transfer, and sustainable use of natural resources. This aligns perfectly with the priorities of WALTHER Faltsysteme‘s customer, who placed great emphasis on these aspects. The integrated inotec solution played a crucial role in the successful realization of the smart reusable pallet. quote dominik lemken We continuously develop new ideas to optimize our customers‘ logistics with innovative products.

Dominik Lemken | Managing Director WALTHER Faltsysteme (Kopie 5) Overview High-quality equipment and machines and suitable consumables are part of the DNA of the mechanical engineering industry. The continuous development of equipment and the high-quality composition of consumables guarantee good sales in the industry. The interaction of consumables and their dosage in applications has become increasingly sustainable and resource-efficient. In recent years, more and more low-cost manufacturers from the Far East or replica suppliers have entered the market, causing massive losses in sales of consumables and spare parts. In addition, documentation requirements, environmental regulations and process safety requirements for EU manufacturers are becoming increasingly stringent. As a result, many are looking for new ways to protect against plagiarism, ensure process safety and achieve automated, seamless documentation. Overview High-quality equipment and machines and suitable consumables are part of the DNA of the mechanical engineering industry. The continuous development of equipment and the high-quality composition of consumables guarantee good industry sales. The interaction of consumables and the safe use of magazines or spools is therefore of utmost importance. The switch from disposable to reusable pool components is a central component of the sustainable and resource-saving strategy of European companies. With the high costs of reusing packaging with original consumables, more and more cheaper manufacturers or replica suppliers are entering the market, causing massive losses in sales. In addition, documentation requirements, environmental regulations and process safety requirements for EU manufacturers are becoming increasingly stringent. As a result, many are looking for new ways to protect against counterfeiting, ensure process safety and achieve automated, seamless documentation as part of the switch to reusable packaging. The starting point Mechanical engineering in the field of ink, toner, paste and fluid use is increasingly seeking solutions for active and secure communication between cartridges and machines in cartridge processing. Cartridge solutions are also used in the chemical and medical technology sectors, where they naturally face the same requirements. Counterfeit products, unwanted refills, incorrect use in processes and high technical and documentation requirements are a constant challenge for manufacturers. The task for the inotec group was to make consumables so intelligent that communication with the processing system is possible both centrally and decentrally and that authenticity can be checked immediately in every machine. In addition, incorrect or unwanted use should be reliably prevented. For users in the field, this means that incorrect or once-removed materials, or materials that have exceeded their useful life, cannot be used at all or cannot be used a second time. Neither in the machine currently in use nor in any other machines of the same type. Another important challenge for the solution was the security of being able to add every new material or spare part from the manufacturer to the same system (platform). The security level had to be very high, and the cost per cartridge as low as possible. The starting point The mechanical engineering industry, which usually supplies its materials on reels or in magazines made of plastic, is increasingly looking for solutions for active and secure communication between the carrier units and the machine. These solutions are also used in many areas of roll goods or in high-quality belt applications and, of course, have to contend with the same requirements there as well. Counterfeit products or unwanted inferior technical replicas, as well as incorrect use in downstream processes, are a major problem. The seamless tracking of pool and reuse units also represents a constant challenge for manufacturers. The task for the inotec group was to make consumables so intelligent that communication with the processing system is possible both centrally and decentrally, and authenticity can be checked immediately in every machine. In addition, incorrect or unintended use had to be reliably prevented. For users in the field, this means that incorrect or once-removed components or spools cannot be used a second time on the machine. Neither in the machine currently in use nor in any other machines of the same type. Another important challenge for the solution was to ensure that each new unit in the manufacturer's reuse pool was optimally managed, booked and tracked as empties and deposit items. This enables the manufacturer, as pool manager, to constantly check its stocks and trace the use of its components right back to the customer. It must be ensured that all other units can also be managed in the same system on a central platform. The inotec solution The inotec group has developed a complete solution for renowned manufacturers in the printing industry in which the materials and spare parts communicate with an RFID reader in the respective device via an RFID label with individual encryption on the cartridge, thereby activating themselves as originals when inserted. To this end, the RFID labels are modified so that they fit the cartridge optimally and securely and enable exactly the reading range (performance) required by the RFID reader with the adapted RFID antenna in the device. This ensures that no cartridges are detected that have not been inserted directly into the device. Thanks to the encryption option in the RFID chip, the RFID labels can be programmed quickly and securely during production in accordance with the customer's security level specifications. Encryption is possible up to DNA-capable levels. The free spaces in the RFID chip allow the machine to write the usage status back to each label on the cartridges. This also prevents decentralised secondary use of the cartridge. In the case of reusable cartridges, these blocks in the chip can be reset and reassigned by an administrator when the cartridges are refilled. In addition to product-level safety, this intelligent material solution offers other major advantages in the process. Seamless recording of the materials used enables seamless material management to be integrated when the machine communicates via the web. When minimum stock levels are reached, reorders are automatically triggered with the manufacturer. When using the wrong material for a work order, users can be corrected by the machine because the device passes on the information about which version of the cartridges is the right one for the required work cycle. The RFID labels on the cartridges also offer logistical advantages. This means that the status can be seamlessly documented from the empty cartridges to filling and packaging and stored in the system as a digital twin. This ‘real-time’ data can be continuously supplemented the more frequently the machine and material consumption combination is recorded. This enables optimal inventory management for each filling location, and the manufacturer can call up inventories and current throughput stations for a cartridge type down to the individual product ID worldwide in real time The inotec solution The inotec group has developed a complete solution for renowned manufacturers in the printing industry, in which the materials and spare parts communicate with an RFID reader in the respective device via an RFID label with individual encryption on the cartridge, thereby activating themselves as originals when inserted.

This ‘real-time’ data can be recorded for empty containers using RFID in bulk during the process run. This enables optimal deposit and inventory management. Kontakt contact heidenwag english The initial situation With the decision to implement the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), the EU Parliament is betting on reusables: From January 2030, the use of single-use plastic for domestic transports and transports within a corporate group will no longer be permitted across Europe. The use of individually labeled reusable trays not only reduces plastic waste but also opens up new opportunities in process automation and supply chain effi ciency. EPT sought a smart labeling solution that ensures complete traceability and thus real-time inventory control. Among other things, this should help uncover ineffi ciencies in the logistics process. In addition, the cycle - or return flow - of trays within the supply chain from customers to the plant wholesale should be trackable. Another requirement: The reusable system should also be usable beyond national borders. Due to the special conditions in plant wholesale logistics, robust solutions needed to be developed. Labels were required to be scratch-resistant, smear-resistant, UVstable, and resistant to cleaning agents. All these challenges prompted EPT to seek a specialized solution. The inotec solution For EPT, inotec has developed its own RFID label that withstands high temperatures during the production process. Through the inmould process used in the injection molding of the tray, the label becomes an integral part of the reusable tray. Precisely because of its inseparable bond with the carrier, the label is perfectly suited for sustainable circular systems in plant wholesale. The inmould labels are flush with the surface, waterproof, resistant to cleaning agents and UV, and extremely robust against mechanical impacts. The design of the reusable plant trays posed an additional challenge: the available space for labeling is limited. Despite its small size, the label offers an excellent read range, ensuring maximum functionality with minimal space requirements. In addition to batch capture via RFID, the labeling of the trays should also be visible at all times. With the innovative RFID solution, the distribution of trays to EPT customers can be recorded through RFID scanning based on serial numbers - a process even more efficient than scanning 2D data matrix codes. RFID solutions offer superior item management compared to conventional barcodes or simple quantity registration. As a packaging concept, the EPT Tray sets the new European industry standard. It successfully demonstrates how the use of single-use plastic packaging can be avoided. Label qualification Robust, secure, and versatile: inotec’s RFID inmould label is the tailor-made identifi cation solution for EPT. By utilizing an NXP RAIN RFID chip from the UCODE family with automatic adjustment, reliably high read ranges can be achieved even under changing environmental conditions. The resulting broadband performance also facilitates use across national borders. Thus, the RFID Inmould Label provides a reliable method for tracking and optimizing tray management. Advantages of the RFID inmould label: Efficient Traceability: The labeling - featuring clear text, barcode, QR code, and RFID - enables seamless traceability of trays throughout the entire supply chain. Process Optimization: Enhanced transparency and optimized tray management signifi cantly improve planning, with the inventory of empty trays being traceable at all times. Bulk Scanning: RFID technology facilitates the simultaneous reading of large quantities, up to 1,000 trays at once. Durability: The labels come with surface protection, making them scratch- and smear-resistant, UV-stable, and resistant to mild chemicals. They can be washed at up to 30°C and withstand water pressure of up to 30 bar, ensuring contact download “The digital product passport can only function economically if data collection is carried out without manual effort.

They are highly resistant due to the back printing and are scratchand smudge-resistant because the barcode is protected by a polyester film. Diotop PP At the fixed pick locations Diotop PP is used. This label features stable, white polypropylene material and is perfect for shelving units due to its permanent adhesive for maximum adhesion. The aisles in the warehouse were marked with laminated vinyl location boards. YOUR PARTNER FOR THE BEST SOLUTIONS Looking for effective solutions and exceptional service? Get in touch with us.

The Samworth Brothers site in Oak Meadow Leicester has a storage capacityof over 10,000 pallets across chill, deep chill and frozen. Around 580 people work on the site with orders being picked by 160 warehouse operatives. Glyn Maude is General Manager, Samworth Brothers Supply Chain, he explains why the new sign was needed, “As our business has grown rapidly over the last few years we needed to change how we picked orders in this warehouse. Originally the whole area was racked, but it was decided to take part of the racking down to create a pedestrian only picking area surrounded by barriers. “This meant we could present the products to the pickers in that area instead of getting them to pick out of the racking. The lanes of pallets run towards the racking area and the stock comes into the picking area from underneath the racking, deposited by fork lift truck. "One of the qualities I like about inotec is that they help me plan out and design what I need. They also give me an honest and accurate quotation regarding the cost; I get a lot of good advice from them." Glyn Maude General Manager Samworth Brothers Supply Chain “I knew that I would need hanging signs for the new area but couldn’t see anything suitable on the market. I’d seen other companies using drainpipes cut into segments with a slit to hold a label and I’d thought that there has to be a better way of doing this so I approached Steve Towler at inotec. I already knew Steve as he’d helped me with line marking and signs for our marshalling lanes here in Leicester and done a great job. Once I’d given him the size of sign and what it needed to do, he went away and came up with the docket grab concept. A couple of mock-ups later, we had our ‘docket grab’ hanging sign. “One of the qualities I like about inotec is that they help me plan out and design what I need. They also give me an honest and accurate quotation regarding the cost; I get a lot of good advice from them. The idea of using ballbearings to grip the pallet labels was all inotec’s. “In the pedestrian only zone the picker collects the pallet of stock using a hand pallet truck and walks down the picking line of pallets. He then scans the pallet label that is held in the hanging sign above a pallet, this details a retailer’s order. The label tells them how many cases to put on that particular pallet for that order. This allows us to control what stock is going where. “We know when a pallet is fully picked as we’ve set the height of the hanging sign and the length of the label to indicate the full height of an order. When the pallet is full the picker can clearly see there is no room for more stock on that pallet. "The idea of using ballbearings to grip the pallet labels was all inotec’s." Glyn Maude General Manager Samworth Brothers Supply Chain “This means we have uniformity for all the pallets we’re picking. Prior to this we were sending pallets out that were all different heights – not many were too high but some were too low, now they all come out at a standard height. “Our new way of working has helped us reduce the amount of pallets we’re sending out to retailers. It also ensures we fill the trucks up as much as we can so that we don’t put additional vehicles on the road. This reduces our distribution costs benefitting both us and our customers. “A further advantage of the hanging signs is that the pallet labels are now up in the air and out of the way – before they were stuck on the pallet and could fall off, get stuck to something else or just generally go missing! The new sign system prevents this happening. “Our pick accuracy is already really high at 99.98 per cent but we still have a margin for error that we want to eliminate. Although we’ve only been operating this pick by line system for a short time I am expecting to see an improvement in picking accuracy. “The signage work that inotec has done here for us is great. We work really well together as our two companies have a lot in common in terms of work ethic and the way we view things. It’s a fantastic business, I’d give them ten out of ten every time.” "The signage work that inotec has done here for us is great…. It’s a fantastic business, I’d give them ten out of ten every time."
