RFIDRunner

High-Speed RFID Encoding System for Industrial Label Production

Introducing the RFIDRunner: a next-generation UHF encode-and-print system that is customizable, fast, and designed to improve speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in RFID label production. Print black or 4-color labels in a single pass with no waste, while enjoying a flexible system built to meet your operational needs.

Built on our proven GT Controller and equipped with the most reliable components available, the RFIDRunner combines speed, precision, and durability. eZid Open Contactless RFID Encoding supports UHF EPCglobal Gen2 (ISO 18000-63) as well as HF ISO/IEC 14443 A / MIFARE / NFC.

Traditional RFID printing and encoding methods, such as thermal transfer systems, often struggle to meet today’s industry demands — particularly mandates like Walmart’s RFID initiative, which require higher volumes at lower costs.

The RFIDRunner addresses these challenges with significant improvements in speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency. Capable of encoding and printing 10,000 RFID tags in under 12 minutes, it reduces production time, minimizes material waste, and lowers overall operational expenses.

At its core is a triple-Impinj architecture: one encoder identifies the TID, a second encodes the data, and a third performs multiple quality and data checks to ensure complete integrity. Production flexibility is built in, allowing the use of labels or cut tags on the same machine. Optional cameras enable full visual inspection, while Graph-Tech USA’s software provides multi-format support, audit file generation, and optional print, laser, or encryption integrations.

GTUS is ready for GS1 Sunrise 2027 and EPC RFID, providing a proven, end-to-end solution for modern RFID label production.

RFIDRunner - Datasheet

RFIDRunner

Can the RFIDRunner meet high-volume retailer RFID mandates, such as Walmart’s Gen2 UHF item-level tagging?

Graph-Tech USA’s RFIDRunner is built for high-speed, high-volume RFID label production. It can encode and print thousands of tags per run with GS1-compliant EPC formatting, complete audit traceability, and minimal waste — making it ideal for retailers requiring fast, accurate, and compliant item-level tagging.

 

How does the RFIDRunner integrate into existing digital and offset print workflows?

The RFIDRunner is designed for seamless integration with both digital and offset printing operations. It supports inline or nearline encoding, multiple software and hardware interfaces, and built-in quality checks to ensure consistent, accurate results without disrupting existing production workflows.
