Application Briefs

Country of Origin Labeling

In 2008, the USDA Country of Origin requirements expanded in scope. By March 31, 2009, food manufacturers and 

distributors need to clearly identify national origin for many products and provide corresponding recordkeeping 

documents with each shipment. Mishaps in this process can cost time, money, and even valued customers. Users 

can now streamline, error-proof, and cost-reduce this process with Intermec’s Country of Origin Labeling solution.

Food Service Distribution

The food service distribution industry has grown over the years to a multi-billion dollar market. 

The large providers typically ship to grocery chains, hotels, contract food service operations, 

healthcare facilities, multi-unit restaurant operations, just to name a few. Both at the carton 

level and pallet level, items need to be identified and tracked through the distribution channel. 

Activities include order picking, batch picking, replenishment, and transportation.

 

Integration of RFID Smart Labels for Third Party Logistics

Effective warehouse management involves the control and monitoring of movement of materials including 

receiving, storage, picking, staging, and shipping. The increased use of outsourcing these activities has given rise 

to the rapid growth of third party logistics or 3PL. 3PL providers typically specialize in integrating warehousing 

and operation services that can be scaled and customized to a customer’s requirements. The use of 3PL has 

become a cost effective way for many businesses to reduce supply chain costs and increase customer satisfaction. 

With any logistics process, opportunities for human error exist resulting in misplaced or mis-directed inventory.

Mobile Labeling for Warehouse and Manufacturing Facility

Bar coding is a critical component in maintaining accuracy and efficiency in a warehouse environment. 

Shipping, receiving, and cross docking, picking and packing, shelf labeling, and tote labeling applications 

are integral to successful operations. Increasingly, companies are leveraging mobile labeling solutions in 

these applications. By enabling workers to print labels at the point of activity, mobile solutions enable 

a more flexible workflow, increased productivity and fewer errors. Intermec’s integrated mobile printer 

and Duratherm media products deliver a comprehensive array of choices to meet these needs.

Intermec offers a mix of media products to address the requirements of many specific industry applications. Intermec has developed many 

Applications Brief documents that detail the media performance and regulatory requirements for specific applications for a variety of 

industries. Below you will find the seven Application Briefs targeted specifically at the Healthcare market.
