Labeling Technology Emerges in Horticulture
Labeling technology continues to develop, even though it’s developed over the past 20 years. While the retail industry has embraced the accountability and organization that it offers, the horticulture industry is slow to adapt. In this blog, we will explore the various ways these innovations can be applied and enhance business. Grow with a clear understanding of what your plants experience. Because while the industry is slow to adapt, it seems this is the future of horticulture.
Uses for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

How Does RFID Also Impact My Growing Cycle?
Using RFID technology increases accountability and effective communication as well as save time and money. Considering RFID tags work on livestock, the technology is robust and ready for any environment. Empower your team to grow with precision at every stage of the growing cycle. What once was difficult is now so much easier.
Ultra High Frequency (UHF)
UHF labels, also known as passive RFID labels, created from RFID UHF inlay and a barcode label. It is then printed and encoded by UHF printers.
Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC labels are labels that are rooted in RFID technology. They also communicate with devices, including smartphones, that are within 1.6 inches. Download the free app, Easy NFC Writer, to simply and effectively program NFC labels. This provides opportunities to create an ease with your customer relationships.
