Sept. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- SATO, an international leader in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry and a leader in barcode printing, labelling, and EPC/RFID solutions is to display its latest barcode and labelling solutions for the food and hospitality sector at Fastfood & Café and Restaurangexpo 2011, taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden this month.

SATO provides a range of innovative, competitively priced and simple to use solutions that have been created to make labelling, identifying and tracing goods an easy and time efficient process. Products being displayed include the recently launched TH2, an extremely simple to use label printer that is lightweight yet robust and capable of operating within a temperature range between 0 and 40˚C. The TH2 comes with a special antimicrobial coating, making it perfectly suited for labelling applications in businesses involving food.

The TH2 is capable of fulfilling multiple labelling applications in the food and hospitality sector. These include fresh food and ingredient labelling, price markdowns, clerk ticketing, fridge self-control and food safety and rotation labelling, essential for legal compliance.  The TH2 also represents a new concept in printing, namely Application Enabled Printing or AEP. Using SATO’s software it is possible for a user to create new applications very easily and to transfer or update this information via USB or LAN/WLAN.

SATO will also be displaying its wider range of innovative print and apply labelling systems. SATO provides both automatic and manual print and apply systems, offering industry leading time and cost savings, which have been designed to meet the food labelling requirements of catering facilities and large kitchens.
