How Zebra Supports Digital Product Passport Implementation

Enabling Seamless Data Capture with Trusted RFID

Zebra RFID solutions enable fast, accurate, automated data capture without a line of sight, which is important for maintaining accurate records in DPP systems. Unlike traditional barcodes, RFID tags can be read rapidly and in bulk, significantly boosting efficiency across industry supply chains  while reducing human error. This comprehensive, durable, and easily integrable technology provides the essential, granular data needed to enhance supply chain transparency, combat counterfeiting, and support critical circular economy initiatives, ultimately helping businesses meet DPP compliance and sustainability goals.

Enhancing Accessibility with Barcode Solutions

Zebra barcode solutions provide a widely accessible and cost-effective method for linking physical products to their digital information. This accessibility enables consumers, retailers, and supply chain partners to access DPP data on product origin, materials, environmental impact, and end-of-life instructions, thereby enhancing transparency, supporting sustainable choices, and bolstering brand trust and anti-counterfeiting efforts.

Unlock DPPs with Zebra Mobile Computers

QR codes are an important element of DPP enabling customers and employees to access passports without RFID readers. Zebra mobile computers have high quality cameras and built in barcode scanner options that offer superior reading capabilities. Their rugged design ensures durability, while long battery life and seamless system integration boost efficiency for product traceability and compliance.
