CCL Faubel - Smart Label

Across intralogistics, production supply, and returnable container management, labeling has evolved from a static identifier into an active element of digital process control. Companies increasingly require labeling solutions that can be updated dynamically, reused over long periods, and integrated seamlessly into IT systems. The Faubel Logistics Label FLL addresses these requirements as a battery-free smart label with e-paper display and integrated RFID and NFC technology. Designed specifically for industrial logistics environments, it replaces disposable paper or plastic labels with a sustainable, digital alternative that improves transparency and efficiency throughout the supply chain.

A key characteristic of the Faubel Logistics Label is its energy-efficient and maintenance-free design. The label does not contain a battery and therefore requires no servicing during its lifecycle. Power is only needed when information is updated, which is done contactlessly via RFID or NFC. Once written, the e-paper display retains its content permanently without energy consumption. This makes the FLL particularly suitable for high-rotation environments such as returnable containers, Kanban systems, and closed-loop logistics processes, where manual label replacement and battery maintenance would otherwise generate significant effort and cost. By enabling fast, contactless updates, the FLL reduces handling time and minimizes labeling errors.

The Faubel Logistics Label is designed for seamless integration into digital logistics infrastructures. When connected to a Label Management Software, the smart labels can be embedded directly into SAP-supported logistics processes, allowing centralized management and consistent data synchronization. Label content can be updated at any time to reflect changes in product information, container assignments, destinations, or process status. This digital approach eliminates media breaks between IT systems and physical workflows, improves data accuracy, and ensures that all stakeholders work with the same up-to-date information across the supply chain.

Built for continuous industrial use, the FLL features a robust plastic housing that protects the electronics and display from mechanical stress and frequent handling. This durability makes it ideal for intralogistics, warehouse operations, production supply, and returnable transport item management, where labels must withstand repeated use over long periods. By combining RFID-based identification for automated systems with a clearly visible e-paper display for human operators, the Faubel Logistics Label bridges the gap between digital automation and manual processes. At IDCRAFT, we support customers in implementing RFID-based smart labeling solutions that improve efficiency, sustainability, and process reliability. For organizations seeking a reusable, maintenance-free, and digitally integrated labeling solution, the Faubel Logistics Label FLL provides a future-ready foundation for intelligent logistics operations.
