CHARLOTTE, NC – SATO, a pioneer in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry and a leader in barcode printing, labeling, and EPC/RFID solutions, announced the latest release of its labeling software, Label Gallery 3 (LG3).

LG3 follows in the tradition of innovation that SATO proudly upholds. It is the result of a user-centric product design process to create a more enhanced and better-suited barcode and RFID label design and printing solution for PC and mobile device users.

The release of the new Software Developer Kits increases the technology capabilities for developers to create feature-rich applications for PC and mobile devices.
