SATO's Business Model - Data Collection Systems (DCS) & Labeling

Auto-identification is a technology that replaces information about people and goods with barcodes, 2D codes and RFID (IC tags/labels), automatically reads them, and thereby enables users to acquire and authenticate the information. Auto-identification technology is a vital part of the infrastructure for manufacturing, delivery, transportation, retail and medical care, and a range of other industries. It plays an important role in our lives.
DCS & Labeling is SATO's unique business model that offers total solutions ranging from hardware, software, and media supplies to maintenance support. We harness auto-identification technology to collect information on the movement of people and goods.
As an integrated manufacturer of auto-identification systems, SATO will bring precision, labor saving and resource saving to customer operations through DCS & Labeling while also helping to preserve the environment.

SATO staff in product development, manufacturing, sales and customer engineering call on their expertise and creativity to integrate customer service. SATO is proud to answer customer needs with its exceptional staff, the real source of its corporate value.

Total management combining information with the flow of goods and people in the field.
We realize Precision, Labor Saving and Resource Savings through DCS & Labeling.

Bringing a unique business model to the world

SATO brings to its overseas expansion a "glocal" vision that combines a global perspective with local qualities. In 1986, SATO built a hardware manufacturing plant in Malaysia and established subsidiaries in major Asian and European countries, as well as in the United States.
SATO combines seamless support for global enterprises with community-based sales activities. The brand power of the SATO Group, with its operations in countries around the world, makes this possible. As SATO continues to expand globally, it will continue to bolster its ability to help develop the global community.
