An end effector assembly for use in a surgical robotic system includes an anvil assembly and a staple cartridge assembly operably coupled to the anvil assembly. The staple cartridge assembly includes a chassis defining an elongate channel therein, a staple cartridge body configured for removable receipt in the elongate channel of the chassis, and a shipping wedge removably coupled to the staple cartridge body and at least partially covering a tissue-contacting surface of the staple cartridge body. The shipping wedge has a machine-readable medium thereon that stores a characteristic of the staple cartridge body.
