Precise NFC-Enabled Temperature Tags

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

UltraNFC Labels and Tags Monitor Temperatures of Perishables

— February 10, 2017 — Tech
When shipping perishable foods, it's essential to keep accurate and up to date information on metrics like temperature and time, and UltraNFC's two new tags use technology to do just that. The two NFC-enabled tags, called the UltraNFC Paksense and the SmartTraxx GO, allow producers to take data at every step in the supply chain, giving unprecedented analytical information that can be used to improve a company's shipping system as a whole.

The UltraNFC Paksense is particularly appealing for companies, as its technology is compatible with any Android device. That means that any person involved in the supply chain, from farmers to truck drivers to last mile recipients, can access the data surrounding that shipment of perishable items simply by tapping their phone to the thin, low-profile tags.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Shipping - The use of NFC-enabled tags to monitor and analyze temperature data in the supply chain is revolutionizing the shipping industry.
2. Data-driven Logistics - The ability to collect and utilize analytical information at every step of the supply chain is transforming logistics operations.
3. Mobile Supply Chain - The compatibility of NFC-enabled tags with Android devices is enabling easy access to critical data for all parties involved in the supply chain.
Industry Implications
1. Food & Beverage - The food and beverage industry can leverage NFC-enabled temperature tags to ensure the quality and safety of perishable goods during transportation.
2. Logistics - The logistics industry can benefit from the use of NFC-enabled tags to optimize shipping processes and enhance traceability.
3. Smartphone Technology - The smartphone technology industry can tap into the demand for NFC-enabled tags and develop innovative solutions for the supply chain.
