Temperature Indicator Labels
Data loggers have been the foundation of cold chain logistics for years. However, data loggers replace one problem with another: they’ll provide lots of data, but it’s up to the shipper to make sense of it. And they are expensive. Varcode has responded with the Smart Tag™.
These innovative temperature indicator barcode labels provide dynamic temperature updates to your cold chain logistics professionals at any point during the journey, at a fraction of the cost of electronic data loggers.
Digitized Time Temperature Indicators
Varcode’s patented Smart Tag™ utilizes technology that causes the barcode to shift dynamically as the temperature changes within the shipping container. The labels provide cumulative temperature-time exposure at a variety of time intervals and can tell when the shipment dropped below an acceptable temperature range for a predetermined period of time. The result is a barcode that can tell a story every time it’s scanned.
The Smart Tag™ can be applied to the product in-line or post-production.
Format the SmartTag™ in any industry barcode standard, including UPC, EAN, Code 128, and more.
Shipping pharmaceuticals or food? Varcode designed the SmartTag™ to aid with FDA compliance.
