Label tag Smart Tag™

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 SmartTag™ 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. Custom Configurations for the Smart Tag™ Varcode is dedicated to customizing your temperature monitoring system to your business needs. Our Smart Tag™ comes in a variety of standard time and temperature configurations based on industry needs ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C) with time parameters from 15 minutes to 24 hours or more. ‍
