Franwell rfid> EnviroSense Software System and Smart Labels
rfid> EnviroSense is a software system developed to interface with
our environmentally sensitive RFID tags to provide time and temperature
sensitive data for the transport and logistics of perishable goods. Maximum
value is derived from the information exchange with EnviroSense software
when it interfaces with readers at every point of transition throughout
the perishable-monitoring supply chain, as well as when it is integrated
with client systems on both ends of the chain.
Tag Design
The tags are actually semi-passive (or, semi-active) smart labels with
integrated data processor, memory, clock, and sensor for temperature
tracking capability. The read-write tags contain antennae powered by
a battery that can be configured to differing radio frequencies. The
EnviroSense battery, as fine as a sheet of paper, is environmentally
friendly. The sensor integrated into the chip can be configured for differing
operation modes to record the first value outside and first value inside
the programmed limits, or to record all temperature values outside the
limits.
The EnviroSense
System

Sensor Controls
EnviroSense handles a temperature range
from minus 15 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees above Celsius, with
accuracy to one Kelvin plus or minus, within the range of negative
five degrees Celsius to positive 10 degrees Celsius. Temperature
can be configured to limits within the normal operating range.
Additionally, a humidity sensor having a range of 0 - 100%, with
a 1% plus or minus differentiation, can also be incorporated
into the tag. |
Functionality
The EnviroSense sensor stores and processes data through its own application-specific
integrated circuit. Additionally, EnviroSense identifies product, sorts
through the distribution process, controls temperatures through varying
climatic conditions, and verifies product information with customer requirements.
Applicable Markets for EnviroSense
- Pharmaceuticals - transport and storage of blood bank and transfusion
medicine
- Chemicals - transport and storage of temperature sensitive chemicals
- Perishables - logistics for meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, dairy,
floral, etc.
