Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

Companies partner for temperature monitoring system

Monday, June 21, 2010

1st Choice Security Solutions and Advanced Asset Tracking Solutions have partnered to provide a long-range RFID transportation temperature monitoring system.

The system, coined TransTemp, utilizes RFID tags affixed to goods for monitoring storage temperature requirements during transportation. Tags can be placed into shipping containers, refrigerated containers and trucks, air freight and catering trucks


TransTemp features an alarm-handling system log that enable businesses to determine if the goods temperature exceeds the food safety standards range. This can be viewed from an onsite computer or from a provided Web portal to maintain conformance against the HACCP food safety standards.

The system also leverages a multi-communications platform to enable real-time monitoring of storage temperature in transportation vehicles in any geographical location with public mobile network coverage (GSM/CDMA). [end] 

Siemens along with the University of Graz, Austria have created an RFID-enabled blood monitoring system, according to AZoSensors.

The system consists of a temperature sensor, a chip and a battery. RFID labels contain information about the blood and help regulate the complete cooling series by using temperature sensors. The sensor remains in the same position throughout the entire transportation system, including the centrifuge, and is strong enough to endure centrifugal processes at 5000 times the acceleration of gravity.
