CAS DataLoggers, Inc. Release: UHF RFID Temperature Tags For Cold Chain Traceability

CHESTERLAND, OH—April 12, 2016

For 24/7 temperature monitoring of perishable foods and medicines, CAS DataLoggers and CAEN RFID offer the Easy2log© RT0005 RFID Temperature Datalogger. These semi-passive UHF Logger tags are designed specifically for the Food & Beverage and Pharma industries.

RFID Tags for Cold Chain Visibility:

Many of our customers want to get their product temperature data quickly and effortlessly upon receipt of the product. Point of origin is important to them. They want an inexpensive notepad-sized device that’s easy for drivers and vendors to use.

We supply them with the CAEN RFID RT0005, a temperature datalogger incorporating RFID technology within a sealed plastic card. The datalogger records temperature and auto-tracks information including product destination. Using CAEN RFID Temperature Tags, you can verify:

• Temperature

• Destination

• Shipping route

--all with one scan!

Track Temperature at Every Link of the Chain:

The CAEN RFID RT0005 is a semi-passive UHF Logger tag that records temperature from perishable food and pharmaceutical products in transportation and storage applications. Using an EPC C1G2 RFID interface, these tags have a read range of 10m in air @ 2W ERP. Ideal for use in shipping, RFID tags enable you to instantly check the temperature of your products anywhere, anytime.

CAEN RFID’s high-accuracy sensor, large memory size, and alarm capabilities makes it easy to integrate temperature monitoring into your existing logistic operation. Each RFID data logger can be used over multiple shipments thanks to its long battery life and a Quick Reset function.

Personnel can start the RT0005 tag either by pressing a button or via standard RFID commands. Their bright LEDs make it easy for staff to do a quick temperature check. The tags can also calculate the Mean Kinetic Temperature and remaining product shelf life time. These devices also generate alarms whenever values exceed your preset High & Low Temperature alarms.

Pharmaceutical Cold Chains:

An External Probe model (RT0005ET) is also available, making it possible to measure temperature even inside a shielded box where the RFID field cannot get through. This is a popular product for Pharma applications involving perishable medications and samples.

Track Shipments Online:

Available as a free download, the Easy2log© software allows you to configure, control and download data from the temperature tags. CAEN RFID products also support integration with a web portal so that when you input your Tracking Number, you’ll see the time, location info, and the entire temperature history all the way from the shipment time to the checkpoint!

UHF RFID Readers:

RFID makes it quick and easy for users to download their critical temperature data. We offer both desktop and portable UHF RFID readers as an alternative to more expensive handheld devices. Our readers have an integrated antenna for short- to medium-range applications and feature a Bluetooth® interface for quick data collection.

It’s easy for personnel to use our mobile or desktop RFID readers by just walking near a product palette or box to collect the tags’ data. This way users can get data from multiple tags simultaneously, even from long distances.
