Identiv has been an innovator in the NFC marketplace for years, with no signs of slowing down. Their product line has continued to grow with new NFC and RFID products that range in applications from asset tracking, logistics and supply chain management, industrial applications, pharmaceutical/medical environments, and RFID event access. Identiv has also been one of the few companies to truly connect NFC technology to the ever expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, by marrying secure NFC tags with digital credentials for authentication.
The latest creation to come out of Identiv, called the uTrust Sense Tag, is an adhesive NFC tag that takes the temperature of any surface over increments of time. This is an NFC tag unlike any other, and it has the potential to revolutionize the transportation, medical, floral, and food industries, as well as any other industry where temperature is extremely important to the safe delivery of goods. These tags have already been deployed and tested in the delivery of flower arrangements, and provided a safe means of tracking the temperature of surgical blood during transit between medical facilities.
The operation of this tag is very simple. When and uninitialized tags is read by an NFC enabled smart phone, the application on the phone prompts the user to enter the upper temperature limit, lower temperature limit, and the increment of time which temperature should be taken. Once the tag initialization is complete, the NFC tag immediately begins taking the temperature of the surface which it is placed. At any point during the transportation, or when the items reach their destination, the user need only tap the temperature tag to get in depth read outs of temperature display.
