CAS DataLoggers offers UHF RFID tags, readers for cold chain systems

CAS DataLoggers has introduced its new UHF RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cold chain solutions from manufacturer CAEN RFID, specializing in temperature monitoring products for shipping and storage. CAEN RFID Easy2log Data Loggers will streamline a cold chain operation and are available immediately.
CAS DataLoggers provide CAEN RFID’s state-of-the-art RFID-enabled temperature logger tags and readers for perishable products. In contrast to USB data loggers, CAEN RFID tags allow the user to track and trace product for complete cold chain validation and transparency.
Using RFID tags and readers, you can configure devices and download data through packaging and boxes thanks to the wireless link. Collect data from multiple loggers simultaneously, even at long distance, and automate operations by installing reading stations at critical checkpoints.
These products also support integration with a web portal so when you input your tracking number, you’ll see the time, location info, and the entire temperature history from the shipment time to checkpoint.
CAEN RFID products seamlessly add temperature monitoring to other logistic solutions. Easy2log temperature logger RFID tags can be read and configured using a standard EPCGlobal-compliant RFID reader without needing special commands or devices. RFID loggers can be used over multiple shipments thanks to long battery life and reset function.
Two semi-passive tags monitor and record temperature data—the Easy2log A927Z and RT0005 UHF RFID tags. The combination of a high-resolution sensor, large memory, alarm capability, and standard RFID interface makes these data loggers an effective way to track and trace cold chain products.
The RT0005 tag can be started either by pressing a button or via standard RFID commands. This tag is also able to calculate the Mean Kinetic Temperature and the configurable remaining shelf life time as well as generate alarms in case these values exceed user-defined thresholds.
An external probe model is also available for both models of data loggers to measure temperature even inside a shielded box where the RFID field cannot get through.
The Slate UHF RFID desktop reader is a multi-regional UHF RFID reader with integrated antenna for short- to medium-range applications. Powered and controlled directly by a USB cable, the Slate can read EPC Class1 Gen2 UHF RFID tags in a desktop environment.
We also offer portable UHF RFID readers designed for use in indoor or outdoor applications.
The Wearable Bluetooth RFID Reader, usable with the Easy2read family, is a UHF multiregional RFID reader with integrated antenna for short- to medium-range applications. It is compliant with ISO 18000-6C/EPC C1G2 standards. The reader hosts an internal rechargeable battery and can operate either in wired mode using a USB cable or in wireless mode via Bluetooth interface.
