Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) has launched an ultra-thin cargo tracking label. Only slightly larger than a credit card, the G+D Smart Label proposition has been jointly developed by G+D in conjunction with its hardware partner, Sensos for a range of applications. These include parcel delivery and shipping, fleet management and monitoring the movement of luxury goods.
The solution includes hardware, an iSIM, IoT connectivity, and an IoT platform that manages the connection and firmware updates.
The Smart Label uses smart motion sensors that detect movement and acceleration, while GPS accuracy has been tested to sub-10m precision in ideal conditions.
Additional features include an open-close sensor for tamper protection and automated proof of delivery, and a temperature monitor for perishable goods.
Activation of the label is triggered when it is peeled and applied to an item and it is reusable and certified for air transport.
Head of portfolio strategy for IoT solutions at G+D, Sharath Muddaiah, said: “Following the launch of our award-winning first-generation Smart Label solution in 2023, we have been working on the development of an even more compact and highly accurate solution. The G+D Smart Label provides a single end-to-end solution, including dedicated service support and warranty from one source. Our industry has seen many a solution which, once sold, has limited support, and we are here to set a new trend.”
The G+D Smart Label is available to purchase directly from G+D and from G+D’s IoT Shop for German and US customers.
G+D will be showcasing the Smart Label at the CES show at he Las Vegas Convention Center in the
on Thursday, January 9. (IoT M2M Council (IMC) booth #10577).
