Tracking packages and shipments around the word is about to get a lot easier, thanks to the introduction of Pod Group’s new Smart Label. This paper-thin 5G tracking label is incredibly thin – just two millimeters thick – and provides a reliable connection to update its location in real time. The label attaches easily on boxes, including letter mail, and features a printed battery inside that can last up to six months before needing replacement.
The Smart Label also includes temperature sensors that can detect if foods or medicines have been exposed to problematic conditions, as well as motion sensors that can detect when an item has been dropped or banged around during shipping. This can help pinpoint any potential package damage or compromised goods before it arrives at its destination.
In addition, this device offers more accountability when it comes to who is using these labels and for what purpose. Unlike Apple’s AirTags which rely on iPhones being placed nearby to provide updated locations, the Smart Label broadcasts its whereabouts through a cellular connection – meaning shippers and receivers have more security in knowing where their shipment is at all times.
Pod Group believes the use of their Smart Labels will make supply chain processes even more efficient than ever before – allowing for geofenced notifications when a package arrives at or departs from certain locations, as well as providing peace of mind knowing shipments are secure from start-to-finish.
