Problems solved by technology

Also, active technologies may have insufficient communication infrastructure and form factors (e.g., rigid printed circuit boards housed in traditional plastic enclosures), which limit technologies for tracking large, bulky items (e.g., pallets)
Additionally, conventional passive and active tracking solutions can be vulnerable to package tampering

example 1

[0063] Example 1. A tag comprising: a flexible substrate; and a flexible circuit coupled to the flexible substrate, the flexible circuit comprising a power supply, a microcontroller, a plurality of sensors, one or more a transceiver and an antenna, wherein the microcontroller: identifies sensor readings in one or more signals from the plurality of sensors, and communicates via one or more standard wireless transmission protocols to the central computer and computer network One or more of the sensor readings are sent, wherein at least one of the sensor readings is sent in push communication.

example 2

[0064] Example 2. The tag of example 1, wherein the sensor readings indicate one or more of a temperature measurement crossing a temperature threshold, a humidity measurement crossing a humidity threshold, a vibration event, an impact event, and a tamper event.

example 3

[0065] Example 3. The tag of any one of examples 1-2, wherein the microcontroller generates the push communication in response to an event associated with the sensor reading.

Abstract

Relates to internet of things tags for factory and warehouse applications. A system, apparatus, and method for tag technology includes a flexible substrate and a flexible circuit coupled to the flexible substrate, the flexible circuit including a power source, a microcontroller, a plurality of sensors, one or more transceivers, and an antenna. The microcontroller may be configured to identify sensor readings in one or more signals from the plurality of sensors, and transmit the sensor readings to one or more of a central computer and a computer network via one or more standard wireless transport protocols, at least one of the sensor readings is transmitted in a push communication.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to object labeling. More particularly, embodiments relate to IoT tags for factory and warehouse applications. Background technique [0002] Traditional object tracking within a factory can rely heavily on manual processing, which can be costly and time-consuming. While recent smart tracking solutions may reduce the reliance on manual processing, there is still considerable room for improvement. For example, passive technologies such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier) ​​tags or NFC (Near Field Communication) modules can only provide intermittent tracking in response to interrogation by passive devices. Also, active technologies may have insufficient communication infrastructure and form factors (eg, rigid printed circuit boards housed in traditional plastic enclosures), which limit technologies for tracking large, bulky items (eg, pallets). Additionally, conventional passive and active tracking...
