CAEN RFID Releases New RFID Temperature Logger For Food And Pharma Industries
CAEN RFID, leading provider of electronic instrumentation for radio frequency identification, recently announced the release of a new temperature logger semipassive tag.
The EASY2LOG© Temperature Logger (Mod. A927Z) is a low cost, semi-passive UHF tag that allows to monitor temperature sensitive products during transportation or storage. Being compliant to the EPC Class1 Gen2/ISO18000-6C standard, EASY2LOG© can be used with most of the Gen2 UHF RFID readers available on the market without requiring any additional equipment.
"The underlying idea for this new product" says Giovanni Grieco, CAEN RFID's Sales Director, "is to use existing UHF RFID products, such as portal and handheld readers, as data capture devices also for temperature monitoring of goods. Once programmed, the tag will start to monitor the life of your temperature sensitive product, thus allowing to identify any problem occurred along the whole cold chain by just performing an inventory cycle".
Its low cost, small footprint, robust design and long battery lifetime (3 or 5 years versions available) allow EASY2LOG© to be not only a pallet-tag but also a case-tag, giving a very localized measurement of the temperature (e.g. monitoring different areas within a single cargo or truck).
The EASY2LOG© temperature logger is recommended for recording temperatures during transportation and/or storage of temperature-sensitive goods such as fresh food (fruit, vegetables), seafood, meat and poultry, milk-based products, frozen food, chemical/pharmaceutical products. Thanks to its features, EASY2LOG© is able to satisfy any request of temperature monitoring along the supply chain with the most cost effective solution available on the market.

CAEN RFID is a privately owned Italian company, leading supplier of UHF
RFID readers and tags. The company was born recently as a spin-off of
CAEN S.p.A. (Costruzioni Apparecchiature Elettroniche Nucleari), a
world-leading company with 28 years of experience in electronics for
particle and nuclear physics. The longstanding experience acquired with
Physics and Aerospace experiments has been the substrate on which the
new developments on Radio Frequency systems have begun. CAEN RFID has
been the first European company to manufacture long range UHF readers,
becoming today a leader in this field. As an active participant of ETSI
and EPCGlobal working groups, CAEN RFID is able to provide customers
with readers and tags that meet ISO/EPC standards and ETSI/FCC.
