American Thermal Instruments is proud to expand its revolutionary line-up to include the Log-ic Electronic Content Monitor. Using patented technologies, this line of low-cost active RFID sensors act as watchdogs in temperature-regulated or temperature-sensitive environments. Shipments of refrigerated goods can be "tagged" with Log-ic ECM tags capable of monitoring temperatures in refrigerated shipping environments..
These tags can be kept in inventory in a power conserving sleep mode until they are required. A simple push button system activates the tag to begin monitoring the contents of a refrigerated package. The tags are capable of receiving programmable temperature thresholds via 2-way RFID communication. In the event of a temperature excursion (for example, greater than 10 minutes exposure to more than 8°C) the tag is programmed to display a warning light to the end user that an excursion point has been reached. ATI 's Log-ic ECM system offers attractive price-performance options ranging from inexpensive and disposable to re-usable specialty tags.
Log-ic ECM tags do not have to be removed from the shipping carton to capture their data. This saves time and provides the shipper and customer with package integrity during the cold chain. On receipt of a shipment of temperature controlled product, the Log-ic ECM data can be downloaded via the wireless CertiScan RFID Reader to ensure that proper temperature was maintained during the entire chain of a shipment. Quality and safety of perishable goods can now be tracked, verified and documented without active human intervention. The Log-ic ECM tag can perform and store a large number of temperature readings, lending itself to temperature and coldchain monitoring situations. Using a patented system, the Log-ic ECM can also monitor for evidence of package tampering.
