Made for the produce journey
A small label. More journeys made visible.
Temperature exposure and delays can affect quality, shelf life and commercial value. SNS-ONiO is designed to make monitoring practical across packing sheds, carriers, distributors and receiving sites.
One journey. No returns.
The single-use label travels with the produce. No device recovery, recharging or return programme to organise.
History stays with the label.
Temperature readings are stored locally between collection opportunities. Non-volatile memory retains recorded data when power is unavailable.
Designed for wider use.
Ultra-low-power electronics and biofuel-cell power help minimise hardware and deployment costs for carton and shipment monitoring.
ONiO, BeFC and Ambient IoT bring together processing, power and shipment intelligence within a compact adhesive label.
The bio-based power source offers an alternative to conventional battery-powered trackers. The environmental performance of the complete label depends on its materials and end-of-life handling.
Processing and sensing
ONiO’s ultra-low-power system-on-chip combines processing with integrated temperature sensing, reducing component count, cost and power consumption.
Thin biofuel-cell power
BeFC’s technology uses enzymes to convert chemical energy from bio-based fuel into electrical power. A two-cell power source supports the single-use label.
Firmware and visibility
Ambient IoT manages temperature recording, local storage and Hybrid BLE communications. SAVP brings temperature history and available location observations together.
Label construction
Compact by design.
Simple deployment
Peel. Attach. Monitor.
Activate
Lift the marked corner and completely remove the backing to activate the label.
Attach
Press firmly onto clean, dry carton packaging. Keep the front sensor area and QR code unobstructed.
Monitor
The label records temperature locally throughout the journey.
Hybrid BLE communications
Scan the label. See the shipment history.
Scan the QR code with an iPhone or Android phone to open the shipment record without downloading an application. Review recorded temperature readings, available location history and temperature exceptions.

QR opens the record.
Use the label’s QR code to access shipment information at receiving, handover or inspection.
BLE collects the readings.
Hybrid BLE combines low-power discovery with authenticated collection of readings stored on the label. Those collection opportunities keep the shipment record updated.
