The Ultra Wireless Label (photo, p. 62) enables users to wirelessly download time and temperature information and analyze data before unloading a perishable product from a container. These labels are activated and applied to product or product packaging before shipping. At any point during distribution, the Ultra Wireless Reader can collect data from any label within a 300-ft line-of-sight range or approximately 60-ft obstructed range with the simple touch of a button. Information from up to 30 labels can be downloaded at one time. Time and temperature data can be examined on the screen of the Ultra Wireless Reader immediately after download, which helps users make quick decisions on product quality. Detailed information from the reader, including temperature alert notifications, can then be downloaded to a PC for emailing and permanent storage. Ultra Wireless Labels are flat, about the size of a credit card, and are encased in waterproof food-grade packaging. They take up less space than competing products, says the vendor, and can be easily returned to the manufacture for recycling. — PakSense, Boise, Idaho
