E-Garde UHF RFID Data Logger for continuous monitoring in shipping and warehouses
All-in-one semi-passive RFID tag for cold chain and warehouse visibility
Think WIoT announces the availability of the E-Garde UHF RFID Data Logger, a rugged, semi-passive RAIN RFID (EPC Gen2 compliant) tag designed to simplify quality control in logistics and warehousing.
By combining four onboard sensors in a single unit, the device enables organizations to measure and record temperature, humidity, shock/impact, and illuminance throughout shipping and storage, creating reliable proof-of-condition data for analysis, compliance, and claims prevention.
In supply chains where products face temperature excursions, condensation, rough handling, or unexpected light exposure, relying on manual checks or isolated measurements can leave critical gaps. The E-Garde RFID Data Logger supports automated checkpoints across the process and transmits recorded data wirelessly to a UHF RFID reader, where it can be delivered to a host system for reporting and decision-making.
E-Garde UHF RFID Data Logger
The UHF RFID Data Logger provides integrated multi-sensor monitoring with wireless transmission for efficient industrial and logistics quality control.
Application areas
1) Logistics and cold-chain monitoring
The E-Garde UHF RFID Data Logger is primarily designed for logistics quality control during shipping. It records temperature, humidity, impact/shock, and illuminance throughout transport and sends the data to an RFID reader and backend system for analysis.
Example scenarios include:
Monitoring temperature-sensitive goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics
Tracking handling conditions throughout transport
Detecting shocks or light exposure that may indicate damage or tampering
Providing evidence data if goods arrive damaged or if disputes occur
Because the tag captures environmental data during shipment and transfers it to a host system, logistics teams can analyze conditions along the supply chain and verify product quality.
2) Warehouse continuous monitoring
The device can also function as a continuous monitoring tag in warehouses where environmental conditions must remain stable.
Typical use cases include:
Monitoring cold storage conditions
Tracking temperature and humidity in storage areas
Detecting accidental impacts during handling
Ensuring compliance with storage requirements
As a semi-passive tag, it uses minimal battery power while supporting reliable long-range RFID reads for ongoing monitoring.
3) Food traceability and inventory monitoring
RFID sensor tags like those from E-Garde are also used in food traceability and warehouse inventory management, helping teams monitor product condition and movement across the supply chain.
Typical applications include:
Monitoring perishable goods
Tracking cold-chain compliance
Linking environmental data with inventory management systems
