Smart Tag: the smart barcode
Varcode’s patented Smart Tag™ smart barcode labels are a revelation in TTI (time-temperature indicator) technology.
By linking temperature measurements to barcode data, Varcode has developed a low-cost but data-rich and easy-to-use solution for cold chain monitoring.
How it works.
The Smart Tag label is based on a chemical process that elicits a value change in the displayed bar code each time there is a violation of any multiple pre-set temperature limits. The label is activated by pulling out a tab, therefore no special storage is required.
From activation to recipient
The label can be read as much as desired throughout the cold chain : from the moment of activation to the retail recipient.
The smart barcode can be read by either a standard barcode reader or an iOS or Android-based smartphone or tablet. The use of a standard barcode reader ensures not only fast and accurate reading, but also easy integration into existing business procedures without any purchase of infrastructure or other investments.

Summary
Varcode has taken Time-Temperature Indicator (TTI) technology to a new level with their patented Smart Tag™ smart barcode labels. These innovative labels have changed the way we approach cold chain monitoring by linking temperature measurements to barcode data, creating an affordable, data-rich and easy-to-use solution.
The Smart Tag labels are based on a chemical process that causes a value change in the displayed bar code when preset temperature limits are exceeded. What is unique about these labels is that they are activated by simply pulling out a tab, meaning there are no special storage requirements. This makes them extremely practical and user-friendly.
Throughout the cold chain, from activation to receipt at retail, the smart barcodes can be read as many times as needed. They can be scanned with standard barcode readers, which not only ensures fast and accurate data capture, but also seamless integration into existing business processes without additional infrastructure costs or investments.
These labels offer a valuable solution for various industries, including food and beverage distribution, pharmaceuticals and more. They ensure that temperature deviations during transport are immediately detected, ensuring product quality and safety. Moreover, they can be read with iOS- and Android-based smartphones and tablets, providing additional flexibility and convenience for users.
Varcode’s Smart Tag smart barcode labels have raised the bar for cold chain monitoring and continue to play a critical role in ensuring the integrity of temperature-sensitive products during their journey from production to end user.
