TTI – Continuous Monitoring
Active Label’s Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) labels offer a simple, cost-effective and scalable solution for continuous monitoring of temperature-sensitive products throughout the cold chain.
Based on the controlled decay of materials' optical properties, the labels record the cumulative effect of time and temperature, providing a complete history of the thermal conditions to which the product has been exposed. Once activated, the indicator progressively changes color, allowing for immediate assessment of any exposure to temperatures outside the expected thresholds.
TTI Active Labels guarantee continuous monitoring for up to 2-3 weeks within a temperature range of -20°C to +20°C and can be easily integrated into existing packaging processes without requiring electronic components or batteries. Each label can be embedded within a QR code, allowing for unique product identification and immediate data collection via a dedicated app.
A simple scan provides information on the recorded temperature, date, and location of the reading. All data is automatically sent to the Active Label Dashboard, ensuring complete real-time traceability and greater control across the entire supply chain.
Main Advantages
- Continuous monitoring of temperature exposure;
- Low-cost and easily scalable solution;
- Complete history of product thermal conditions;
- No batteries or electronics required;
- Easy integration into existing packaging processes;
- Automatic data collection via QR code scanning;
- Full integration with the Active Label Dashboard.
CTI – Threshold Monitoring
Active Label's Critical Time-Temperature Indicator (CTI) labels provide a simple and effective solution for detecting critical temperature thresholds throughout the supply chain.
Designed to verify compliance with specific temperature limits, CTI labels provide an immediate and irreversible visual indication when a predefined temperature is exceeded. This allows operators, distributors, and quality managers to quickly identify any products that may have been subjected to non-compliant storage or transportation conditions.
Unlike continuous monitoring systems, CTI labels function as binary indicators, providing an immediate answer to one fundamental question: has the temperature threshold been exceeded or not?
The technology can be customized based on specific application needs and required reference temperatures, using different materials and solutions depending on the operating context. This makes the system extremely versatile and suitable for numerous cold chain scenarios.
CTI labels require no batteries, electronics, or dedicated reading devices, providing a highly scalable, cost-effective solution that can be easily integrated into existing processes.
Main Advantages
- Low-cost and easily scalable solution;
- Immediate detection of exceeding temperature thresholds;
- Clear and irreversible visual indication;
- Simple and immediate verification of product integrity;
- No batteries or electronics required;
- No dedicated hardware required for reading;
- Customizable to specific temperature needs;
- Suitable for the food, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors.
RFID – Active and Passive Monitoring
Active Label integrates active and passive RFID technologies to offer accurate, scalable, real-time tracking solutions across the entire supply chain.
These electronic devices communicate via RFID or NFC technology and can be read by dedicated checkpoints, portable readers, or compatible smartphones. Thanks to their high sensitivity and precision, RFID systems enable reliable data collection and comprehensive visibility of product conditions and logistics flows.
Depending on operational needs, Active Label offers active and passive RFID solutions, designed for different monitoring scenarios.
Active RFID
Active RFID devices are equipped with an internal battery and integrated memory, functioning as real data loggers.
They continuously record environmental data at predetermined intervals and store information during transportation and storage. This feature makes them particularly suitable for monitoring shipments and continuously monitoring the cold chain during transport.
Passive RFID
Passive RFID devices require no batteries or onboard memory. They provide information only when interrogated by an RFID reader or compatible device.
Their simplicity, reliability, and ease of integration make them particularly suitable for warehouse monitoring, inventory management, and checks at storage points.
Integrated Monitoring
Both active and passive RFID systems are fully integrated into the Active Label Dashboard, enabling centralized data collection, real-time information visualization, and advanced analytics through a single platform.
Main Advantages
- Precise monitoring of temperature and environmental conditions;
- Continuous data recording via active RFID;
- Efficient control of warehouses and storage using passive RFID;
- Real-time data collection via RFID and NFC technologies;
- Scalable solution for every stage of the supply chain;
- Full integration with the Active Label Dashboard;
- Greater traceability and operational visibility;
- Suitable for the food, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors.
Anti-theft Labels and Anti-counterfeiting Solutions
Active Label develops protection solutions designed to increase product safety throughout the entire supply chain, from production to distribution and the point of sale.
Anti-shoplifting labels
Active Label anti-theft labels represent a simple and effective solution for highlighting any tampering attempts.
Once applied, they are designed to deteriorate upon removal, leaving some of the material adhering to the original surface. This makes any unauthorized opening or removal immediately visible.
The solution does not require software, electronic components or dedicated devices, making it easy to integrate into any production or packaging process.
Main Advantages
- Immediate evidence of any tampering;
- Simple and economical solution;
- No batteries, electronics or dedicated hardware;
- Easy integration into existing packaging processes;
- Greater product safety along the supply chain.
ActiveSeal – Anti-Counterfeiting Technology
ActiveSeal is an innovative technology developed to provide each product with a unique and verifiable identity.
The system is based on the use and combination of materials with different physical properties. During label production, these materials generate a unique physical signature associated with each product, which serves as a non-replicable identifier.
Just as a barcode contains digital information, ActiveSeal leverages the inherent characteristics of materials to create a physical authentication code embedded directly into the label.
This approach offers new opportunities to combat counterfeiting, improve traceability, and protect brand value throughout the supply chain.
Main Advantages
- Unique product identification;
- Greater protection against counterfeiting;
- Non-replicable physical authentication mechanism;
- Possible integration with digital traceability systems;
- No impact on the aesthetics of the packaging;
- Scalable solution for brand and product protection.
