TurboTag™ RFID Logger

The Smart Card Logger and Shelf Life Monitor

Global Sensors introduces the TurboTag™ − a breakthrough in modern technology.

TurboTag™ is a new “smart card” temperature logger that is also an RFID tag. It does everything that a normal temperature logger can do, but also functions as a supply chain tracking tool. Anything you can do with an RFID tag, TurboTag™ does it too.

TurboTag™ can be used in transit temperature monitoring, in-plant monitoring or for package or pallet-level monitoring.

The easiest way to experience TurboTag™ is to order a trial kit or a starting quantity of tags and a reader. You can order directly from our website:

TurboTag™ is specifically designed for transit monitoring. Most traditional logger devices take 2,000 readings or more. Experience has shown that for almost every application, there is no need for that much information. In fact, if logging intervals of less than ½ hour are observed, they are pretty much meaningless, as transient changes on that scale do not occur in temperature sensitive products. TurboTag™ takes up to 702 readings, which represents ½ hour intervals for two weeks. This covers the vast majority of transit applications. Even if the transit is longer, monitoring can be set to 1 hour intervals. This will cover an entire month with very realistic and useable resolution.

Transit monitoring systems often work to recycle logging devices. TurboTag™ employs a patented system for return and recycling of tags. The tag is placed inside of the waterproof pouch-envelope and adhered to a container or pallet in a load. At the end of the recording episode, the pouch-envelope can be easily separated from the attachment surface by the serrated separation line. It remains as a closed, pre-addressed pre-paid postal return mailer with the tag inside. The tag does not need to be removed for reading (it remains inside the pouch-envelope). Individual tags can be dropped in the mail for return.

Bulk return is often used in transit applications. In such cases, personnel gather tags at monitoring destinations and return packages of larger numbers of tags in a carton. TurboTag™ is especially cost-effective for this method, as the weight and cubic volume of the tag is less than 25% by weight or volume when compared to the smallest regular temperature logger now in use.
