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.
Although it is a temperature logger, it has some important
advantages:
(1) It costs less than almost any logger, and is more
accurate
(2) It is lighter in weight and size (about the size and
weight of two stacked credit cards) , so it is
cost-effective for shipping and storage
(3) You can do remote, high speed reading of the
complete temperature record
(4) It computes product shelf life and
allows "shelf life remaining" to be used as an alarm
criterion
(5) Available in Pharmaceutical Grade
(Validated and works with 21 CFR Part 11 Software -
Digital Signature and Audit Trail)
The easiest way to experience TurboTag™ is
to order a trial kit or a starting quantity of tags and a
reader.

Transit Temperature Monitoring with TurboTag™
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 ˝ 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 ˝ 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.
