Periodic Reporting for period 2 - SensaSticker (Improving the global cold chain with cutting-edge temperature monitoring solution)

Reporting period: 2019-08-01 to 2021-01-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The aim of SensaSticker is to mature, validate and commercialize our highly cost-effective end-to-end cold chain temperature logging platform, based on our RFID and NFC temperature logger sticker.

Huge amounts of food and other temperature sensitive goods are damaged by temperature deviations in the cold chain. By using the TAG Sensors solution for temperature logging, more frequent temperature measurements can be made due to automation and high cost-efficiency. Through increased visibility in the cold chain, deviations can be detected and corrected, and the loss of temperature sensitive goods can be reduced.

Our solution consists of a temperature logger sticker which is attached to a single product or a package with several products, a mobile app and handheld reader which reads the temperature log from the temperature logger sticker, and a database that stores all temperature logs.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

Optimization of the SensaSticker solution, further development of our production, supply chain development, IPR, market monitoring, communication activities, business innovation and commercialization plan development and project management and scale-up. SensaSticker ready for commercialization.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

TAG Sensors is finalizing a highly cost-effective and automated temperature logger sticker solution, enabling comprehensive temperature logging through an entire cold chain, from production to consumption. By assisting customers in detecting deviations in the cold chain and hereby optimizing the cold chain, TAG Sensors aims to reduce the loss of temperature sensitive goods and improve the quality of temperature sensitive products. In a food context, due to increased detection and removal of deteriorated food, this may also lead to reduced foodborne illnesses.
