Sensing Tag
Real-time temperature monitoring, peel to activate
Captures location and temperature. Streams to Blecon Track in real time. Ultra-thin BLE smart label, peel to activate, 90-day lifetime.
Sensing Tag in the Blecon system
Sensing Tag captures location and condition data, streaming both in real time when in coverage. Like every Blecon Tag, it broadcasts over Bluetooth Low Energy to Hotspots, which relay the data to Blecon Network and Blecon Track. The system around it is the same as for any Blecon Tag. Sensing Tag is the option when condition data matters in real time.
Apply, monitor, deliver
Apply at origin, monitor through transit, deliver with a record at destination.
Apply
Peel the backing and apply the label to the shipment. The Sensing Tag activates immediately and begins broadcasting. The flexible form conforms to cartons, boxes, crates and palletised loads.
Monitor
As the shipment moves, location and temperature stream to Blecon Track in real time. Operations teams see condition data through the journey, without waiting for arrival.
Deliver
At destination, the shipment arrives with its temperature record. The label is disposed with the packaging. Each Sensing Tag covers a single journey.
Blecon Sensing Tag
The Smart Label is Blecon's Sensing Tag for single-journey shipments. It's an ultra-thin, peel-to-activate BLE label that streams location and temperature to Blecon Track in real time and is disposed with the packaging at the shipment's destination.
Where Sensing Tags fit
Sensing Tags fit single-journey shipments where location and temperature data matters from origin to delivery.
Perishables, frozen goods and chilled shipments where each consignment carries its own temperature record. The Smart Label travels with the shipment, captures temperature throughout the journey and is disposed with the packaging at the destination.
Air freight and one-way shipments where single-use tag economics suit the operation.
Other Blecon Tags that capture condition data
Logger Tag also captures condition data in a reusable hard tag with additional sensors and offline storage for coverage gaps.
Logger Tag
A reusable hard Tag with a service lifetime measured in years. Captures location, temperature, humidity and other data. Stores readings through coverage gaps and syncs on return to coverage.

FAQ
-
What is the Blecon Sensing Tag?
The Blecon Sensing Tag is a BLE label that captures location and temperature and streams both to Blecon Track in real time. The Smart Label is the form factor, ultra-thin, peel-to-activate and sized for single-journey shipments. It travels with the shipment from origin to delivery, broadcasts data through the journey and is disposed with the packaging at the destination.
-
How do you deploy the Smart Label?
Peel the backing and apply the label to the shipment. The Smart Label activates on peeling and begins broadcasting location and temperature to Blecon Track. Labels ship on fan-fold rolls for high-volume application lines and bond to packaging, cartons, crates and palletised loads. Activation happens at the moment of peeling, with the label ready to track as soon as it's applied.
-
What is the Smart Label's lifetime?
The Smart Label has a 30-day service lifetime, sized for single-journey shipments from origin to delivery. Shelf life before activation is 12 months, so labels can be ordered in batches and held in stock. The label is disposed with the packaging at the shipment's destination.
-
Is the Smart Label safe for air transport?
Yes. The Smart Label uses a Zinc-based battery (not lithium), which makes it suitable for air freight without the handling restrictions that apply to lithium-battery devices. This suits international pharma logistics, time-critical air-shipped goods and cross-border supply chains where lithium battery shipping rules create operational friction.
-
What kinds of shipments suit the Smart Label?
Single-journey shipments where temperature data needs to travel with the consignment from origin to delivery. Common applications include cold chain perishables across ambient, chilled and frozen ranges, pharma and medical supplies, vaccine logistics and high-value goods moving through air freight or one-way logistics flows. The Smart Label is suited to operations that ship in volume, where each consignment carries its own monitoring Tag.
