Smartetiketit

Smartetiketit, also known as smart labels or intelligent labels, are advanced labeling solutions that incorporate electronic functionality. Unlike traditional passive labels, smartetiketit can store and transmit information, enabling dynamic data exchange. They typically consist of a microchip and an antenna, often printed onto a flexible substrate. This combination allows them to be read wirelessly by dedicated readers or even smartphones equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.

The primary function of smartetiketit is to provide more detailed and up-to-date information than standard barcodes or QR codes. This can include product authenticity, manufacturing details, expiry dates, temperature history, and even personalized content for the end-user. The data stored on the chip can be updated, making them suitable for tracking goods through complex supply chains or for managing inventory in real-time. Applications span various industries, from retail and logistics to healthcare and pharmaceuticals, where traceability and data integrity are crucial. The increasing integration of IoT (Internet of Things) devices further propels the adoption of smartetiketit, as they can act as simple yet effective data nodes within larger interconnected systems.
