Frequently Asked Questions
What are BLE smart labels and how do they work?
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) smart labels are intelligent tags that contain a small chip powered by a battery or energy-harvesting system. Unlike traditional RFID labels that require a reader to initiate communication, BLE labels actively broadcast data every few seconds. This means they can transmit a unique ID, real-time temperature, humidity, location, or other sensor data to nearby gateways or mobile devices without being scanned. Identiv’s BLE smart labels are purpose-built for applications where continuous, real-time visibility matters — cold chain monitoring, pharmaceutical tracking, logistics, and industrial asset management.
What is the read range of Identiv BLE smart labels?
Identiv’s BLE smart labels typically broadcast at ranges of 10 to 100 meters depending on the environment, antenna configuration, and gateway placement. In open warehouse environments with optimally placed gateways, coverage can extend further. Because BLE labels broadcast continuously, they don’t require line-of-sight or proximity scanning — any gateway within range will receive the signal, enabling real-time location and condition data across large operational areas.
How are BLE smart labels different from RFID tags?
The core difference is active versus passive communication. Traditional RFID tags are passive — they only respond when a reader sends energy to activate them, which requires close proximity or line-of-sight. BLE smart labels actively broadcast data at regular intervals without needing a reader to initiate communication. This makes BLE ideal for continuous real-time monitoring of assets in motion, cold chain environments, or large storage facilities. RFID remains the preferred choice for high-volume checkpoint reads at fixed locations. Many Identiv solutions combine both technologies based on the specific use case.
Can Identiv BLE labels monitor temperature and humidity?
Yes. Identiv’s BLE smart labels can integrate sensor capabilities to monitor environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, light exposure, shock, and motion. The label captures readings at configurable intervals and transmits them to gateways or mobile devices in real time. This makes them particularly valuable for pharmaceutical cold chain compliance, fresh food logistics, and any application where maintaining environmental conditions is critical to product quality or regulatory requirements.
What industries use Identiv BLE smart labels?
Identiv’s BLE smart labels are deployed across pharma and healthcare (drug tracking, cold chain compliance, clinical trials), logistics and supply chain (real-time asset visibility, temperature monitoring), retail and consumer goods (smart packaging, anti-counterfeiting), and industrial IoT applications (equipment monitoring, reusable container tracking). The IFCO partnership — an exclusive multi-year agreement to supply BLE labels for reusable packaging in fresh food logistics — is a significant example of BLE at industrial scale.
What is the battery life of Identiv BLE smart labels?
Battery life varies depending on broadcast frequency, sensor usage, and environmental conditions. Identiv engineers BLE labels for the specific requirements of each application — labels designed for cold chain monitoring with frequent temperature broadcasts have different battery profiles than labels used for periodic location pings.
