The unique tag is based on MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) technology and contains no electronics.
The tag can either be embedded or manufactured into a storage product such as vials or bags.
Easy identification, amongst other information, can be detected by the reader which can also sense the temperature of the tagged items.
