Sony and Sensos Partner to Revolutionize Smart Labels with Ultra-Low Power Modem

We have developed a cutting-edge smart label solution that addresses industry challenges and delivers superior performance across various applications. 

29 August 2024

At Sensos, we are committed to advancing smart label technology to provide our customers with enhanced visibility and operational efficiency. In collaboration with Sony Semiconductors, we have developed a cutting-edge smart label solution that addresses industry challenges and delivers superior performance across various applications. 

Transforming Businesses with Smart Labels 

Smart labels are revolutionizing business operations by offering real-time insights and control in four critical areas: traceability, condition monitoring, inventory management, and usage analytics. These capabilities not only improve estimated time of arrival (ETA) accuracy and enhance security but also help resolve gray market issues, support Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, ensure product safety, prevent damage, and optimize freshness. Additionally, they enable automated inventory management, streamline processes, and provide valuable data-driven insights into customer behavior. 

Overcoming the Challenges of Traditional Cellular Chipsets 

Traditional cellular chipsets lacked the power efficiency necessary to create a compact, effective tracking label. This limitation led to bulky trackers that were difficult to stack, couldn’t be placed outside parcels, and were not approved for flights, all of which hindered usability and efficiency. 

Our Solution: Ultra-Compact, Power-Efficient Smart Labels 

In partnership with Sony Semiconductors, Sensos has developed a state-of-the-art smart label solution that is both compact and power-efficient. By integrating Sony’s ALT1250 chipset—an ultra-low power, ultra-small, highly secure, and fully integrated cellular LTE-Mand NB-IoT solution—we’ve achieved: 

Compact Design:

Our ultra-compact smart labels are designed for seamless integration with various goods, eliminating the bulk and complexity of traditional trackers. 

Power Efficiency:

The ALT1250 chipset’s ultra-low power consumption ensures extended battery life, making our labels ideal for long-term use. 

Comprehensive Integration:

The ALT1250 modem combines iSIM, GPS, and dual-mode LTE-M & NB-IoT protocols in a single chipset for advanced location tracking and connectivity capabilities. This modem also supports all frequency bands with a single hardware design (OneSKU) that further simplifies global deployment, providing robust functionality in a small package. 

Enhanced Usability:

Our smart labels can be easily placed outside parcels and are compliant with flight regulations, overcoming the limitations of previous technologies. 

Delivering Advanced Capabilities for Evolving Supply Chains 

By harnessing Sony’s advanced technology, Sensos has developed a smart label solution that meets the dynamic needs of modern supply chains. Our collaboration with Sony enables us to offer a reliable, efficient, and versatile smart label tracker that enhances traceability, condition monitoring, inventory management, and usage analytics across a range of industries. 

Explore the future of smart labels with Sensos and Sony and experience the innovation that delivers unprecedented value and performance to your business.
