Molex Introduces TrackLabel BLE Printable Asset Labels with Real-Time Location Sensing

Molex, a global electronics leader and connectivity innovator, introduced TrackLabel BLE Printable Asset Labels that provide real-time location tracking data to improve operational efficiency, security and visibility across global supply chains. This innovative smart label platform integrates BLE beacon technology and ultra-thin, flexible material that adheres easily to assets, containers or products for continuous and accurate reporting on in-transit goods to help reduce the risk of loss, theft or misplacement.

Molex’s TrackLabel BLE Printable Asset Labels enhance supply chain visibility and streamline operations by delivering real-time location sensing for diverse industrial applications.

Unlike traditional RFID labels, BLE label technology offers superior read range, decreased infrastructure costs and increased data transmission capabilities. Among emerging BLE label market entrants, Molex's TrackLabel combines the thinnest form factor, measuring less than one millimeter thick, with a patent-pending activation mechanism that raises the bar on fast and easy implementation. Users simply peel and stick the flexible label on any asset, which then automatically activates the battery from sleep mode for optimal battery utilization.

The active BLE technology in TrackLabel automatically integrates with existing BLE infrastructure, including gateways or smartphones, to enable reliable connectivity with a 100-meter read range for both short- and long-range asset tracking. Moreover, TrackLabel supports environmental monitoring capabilities to provide valuable data for sensitive or high-value items, providing precise control over the conditions in which assets are stored and transported.
