Warranty Assured™ labels from Intellareturn:

• add electric or electronic sensors and sensor cards
• attach to or are embedded in labels or packaging
• monitor and report temperature or environmental conditions during shipment
• provide a warranty of freshness or merchantability.

Intellareturn, a leading RFID solution provider, enables sensor tags to reduce spoilage and damage by monitoring the temperature and humidity of military and commercial courier shipments, including aircraft engines, ammunition, medical supplies, food items and other perishables vulnerable to environmental conditions as they move through the supply chain. When incorporating the tags, users can set acceptable temperature and humidity ranges tailored to the characteristics of the particular goods to be monitored.

Printed RFID Tags: Important Role in Smart Packaging Warranty Terms
According to a new report from NanoMarkets, smart packaging will consume $1.1 billion in printable RFID tags by the year 2011. By this point, the global smart-packaging market will reach $4.8 billion. Intellareturn focuses Warranty Assured applications on the fresh produce, blood and plasmas, pharmaceutical and sensitive electronic components markets.

Intellareturn RFID tags and temperature indicators printed into the labels of pharmaceutical products could be used to authenticate bottles and monitor whether temperature-sensitive drugs have spoiled during transport or otherwise go beyond terms of express or implied warranty terms. Intellareturn provides patented solutions for RFID tags to be integrated into packaging or express courier shipping boxes to offer a more affordable alternative to applying RFID labels onto finished packaging.
