Swiss Innovator Introduces Sustainable, LoRaWAN®-Enabled Solution for Enhanced Logistics and Asset Tracking
AMSTERDAM & BERNE, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AmbientLight–truvami, a Swiss-based startup supported by Swisscom Broadcast AG, is set to showcase its Smart Label technology at The Things Conference in Amsterdam on September 25–26. This innovative solution leverages LoRaWAN® and organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology to deliver precise indoor and outdoor localization, transforming the logistics and asset tracking landscape.
Revolutionizing Asset Tracking with Smart Labels
truvami’s Smart Label is designed to revolutionize the logistics and asset tracking industry by offering a flexible, easy-to-mount solution that seamlessly integrates with existing supply chains. Unlike traditional labels that require manual scanning, truvami’s Smart Label autonomously transmits location data and other vital information—such as temperature and shock/movement—to a cloud application via wireless communication. This touchless process significantly enhances efficiency across supply chains, internal logistics, manufacturing processes, and asset management within buildings.
Ambient Light Powered Technology
The Smart Label leverages organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology, developed by the French deep-tech company Dracula Technologies, to reduce operational expenses associated with battery charging or replacement. OPV cells printed onto a thin film harvest ambient light from their immediate environment and transform it into energy, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring a sustainable and highly reliable long-lasting power source.
truvami’s labels are crafted from flexible, thin-film materials that resemble traditional paper, barcode, or RFID labels, making them easy to adopt without altering existing workflows. Moreover, the reusable nature of the Smart Labels reduces waste, offering a sustainable alternative to disposable labels currently prevalent in the industry.
Advanced Localization with LoRaWAN®
The LoRaWAN®-based tracker provides accurate localization both indoors and outdoors. Co-developed with the Swiss technology center CSEM, the technology incorporates a particle based RSSI algorithm that achieves location accuracy within several meters using LoRaWAN® beaconing. CSEM, renowned for its expertise in AI-based, robust, secure, and ultra-low-power connected platforms and vision sensing systems, has been instrumental in enhancing the Smart Label’s capabilities.
Collaborative Innovation for the Future of Logistics
The collaboration between CSEM, Dracula Technologies and truvami underscores a commitment to innovative, sustainable solutions in the tech industry. By combining expertise in energy harvesting, wireless communication, and advanced localization algorithms, the Smart Label represents a significant advancement in asset tracking technology.
