Samsara Tracking Label: A Paper-Thin Shipment Tracker
The
Samsara Tracking Label, model TL11, is a paper-thin, printable shipping label
that works with Samsara's Shipment Visibility solution. The company describes
it as a way to "Track every shipment in near-real-time," powered by
the Samsara Network. The flexible label measures 2 by 4 inches and is made of
paper, PET and an adhesive-backed layer, so it can be attached to a shipment
like any other shipping label.
How the Tracking Label Works
The label
emits 2.4 GHz advertisements, short radio broadcasts that nearby Samsara
Network gateways detect. A gateway is a device that receives the signal and
passes it on. Location is approximate and based on the GPS location of those
nearby gateways. Built-in flash memory logs data when internet connectivity is
unavailable, and communications are AES-encrypted. Samsara says AI flags
shipment exceptions and pairs the label with cloud features including
developer APIs, a Shipment Center, an AI Assistant, Agent Studio and
automations.
Specifications
The label
measures 102 by 49 by 0.56 mm and weighs under 1 g. It operates between -10°C
and 55°C and carries an IP 61 rating. Its radio output is 2 dBm on the 2.4 GHz
ISM band, a license-exempt radio band. Samsara lists operation in the United
States, Canada, the UK, Mexico and Europe.
