Active Bluetooth Low Energy labels offer continuous broadcasting, providing live location data, tamper alerts, and condition monitoring without the need for manual intervention or specialized scanning infrastructure. By adopting this embedded technology, Avery Dennison is bringing to market one of the first printable intelligent labels of its kind to improve visibility in a host of supply chain scenarios.

Engineered to meet industry requirements and standards, the AD Visi product line enhances end-to-end traceability for high-value or sensitive goods, while offering broader applications for sectors needing greater supply chain visibility. The initial product offering, available for order in late 2026, comprises two labels leveraging InPlay's NanoBeacon™ chip technology, engineered for ultra-low power consumption and long-range performance:

• AD Visi Way — Real-Time Location System (RTLS) tracking, providing continuous location data throughout the supply chain journey
• AD Visi Secure — RTLS tracking with an integrated tamper-evidence loop, delivering time and location-stamped responsibility identification for high-value goods

Both products are powered by thin, non-lithium printed batteries and are wireless activated. At less than 1 mm thickness with a flexible construction, they are designed for straightforward application across parcels, pallets and returnable transport items (RTIs). The labels operate across a temperature range of -30°C to +60°C and offer a reading distance of up to 100 meters. A wider product suite is in development and expected to launch in early 2027.
