ENVIRONMENT MONITORING AND RECORDING TAG WITH REMOTE SENSINGCAPABILITY

摘要

A tag for sensing environment conditions in a package may be located within the package or external thereto, and is encased within a food or pharmaceutical grade material such that the tag is hermetically sealed within the material and wi ll not be affected by the environmental conditions to which it will be subjected. The sensor affiliated with the tag can also be located at an end of a conductor or prob e that also is hermetically sealed to the material encasing the tag itself. The sensor, remotely located with respect to the tag, may be located within the package being monitored, while the tag itself is located external to the package. The probe may be formed of stainless steel with the sensor being mounted within the tip of the probe to facilitate penetration of the probe into the package.
