Pascal Tags:
Barcode and RFID Killer

We are a Barcode
Killer because...

Durability

Last as long as a product no matter the environment

2
Ease of Use

No hand scanning

3
Serialization

We serialize for the life of the product, not the sku or type of product.

We are a RFID/Bluetooth
Killer because we are... 

4
Cost-effective

Last as long as a product no matter the environment

5
Longevity

Without electronics, there is no limit of the life until the product it is on breaks or is destroyed

6
Size

As the tags are completely printed, the size can vary and go on any product.

One of the largest spirit and wine companies in the world. Brown-Forman has been around for 150 years and owns brands like Jack Daniels and Woodford reserve.

The Use Case

  • Serializing bourbon barrels and obtaining data across the entire supply chain. Barcode was originally used and it was 70% durable due to hostile environment + life of a bourbon barrel.
  • Durability: With each barrel having 100+ proof of alcohol and often leaking, modern labels (Barcode) fail to survive.
  • Longevity: With most barrel processes lasting 4-5 years at a minimum, tags able to serialize the barrels need to last that long. This is hard to do for modern electronic tags (RFID, NFC).

The Solution

  • Pascal Tags were used on bourbon barrels to enable data at every single point of the supply chain.
  • Detectors were able to remove the need of hand-scanners and provided simple integration with external sensors to add more data to bourbon barrels.
  • The tags were found to be 99%+ in laboratory testing and 99% durable in-field testing on Old Forester Bourbon Barrels.
  • This is magnitudes better than the more expensive Barcode labels previously implemented

One of the largest appliance
manufacturers in the world.

The Use Case

  • Serializing thousands upon thousands of totes and pallets that are re-used for sub-assembly parts. Barcode was the original solution and didn't have enough data, was in-efficient as miss scans were possible, and expensive as a new Barcode was used each time a tote was re-used.
  • Durability: Barcodes require to be scene when read. This puts the Barcodes at risk of environment conditions over time in rough manufacturing environment.
  • Cost: The barcodes are tens of cents per reuse of a tote making the capital expense to scale up extremely costly.

The Solution

  • Pascal Tags were used on totes and pallets with reusability for a single tag.
  • No hand scanners were needed and more feature data was added to the totes as well as the products inside the totes.
  • The tags were able to increase efficiency by removing multiple steps with the reusable tags.
  • The efficiency was increased by giving transparency of the usage of totes for the production of appliances

Value to Customer

4
Cost reduction with less labor intensive process and materials (less tags)
5
Longevity with a single tag doing what 100s of Barcodes would do in a year
7
4X more data is collect per tote enabling better decisions and efficient supply chain.
