New paper batteries enable affordable, scalable real-time item tracking

Real-time location systems (RTLS) are becoming more scalable and affordable for tracking a wider range of items, including low-cost assets like boxes and parcels. This advancement is driven by the development of new, inexpensive, disposable tags utilizing printed zinc paper batteries. These tags bridge the gap between traditional RTLS and radio-frequency identification (RFID), offering continuous tracking capabilities at a cost point previously only achievable with limited-visibility RFID solutions.
