RF HiTag™

HiTag2™ is a series of wireless RF dataloggers which were designed to provide automated data reporting at an affordable price

The HiTag2™ series of dataloggers are suitable for monitoring all parts of the cold chain: transport vehicles, fixed locations, or items, with results reported automatically.

HiTag2™ loggers are offered in a variety of configurations of sensors, lifespans, measurement intervals, and operating ranges.

HiTag2™ datalogger readings are automatically captured by Xsense® wireless gateways. Each gateway transmits the collected data to the Xsense® cloud platform, where it is processed and made available for monitoring and analysis.

Xsense® gateways are deployed at more than 2,000 major seaports, airports, and other strategic locations worldwide. To confirm gateway availability at a specific site, please contact our support team.

For locations without existing coverage, an Xsense® gateway can be purchased and installed at the customer’s warehouse or facility.

Supported sensors:

  • Ambient temperature
  • Probe temperature
  • Relative humidity
  • Door ajar

Special capabilities for challenging environments

Industrial settings

  • HiTags™ communicate at 433 MHz, facilitating signal penetration through walls and dense materials.
  • If necessary, HiTags™ will form a mesh between each other. This improves connectivity and coverage through and around barriers.
  • Readings will be reported in real-time while connected to a wireless gateway.

Outdoors

  • The mesh building capability of the HiTag™ allows the area of coverage around an Xsense® gateway to be enlarged by up to 2000 feet.
  • Readings will be reported in real-time while connected to a gateway.

Air Transport

  • HiTag™ data loggers transmit RF waves only when requested by the Xsense® Otherwise, the data loggers sit quietly listening for the beacon of the Xsense® gateway.  Hence, the data loggers adhere to the RF requirements of airlines and are eligible for inclusion in air shipments.
  • HiTag™ data loggers utilize alkaline batteries by default, with only a few exceptions.  HiTags™ utilizing alkaline batteries are considered safe for transport on cargo and passenger aircrafts.

Core Measurements and High-Density Product

  • The wireless data loggers operate at a low frequency (433MHz), which helps penetrate barriers, dense product, and water. (The resonant frequency of water is about 2.4 GHz, making WIFI and BLE less than ideal mediums for connectivity around products with a high water content.)
  • HiTags™ may be placed in the center of the loads in order to record and report on core conditions.

Shipping Container

  • Some models of HiTags™ have an external antenna.
  • These HiTags™ can be placed inside of freight containers, with the antenna extended outside the door.
  • This permits sensor readings of the inside of the container to be read by Xsense® while the container remains sealed, such as at ports, or upon arrival at the destination.

Delivery Vehicles

  • When used in combination with Xsense® wireless gateways, HiTag™ can provide real-time readings.
  • Real precise GPS location information can be obtained from the gateway.
