XgenTag Range: Two Distinct Tags for diverse applications
XgenTag-L: Light-powered, ultra-efficient
XgenTag-L uses an Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) surface to harvest ambient light and power its BLE chip. It functions in lighting conditions ranging from 5 lux (dim ambient light) to 40,000+ lux (direct sunlight), transmitting BLE signals as often as every second in bright conditions. Tags are readable by any smartphone or BLE-compatible reader.
Ideal for:
- Continuous inventory
- Exposed supply chains
- Smart retail
- Asset search and retrieval
- Industrial and logistics flow optimisation
XgenTag: Invisible, yet traceable
XgenTag-R leverages UHF RFID energy harvesting to power its BLE module. It activates when in range (up to 25 metres) of a standard RFID reader, making it the perfect solution for non-visible or enclosed assets.
Ideal for:
- Hidden equipment inventory
- Enclosed medical transport
- Secure storage and logistics
Currently deployed in commercial environments, XgenTag is regulatory approved and ready to scale across various sectors including healthcare, pharma, aviation and industrial applications.
Web app for a smart, open and sustainable solution
Both tags connect to a companion application (APK), which detects BLE signals within a 50+ metre range, filters by type and proximity, and transmits data via MQTT to leading cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or internal systems. The open architecture ensures no vendor lock-in, giving businesses full control over their data strategy. The system architecture is fully open, enabling seamless integration with existing infrastructures without dependence on proprietary platforms.
