ST-Octopus RFID Cable eSeal Tag
ST-Octopus RFID Cable eSeal Tag
RAIN RFID electronic seal with unique serial number. Can be automatically detected when trucks/trailers/containers are on the go at gateways by using RFID gates: this makes gate in/gate out operations faster, more reliable, and more secure.
The Seal is available in a tamper-evident version: the status of the seal (TAMPERED/NOT TAMPERED) is immediately detected and read at the time of passing through the gate or by manual inspection.
ST-Octopus RFID Cable Seal Tag combines the mechanical security of standard seals with the electronic security offered by RFID.
The outer shock-proof polystyrene plastic housing of the seal – customizable with marks and numbering on request—embeds a unique electronic chip that has its own unique code, which cannot be replicated. This allows for secure and reliable automatic identification of the seal applied to containers.
