LISLE, IL, June 30, 2025 – Molex has launched TrackLabel BLE Printable Asset Labels designed to provide location tracking data to supply chain operations. These labels integrate BLE beacon technology with an ultra-thin, flexible material that can be applied to assets, containers, or products. The system enables continuous tracking of goods in transit, supporting operational efficiency, improving security, and enhancing supply chain visibility by helping to minimize risks related to loss, theft, or misplacement.
“With TrackLabel, Molex leverages decades of expertise in flexible printed-circuit solutions, wireless connectivity, sensors and thin-film batteries to help customers optimize critical logistics and operational workflows,” said Dave Atkinson, VP and GM, industrial solutions, Molex. “The opportunity to provide real-time status updates on the location and condition of critical assets empowers shippers to quickly follow chain-of-custody, ensure product integrity and meet regulatory compliance requirements.”
Industry-Leading Form, Fit and Function
BLE label technology allows for longer read distances, lowers infrastructure costs and improves data transmission. Molex’s TrackLabel stands out among new BLE labels with its extra-thin design less than one millimeter and a patent-pending activation feature. Users can peel and stick the label to any object, which then activates the battery from sleep mode.
TrackLabel integrates with BLE technology that works with BLE setups, including gateways or smartphones. It supports a 100-meter read range for tracking both nearby and distant items. TrackLabel also includes tools for monitoring storage conditions, so you can control temperature, humidity or other factors when moving or storing sensitive or expensive goods.
Transforming Product Monitoring and Supply Chain Management
Tracking temperature, humidity and ambient light helps keep perishable items fresh. This is imperative in food, beverage and pharmaceutical supply chains. The same asset tracking tools can also improve how other industries track goods and manage their supply chains. Car makers, automation firms, healthcare providers, manufacturers and telecom companies can all benefit from better monitoring and visibility.
TrackLabel uses a disposable non-lithium-based battery and meets air-shipment regulations, along with along with international standards for global deployment. Its slim design fits standard label printers, and it can feature custom graphics or logos if needed. Thanks to Molex’s manufacturing and engineering support, customers can choose TrackLabel materials, shapes, sizes or sensors to get customized in different applications.
