Electronic IoT sticker to track status of objects
2M is developing electronic IoT stickers that turn normal objects into smart objects. These smart electronic IoT stickers collect a number of parameters depending on the exact application. Think of parameters like:
- Temperature
- Movement
- Pressure
- Humidity
- (UV) light exposure.
Indoor tracking of location
Besides status information of an object these sensors also provide key information about indoor localization of objects. No more searching of equipment in hospitals or other large organizations.
Benefit of the toolmanager system is that there is no need to install a complete new and costly IoT system but uses existing mobile devices. Over time these systems can be make smarter and more advanced.

Active, semi-active and fully passive IoT stickers
These electronic IoT stickers can be read out using Bluetooth Low Energy or Near Field Communication (NFC) depending on the exact application.
Applications and markets
The electronic IoT sticker technology can be used for a number of applications. Current focus is on providing solutions for hospitals and care organizations, but the technology can be applied at a much wider scale from tracking of samples, portable devices to stationary objects that require frequent and regular checkups.
