New York-based real-time location services (RTLS) company Kontakt.io has introduced Sticker Tag, a thin, adhesive Bluetooth LE tag for tracking small, flat or disposable assets.

Designed for rapid deployment at scale, Sticker Tag offers a wide range of use cases across healthcare and other industries, including tracking mobile phones, tablets, patient charts, logistics pallets and office supplies.

Delivered as a service, Sticker Tag creates foundational data that allow enterprises to gain a real-time view of asset locations and movements, driving loss prevention. The data also feed into an AI-powered platform that turns them into insights and uncovers operational opportunities to cut waste, streamline capacity, improve experiences and generate RoI.

Sticker Tag is playing a role in the healthcare industry’s largest RTLS deployment, in which Kontakt.io has partnered with a large health system. The initiative involves more than 180 facilities, 300 locations, 500,000 assets and 41,000 licensed beds.

“Kontakt.io is a trusted partner for leading health systems and other industries because we consistently invest about 30% of our revenue in product innovation for evolving customer needs,” said Rom Eizenberg, head of product innovation at Kontakt.io. “Our commitment to extracting value from the data our customers create sets Kontakt.io apart.”

Thin and weighing only four grams, including the battery, Sticker Tag fits on daily-use items and small hand-held devices without disrupting the user experience. BLE-connected, the tag comes with RF performance combined with Kontakt.io’s Location Engine. Supported frames include Cisco Spaces, iBeacon, Eddystone and Telemetry.

Sticker Tag (store.kontakt.io/product/sticker-tag) is operational immediately, activated individually with an Android or iOS smartphone via NFC or in a batch at shipping for large-scale deployments. It can enable asset management use cases ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of thousands of assets.

There are three options for battery life: 90 days, one year and 2.2 years. Plus, unlike typical batteries, this battery is built with biodegradable, non-toxic materials.

Kontakt.io optimises processes and resources by revealing how patients move through care delivery. Using AI, IoT and RTLS, it helps healthcare systems uncover waste, streamline capacity and improve workflows. Since 2013, Kontakt.io has provided technology to more than 32,000 end users, delivered via 1200 partners, and deployed four million IoT devices in the field.
