Varcode’s solution relies on “smart barcode” tags that dynamically change based on customized time and temperature parameters. The labels use a combination of precisely tuned chemicals and a uniquely printed layer to capture temperature variances when and where they occur and create a permanent, irreversible digital record accessed by Varcode’s proprietary smartphone app. Varcode’s Smart tags are operationally easy to implement and are cost effective enough to be used at the unit level. Varcode’s digital records are cloud based and accessible from the point of processing through customer delivery.

About Varcode™
The name Varcode is short for variable barcode. Varcode is the developer of patented technology to enable scannable barcode labels to dynamically change based on prescribed time and temperature threshold conditions. These Smart Tags can be placed at the unit level and be scanned via any fixed or handheld scanner, smartphone, or tablet to capture location and time sensitive temperature data which are then uploaded to Varcode’s cloud-based, blockchain-enabled management system. The system provides real-time alerts via SMS and email to stakeholders as well as providing comprehensive track and trace provenance for temperature sensitive products such as perishable food and pharmaceuticals for safety, compliance and sustainability purposes.
