Paragon ID has developed the new generation of XgenTags (XgenTag-R & XgenTag-L) to meet the growing demand for scalable traceability in logistics, industry, and transportation sectors.
These battery-free Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags are powered by ambient light using Dracula Technologies’ organic photovoltaic (OPV) solution, providing full energy autonomy and a maintenance-free lifespan of over 10 years.
XgenTag enables real-time asset tracking—such as parcels, valuable items, carts, or cabin equipment—via a standard mobile app (e.g., Android APK), without the need for costly or complex dedicated infrastructure. Data can be easily accessed using a standard smartphone, reducing system costs by up to 95% and ensuring fast return on investment.
Fully cloud-connected via MQTT and compatible with existing ecosystems, XgenTags deliver a sustainable, regulation-compliant, eco-friendly solution that is easily deployable at scale.
XgenTag eliminates batteries, cutting CO₂ emissions by 60% (0.3g CO₂e/cm2) and drastically reducing e-waste. Its maintenance-free lifespan of over 10 years lowers transport-related emissions and avoids the use of critical resources (no rare earths or heavy metals). Economically, it reduces total cost of ownership by up to 35% by removing battery replacements and infrastructure needs, with ROI achieved in just 6 months. A sustainable, cost-efficient solution ideal for large-scale traceability.
Billion of IoTs will be installed in the coming years and more than half of them will be inside buildings. But with traditional solutions to power these new products, such as batteries, we are faced with many challenges associated: Over 15 Billon of Batteries are thrown away in nature every year. Also, replacing a battery in Smart buildings is a problem, because this basic maintenance must be done by an authorized and qualified person. This means a much higher cost than the battery itself. LAYER presents high profitability for the customers with a low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) thanks to a significant reduction of the maintenance costs of about 80%. Finally, using batteries requires dedicated space to house them in connected objects. All this leads to larger and less discreet products. LAYER was developed, which means Light As Your Energetic Response in order to become a sustainable alternative to batteries.
