| abstract |
A low-cost, multi-function adhesive tape platform (12) with a form factor that unobtrusively integrates one or more transducers (94) and one or more wireless communication devices (82, 86) in an adhesive product system. In an aspect, the adhesive product system integrates transducer (94) and wireless communication components (82, 86) within a flexible adhesive structure in a way that not only provides a cost-effective platform for interconnecting, optimizing, and protecting the constituent components but also maintains the flexibility needed to function as an adhesive product that can be deployed seamlessly and unobtrusively into various applications and workflows, including sensing, notification, security, and object tracking applications, and asset management workflows such as manufacturing, storage, shipping, delivery, and other logistics associated with moving products and other physical objects. |
