Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar (IIT Ropar) in Punjab has developed a first-of-its-kind IoT device – AmbiTag.

The device records real-time ambient temperature during the transportation of perishable products, vaccines and even body organs and blood.
That recorded temperature further helps to know whether that particular item transported from anywhere in the world is still usable or perished because of temperature variation.
This information is particularly critical for vaccines including the Covid-19 vaccine, organs and blood transportation.
AmbiTag continuously records the temperature of its immediate surroundings “from -40 to +80 degrees in any time zone for a full 90 days on a single charge.
