The RFID seal (Radio Frequency Identification) or E-Seal (electronic seal) device that transmits container information as it passes a reader device and stops working if the container has been tampered with or damaged.
The e-seal combines physical protection with an RFID sensor that can monitor for tampering to ensure the integrity and control the position of containers shipped around the world. The device complies with ISO 17712:2013 required standards of Indian customs.
The e-seal, also known as an electronic seal or RFID seal, comes in various types including active, passive, and semi-active. The passive e-seal operates without a battery.
It can substitute for traditional seals often applied to gas, oil, trucks, and containers, preventing goods from being stolen by thieves and enabling customers to build security systems. It provides automatic identification and helps manage trucks or containers.
Many customs agencies use it to implement certification systems of authorized economic operators (AEO) and enhance the efficiency of customs clearance.
