XgenTag-L: Battery-Free, Light-Powered BLE Tag for Scalable and Sustainable Traceability

Reading time : 3 min | 10/17/2025

As demand for smart, scalable traceability solutions grows across logistics, industry, and transportation, Paragon ID is paving the way with the XgenTag-L—a next-generation Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tag that’s fully autonomous, battery-free, and powered by ambient light, thanks to Dracula Technologies’ Organic Photovoltaic (OPV)innovation.

100% Energy-Autonomous Tag

The XgenTag-L harvests ambient light—ranging from just 5 lux (dim lighting) to over 40,000 lux (direct sunlight)—to power its BLE chip. In bright conditions, the tag can transmit signals every second, enabling real-time tracking without ever needing a battery.

Best of all, data can be read using any smartphone or BLE-compatible device—eliminating the need for costly or complex infrastructure.

A Smart Fit for:

  • Continuous inventory tracking
  • Exposed supply chains
  • Smart retail environments
  • Asset search and retrieval
  • Industrial and logistics flow optimization

Sustainable. Cost-Efficient. Scalable.

By operating without batteries, the XgenTag-L drastically reduces CO₂ emissions, prevents e-waste, and eliminates the need for critical raw materials such as rare earths and heavy metals.

It’s designed for 10+ years of maintenance-free operation, reducing total cost of ownership by up to 35%—with ROI achieved in as little as 6 months.
