Abstract

In some embodiments, a seal is provided that includes an adhesive bottom layer, a non-adhesive top layer, and an electronic tag. The electronic tag can be positioned on or in the adhesive bottom layer or non-adhesive top layer or positioned in between the adhesive bottom layer and non-adhesive top layer. The electronic tag can include one or more processors and a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions. The actions can include detecting, at the electronic tag, a physical disturbance of the electronic tag and retrieving, at the electronic tag, stored data from a local memory. The actions can also include, responsive to the detection, facilitating transmission of a signal from the electronic tag that includes the retrieved data from a transmitter of the electronic tag to a device using radio frequency identification (RFID).
