Centred around a sustainable, paper-based biofuel cell/active sensing tag, BeFC’s smart logistics solution is a game changer for asset-management.
As well as geopositioning data; variables relating to light, humidity, shock, temperature and theft can be tracked and traced with full transparency. And it’s not just more environmentally-friendly, it is more cost-effective than battery-driven alternatives.

Powered by the biofuel cell, BeFC’s modular active electronic tag generates real-time data relating to goods in transit:
- Bespoke sensor
- Ultra-low-power
- Reusable
- Lightweight
- Flexible
Transmits data (geopositioning, temperature, light, shock etc.) for analysis via asset management software.
BeFC has developed the world’s first and only paper-based biofuel cell. Its distinctive features include:
- Flexible, ultra-thin and lightweight
- Metal-free energy
- Made from bio-sourced materials
- Safe, non-hazardous
- Significantly reduces recycling /disposal costs
Real-time Asset Monitoring that Goes Beyond Geopositioning
The ability to track additional data (as well as geopositioning parameters) can significantly help companies who ship sensitive products or goods of high value. For example, pharmaceuticals and medical goods can be sensitive to light and temperature, paper can be sensitive to humidity, luxury goods can be particularly sensitive to shocks, whilst in transit. These being but a few of the myriad of practical examples...
Tag, Trace & Monitor in Real Time
Temperature and humidity monitoring is critical to ensure vaccine quality and patient safety, food and beverages, flammables etc.
Identify theft through light sensing or tamper detection /strip rupturing to safeguard luxury and high-value items.
Shock detection for monitoring fragile goods like chemicals, medical equipment, cosmetics, luxury goods etc.
Pinpoint assets’ location & location history; data critical for priority deliveries, sensitive goods, blood bags, waste, etc.
Digital Logistics Solution
Powered by Nature
Inspired By Nature
Our patented paper biofuel cell uses a biochemical reaction to generate electricity. The inspiration for this organic electrochemical process owes its origins to human physiology.
Clean Power Source
It centers on a a clean energy source that uses the power of enzymes to convert oxygen and glucose into electricity.
Paper & Carbon
Predominantly made of paper and carbon,the BeFC cell can be recycled and even composted industrially.
