The CES 2025 tech commerce present is lastly over in Las Vegas, after a grueling six days for me and crowds that numbered 141,000.
As one among 6,000 journalists on the present, I walked round so much to search out the good tech. At or forward of CES 2025, I recorded dozens of press occasions, interviews, and periods. My conclusion? The robots are coming. And I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords. OK, possibly only a few of them.
This yr, I walked 46.79 miles, or 105,433 steps, over 5.5 days. Final yr, I walked 46.78 miles, or 105,407 steps, over six days in contrast with 38.81 miles (or 87,447 steps) in 2023. My toes harm however I managed to keep away from the convention crud — and COVID.
I wrote 65 tales (67 final yr) forward of and through CES and I moderated one panel on AI and gaming. I’ve much more tales to jot down primarily based on interviews I did on the present. This story is concerning the coolest tech I noticed in Las Vegas. In case you had some FOMO from not going to the present, possibly this listing of 13 objects will make it easier to really feel higher.
CES Unveiled 2025 occasion. There have been instances it was not really easy to dive in.
As I stated going into the present, I felt like this was an magical yr for brand new know-how, triggered by the present of generative AI. That was so obvious within the opening keynote about AI by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, although he acknowledged in a Q&A that he might need communicated the massive image message higher.
Now it’s time to investigate and make some sense of this. I hope you want these concepts, whether or not they’re ideas or completed merchandise.

In case your package deal goes off beam or is stolen by somebody, you’ll be capable to determine that out as properly and report the theft. This may not result in you getting the package deal again. Nevertheless it would possibly offer you extra confidence in the entire delivery system.
Brian Krejcarek, founding father of Reelables, stated in a message to GamesBeat that these good labels appear to be atypical UPS or FedEx labels, however hook up with mobile networks to dwell observe packages and cargo with actual GPS location knowledge, impartial of the delivery carriers. They don’t depend upon cumbersome and error-prone barcode scanning by supply drivers or warehouse staff, he stated.
Reelables lets you embed paper-thin electronics to trace packages around the globe as they journey.
“This is a game-changer because this new category of smart labels doesn’t require the installation of expensive RFID readers or infrastructure,” Krejcarek stated. “The range of typical passive RFID labels is only 10-15 feet or less. The range of Reelables active beaconing labels is similar to a mobile phone, connecting to cell towers miles away. Or, in the case of Reelables Bluetooth labels, the range of several hundred feet. That means they’re capable of doing an inventory audit of an entire warehouse every ten seconds.”
He stated GPS monitoring gadgets have been round for awhile, however for the primary time, the shape issue of an precise label and value permits mass deployments to trace nearly every part, not simply excessive worth items. The label is lower than 0.5 millimeters thick and printable in off-the-shelf barcode printers. Meaning no new workflows or coaching is required. Merely print, stick, and ship as corporations already do immediately, Krejcarek stated.
Reelables has developed the know-how and manufacturing functionality in-house to make these lively good labels like tape, with airplane-safe, coated zinc batteries at mass scale, and are in manufacturing immediately. Versus lithium battery primarily based gadgets, Reelables labels are airplane protected, non-dangerous items and uniquely labeled by the US Customs and Border management as packaging supplies, he stated.
Reelables enables you to observe our packages utilizing paper-based electronics.
No return logistics are required. As proven in a examine by Westrock and Western Michigan College’s, Paper Pilot Plant, the labels are disposable in atypical waste streams on corrugated paper and don’t require e-waste processing, Krejcarek stated.
Solely now does the widespread 5G Web of Issues mobile infrastructure exist (reminiscent of NB-IoT from AT&T and Vodafone) together with the thin-film printed electronics know-how that allows this printability, recyclability, and shortly, sub $10 value level, together with the label, connectivity, and monitoring service, Krejcarek stated.
Reelables doesn’t use Thinfilm or the UK’s Pragmatic, because it doesn’t want the flexibleness because the chips it makes use of are so small. Reelables found out as an alternative use mainstream silicon-based wafer die for the RF chipsets, bonding on to the substrate with an epoxy, on absolutely reel-to-reel course of with no soldering.
