Connectivity

The pressure is on businessesmore than ever to providereal-time, personalisedexperiences that reachconsumers just as they needthem.

As an everyday ubiquitous item, packaging is the ideal vehicle to incorporate new digital technologies that allow brands to better connect with, and understand more about, their valued customers.


Trends


Rise of the Machine

35% of leading organisations in logistics, health, utilities and resources are forecast to explore the use of robots to automate operations by 2019*

New World Growth


Polarisation between the old and new world has never been greater

Printed Electronics


The global anti-counterfeit

packaging market is

projected to reach

US$206bn by 2021, at a

CAGR of 14.0 per cent, with

most of the growth coming

from the Asia Pacific region.

Two products are never identical

• A covert method of integrating anti-counterfeiting security to packaging at item level

• Creates a ‘material code’ or unique fingerprint for each and every pack

• Combines an inline vision system with highly secure algorithm technologies to create the material code

• Smartphone enabled ‘scan to verify’

• Commercial technology applied to millions of packaging items worldwide


Real-Time Cold Chain Monitoring

Real-Time Cold Chain Monitoring


What is the innovation?

A science based approach to optimising temperature control within the supply chain

• Customised modelling and data to avoid guess work

• Tailored approach and evaluation of specific supply chains

• Proven results

• Category changing innovation
