RFID Journal Virtual Event

In Partnership with IoP Journal

Automating supply chains leads to improved operational efficiency and higher profitability. Internet of Packaging (IoP) technologies, such as RFID, barcodes, QR codes and digital printing, have already been understood and adopted, and are now beginning to emerge with new competitive market advantages. Inventory control, authenticity, security and the customer experience are just part of what the IoP has begun to provide. Learn how IoP technologies can provide information that a consumer needs to know before purchasing a particular product, and how they can enhance the customer relationship and reveal data about a wide variety of concerns. Hear how such technologies provide product authenticity, sustainability and powerful consumer experiences, in addition to a measurable return on investment.

Smart Packaging Technologies: RFID, QR Codes and Digital Printing
Smart supply chains are leading to smart packaging opportunities. Information regarding companies’ and products’ sustainability is among the benefits of manufacturer and consumer interaction offered by smart packaging solutions. The precious time during which consumers have a product in their hands, in front of a store display or at their tables, can be converted into more consumption and increased customer experience and satisfaction.
