Smart labels are now replacing the traditional silicon-based sensors, making the routine processes smarter and empowering the internet of things.

Chicago-based technology scouting company, PreScouter released a report detailing companies providing smart packaging technologies available for commercial use. 

Smart packaging has come a long way – snack food bags can detect drunk drivers and beer bottles can play music – but more brands are investing in smart labels to connect brands and technology.

In addition to the health problems that tainted food can cause consumers, and the damage to the brands’ and retailers’ reputations, a food recall can cost a food company $10 million or more in direct costs, business interruption and lost sales.

This digital solution that will ensure total transparency of quality and food safety, as well as total control of the production process in the industry, and personalized digital marketing actions.
