Mission

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" - Leonardo da Vinci


Our goal is to simplify the design and manufacture of embedded electronics systems to create solutions tailored to your specific needs. Sustainable manufacturing is key to this approach. By using ecological materials and processes wherever possible, and focusing on robust and resilient technologies that are “just right” for their purpose, we reduce e-waste and the environmental impact of electronics manufacturing. Thanks to advances in functional nanomaterials and printed electronics, we effectively achieve performance targets that previously required costly, wasteful, and environmentally harmful processes, materials, and tools.

Today’s over-engineered metal, plastic, and epoxy packaging is responsible for much of the generated e-waste. Our company favors minimalist packaging made from ecological and biodegradable materials. We dynamically adapt modern technologies to the constantly changing needs of consumers, driving innovation to meet the needs of tomorrow. By integrating printing processes of multiple components into whole printed systems, we lower manufacturing costs, improve yields and lessen the environmental impact of our products while simultaneously creating value by reaching higher on the value chain.

Projects

One of the problems facing the industry today is traceability and product safety. We care about the right conditions for the storage of perishable products, in which the storage time and temperature of open packaging play a particularly important role. We want to know what is happening with the product from its inception to its final stage – disposal.

Traditional solutions are too expensive and create too much hazardous waste.

Our solution alleviates both of these problems.

Smart  Labels

Western Europe’s smart labels market is expected to become a US$ 4.0 BN industry by 2030. The global smart labels market is forecasted to register a dexterous CAGR of ~13%, expanding more than threefold across the 2020–2030 forecasted period.

 The challenge we face is:

Traceability and product safety

  • Proper storage conditions for perishable products 
  •  Storage times of open packaging 
  •  Storage temperature
Trace the supply chain from origin to disposal

  • Product authentication 
  • Supply Chain Logistics 
  • Consumers’ right to know about the correct use and disposal of products 
  • Traditional solutions based on ordinary electronics are too expensive and consequently create a lot of hazardous waste

Smart Labels

in the food industry  

– a better way for origin tracking, product safety and proper storage

We currently waste billions of tons of food every year. Smart labels will reduce this by keeping track of the freshness of a given product and ensuring the visibility of this information for consumers. Both ordinary consumers and the entire food and logistics industry will be able to use this information to measure product freshness as it travels down the supply chain.

This information will help identify where the inefficiencies causing spoilage are occurring and what can be done to optimize these processes. Consequently, we will contribute to a considerable reduction of the industry’s negative environmental impact.

 
The benefits of intelligent labeling in the food industry

For many years we have been using barcodes listing a range of numbers and letters. Today, smart labels contain substantially more information. They can include the product’s origin and every subsequent step of the food journey from the farm to your fork. Additional information on the smart label may provide detailed product information and a log of the storage conditions that may affect product quality and freshness, which is a key aspect for the consumer.
Having access to the full product path, we can easily locate potential food contamination, so that only damaged products are targeted for recall, as opposed to the traditional approach of recalling the entire product range. This could potentially save millions for food producers by demonstrating the return on investment in smart labeling.
