Intelligent sensors for product diagnosis and authenticity
Paper Beacon is a high risk project with an equally high potential when it comes to delivering unique and novel features based on renewable materials. It is supported by industry and Vinnova within BFP (Branschforskningsprogrammet).
Aims and objectives
This project investigates a unique technology based on interference films that has the potential to address visual appearance, sensor, and security concerns for packaging and products.
Impact and results
In order to compete in today´s markets, paper and packaging producers must seek out the best possible solutions to address current needs from both their businesses and their customers. Demands exist for intelligent sensors that address product diagnosis and authenticity. In addition, packages that are attention-grabbing at the point of purchase give the producer an advantage, so new visual appearance is also required.
Implementation of plan and methodology
We will model, design, and prepare integrated interference films for two proof-of-concepts. By considering renewable sources, product safety and recyclability, the project supports a sustainable society. In all, 7 partners and selected end users will carry out the work and exploit the results of this 2-year project.
