Food packaging becomes obvious or will fully open the smart era

On the afternoon of April 8, the “Creation Wings of China” 2016 Young Entrepreneurship Innovation Contest Nanchong District opened in the “Starting Town” in Jialing District. Although the 18 entries involved various topics, Xiao Bian was inspired by a magical drink. This type of drink, known as "a shake and hot" and "a shake and cool," simply invert the can and press the bottom button, shake it upside down for 1 minute, and open the lid to drink a cool or hot drink. . It is reported that this kind of creative product is realized through the installation of cooling or heating devices on the bottom of the bottle through high-tech physical principles.

It is reported that after research and development personnel survey, this product has a vast market demand. This creative design abandons the packaging design trends followed by current beverage products and enters the era of “smart food”.

Payment intelligence

     In fact, the age of packaging intelligence was already on when people didn't realize it. QR code printed on the package Many people do not know what is near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth low energy (BLE), they have been used in product packaging. This is a brand that realizes that they are facing consumers who are obsessed with the mobile world. Therefore, they try to communicate and establish dialogues with this group of people through mobile interactive technology.

     Some time ago, Apple introduced ApplePay to use Near Field Communication (NFC), Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. As long as the NFC chip is built-in, data transmission and information exchange can be performed between two nearby points without connecting to the network. ApplePay is paid by using a mobile phone near a POS machine embedded with an NFC module.

Heating (cooling) intelligence

     In addition to the gradual intelligent payment, food packaging itself is also integrated into the smart age. Currently, there are a large number of “drone” and “robots” appearing in the society. Although food packaging cannot be used to realize industrial intelligence in this form, it is no longer fresh to transform food packaging bags, bottles, etc. to realize intelligence. Things.

     It is understood that in addition to the above-mentioned "shake on hot" and "shake on cold" beverages, the instant product packaging bag that recently won the 60th annual packaging award highest achievement award also combines smart elements. Its microwaveable design includes a cold touch zone, MagicSteamT technology, and controlled exhaust to eliminate hot or cold spots. And, this is the first portable rice cooking bag that can be self-vented.

Intelligent production

     At present, China's packaging industry has basically achieved mechanized production, and its efficiency and quality have all met the eligibility criteria. However, for "China Made 2025", packaging manufacturers must be willing to invest in the automation, digitization and intelligentization of production and processing technology equipment, and realize intelligent packaging.

     The automatic identification function is the premise for daily efficient production. On the one hand, it can automatically identify the thickness, hardness, rebound force, etc. of the packaging material, and feedback the robot to the robot to adjust the movement range to ensure no rebound. On the other hand, a variety of products, such as chocolates or snacks of various shapes, are packed in the same box. The arrangement is regular. The products delivered by the production line are disordered. The position of the material is fed back to different robots. It will accurately and accurately place the item in the tray in the exact position and direction. It is quick and accurate, eliminating the visual fatigue of the manual operation and the fingers.

With the constant changes in market demand and the timely realization of technology, the intelligent and comprehensive upgrade of the food packaging industry is just around the corner.
