The IPICO solution

How packaging becomes intelligent, according to Gorgi, depends on whether it is primary or secondary (shipping level) packaging. For example, he says primary packaging could be identified with a 2D matrix code or an RFID tag. But the IPICO solution, called iTacs, allows for a combination of identifiers to be used with a system backbone that is used to collate the pieces of information along the supply chain. “This ‘data’ gives the authenticity and intelligence,” he says.
