It’s Elementary

iTacs makes a package intelligent by having an RFID tag applied to the packaging during manufacture. “This can be hidden for corrugated packaging and therefore protected both physically and mechanically,” says Gorgi. He explains that doing this gives the box a “birth certificate” that is unique to that box and cannot be duplicated. As the box is used or filled, more data is added to the unique identifier (back end database), allowing full visibility of where the packaging was made and by whom, plus product authentication and logistics authentication. This offers, “full track and trace from product up or shipping level down, either way,” according to Gorgi.
