“…In modern days, packages contain more information in a limited space via addition of elements to the package that can be connected to electronic information devices (automatic identification). Automatic identification can aid producers, distributers, retailers, and users in the form of cost and energy savings, new business opportunities, and improved consumer lifestyles . A barcode is a device that works on the principle of optical machine‐readable pictogram attached to an object for automatic identification of the products.…”

The food packaging sector has experienced much development since its inception. In the past few decades, innovations in packaging sector have led to the development of smart packaging (SP) systems that carve a niche in a highly competitive food industry. SP systems have great potential for improving the shelf‐life, and safety of food products apart from their basic roles of protecting the products against unwanted biological, chemical, and physical damage and keeping them clean. Indicators and sensors, SP components, are used for real‐time monitoring of meat quality and subsequently inform the retailers and consumers about the freshness, microbiological, temperature, and shelf life status of the products. Barcodes and radio‐frequency identification tags are employed in meat packaging for real‐time information about the authenticity, and traceability of the products in the supply chain. Recently, innovations in SP technologies resulted in fast, sensitive, and effective detection, sensing, and record keeping of freshness, microbiological, and shelf life status of meat and meat products. The SP system shows promise for extensive utilization in the meat industry in response to the consumer appreciation for safe, and quality meat products, as well as their waste reduction notions. This paper gives an updated overview of ongoing scientific research, and recent technological advances that offer the perspectives of developing smart meat packaging systems that are capable of monitoring the physical, microbial, and chemical changes of the package contents from producer to the point of sale and even beyond, and remediating potential adverse reactions.

“…Increasingly packaging is required to also engage consumers via automatic identification systems and drive links to social networking and infotainment websites to develop an emotional connection with the consumer (Lindqvist et al, 2012). Retailers are the only sector in the supply chain where packaging interacts directly with the consumer, therefore deciding which products will be offered and in which format has a critical influence in the development of environmentally friendly packaging.…”

Although initially the introduction of reusable plastic crates was because off cost savings, their speed of adoption was accelerated by environmental considerations. RPCs having a lower direct impact across a broad range of environmental parameters when compared with than display-ready containers (DRCs)., Also RPCs can have an indirect effect with lower levels of produce waste, further reducing the environment impact of using plastic crates. This paper considers the temperature management challenges with packaging formats used in the fresh produce supply chain. The different scenarios are compared of bagged and loose potatoes in RPCs and DRCs when placed in still and moving air. The temperature changes of the potato flesh showed that with the greater free area of the RPCs there is potential to warm up significantly more quickly than with DRCs. In the first three hours the flesh temperatures for loose potatoes in RPCs increased at almost three times the rate experienced in DRCs. The study found that with RPCs for the temperature rise in the first hour in air at 0.1 m/s was fifteen times as great as in still air, but with the adoption of a single plastic film wrap of 25 micron polythene it was reducing the temperature rise by 69%. The adoption of RPCs throughout the supply chain has had many advantages but these trials highlight the potential issues with temperature and quality management, However the study underline the dangers of changing packaging formats without paying due consideration to the temperature and airflow variables inherent in each packaging format.

The Use of Radio Frequency Identification Technology in Packaging Systems: Experimental Research on Traceability

et al. 2013

Traditionally, the traceability system is performed through the asynchronous fulfilment of checkpoints (i.e. doorways) by materials. In such cases, the tracking is manual, executed by operators that manually trace the path. Often, companies are not aware of the inefficiencies because of these traceability systems such as low precision and accuracy in measurements (i.e. no information between doorways), more time spent by operators and costs (due to the full effort of operators who have to search for the good positions and movements). In order to overcome these limitations, automatic identification procedures have been introduced in many service industries, purchasing and distribution logistics, manufacturing companies and material flow systems. Automatic identification procedures can also be applied to the packaging of products, instead of to each item contained in the package. Sometimes, products are very expensive, and packages contain important and critical goods (e.g. dangerous or explosive materials); thus, the tracking of goods – and packages in particular – is a critical function. In order to analyse the traceability of the packaging system, the authors have developed an innovative system based on Radio Frequency IDentification-Ultra Wide Band (RFID-UWB) technology. A prototype of this system has been realized and used for an experimental research that has consisted of several tests (static and dynamic), tracing the position (static) and movements (dynamic) of products and in particular packages in indoor environments, in continuous and in real time.
