| In this presentation, we will talk about the technology that makes authentication possible via enhanced packaging solutions. Providing public features that attract attention through strong 3D and movement effects, integrated with QR codes, companies can provide a secure, attractive and engaging entry point to their brand’s values and the product’s authenticity. The combination of overt and secure features with easy-to-use authentication tools like QR codes can be responsive to this authentication need and deliver the authenticity customers deserve. |

Battery-free tags and the power of the cloud and AI are bringing the Internet of Things to billions of connected packages. Grocery, postal, healthcare and defense are all markets that are leading this adoption. Meanwhile there are a new set of standards being developed that will grow ambient IoT to trillions of connected things. Hear about the latest ambient standards coming to 802.11, 5G and 6G. These ecosystems bring with them a formidable set of new vendors, functionality and marketing dollars. In this presentation we share the state of the union of the ambient IoT market, the applications and benefits, the new standards that are coming and what this is likely to mean to us as users and vendors of smart packaging. |

| The topic is focused on new consumer expectations and opportunities which connected packaging opens up for brands and consumers. It will touch on 2-way engagement, traceability, sustainability/circular economy, and of course - trust (authenticity, verifiability, supply chain integrity). |
| Organizations in sensitive industries, such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals, are further turning to RFID and NFC technology to add new packaging features to their products in order to facilitate digital transformation. We want to review today’s state-of-the-art solutions and take a look at new possibilities with conductive and capacitive status detection. |
| High level overview of the problem of food waste globally and the technologies that could serve to make an impact. |
Packaging is becoming increasingly smart as a vital element of a complete product. In addition to packaging and protection functions, it is expected to enable anti-counterfeiting, traceability, and enhanced interaction as a tool connecting the real and digital worlds, endowing products with even more value.
But how do you make your packaging smart and connected?
TOPPAN will showcase how packaging and packaging component manufacturers can integrate NFC to their products with the real examples from spirits, cosmetics, high-grade tea, and pharmaceuticals.

Automated grocery store – hype around camera vision has started cool down and grocery retailers expectations are on efficiency and operational reliability. Improving only checkout process is not sufficient, and groceries need to be able to transform and renew their operational models (product management, order management, offer management, etc). Blockstore solution with sensors, camera vision and item level traceability in products and in their packages provide opportunities to modernize the way grocery retailer manage the supply chain and store operations. Fully digitalized, and real time supply chain provides multiple benefits and for example enables best before date tracking to bring tremendous opportunities in food waste reduction.
