Why Intelligent Packaging Is Your Opportunity for Excellence

Event Overview

In this webinar, experts from Antares Vision Group will demonstrate the strategic utilization of intelligent packaging data and how service providers (e.g., packaging materials suppliers and labellers) and brand owners can leverage that data to create value across the ecosystem.

By reviewing current market trends and sharing customer success stories, the presenters will show how actionable product data can drive excellence in today’s vital business areas, including sustainability, regulatory compliance, product safety, brand protection, and consumer loyalty.

The webinar will cover four aspects of intelligent packaging data:

1. How product data connects service providers, brands, and customers through an “ecosystem of value”

2. How service providers can use data as a tool for digital innovation to exceed their customers’ demands and be a better business partner

3. How brand owners, producers, and manufacturers can use data to optimize product integrity, brand value, operational efficiency, and marketing initiatives

4. How a scalable, interoperable software solution expands and improves the intelligent packaging ecosystem of value for all market actors

There will also be a special appearance by Antares Vision Group’s RURALL project, which is digitalizing, modernizing, and optimizing Italy’s entire agri-food sector. By enabling the use of granular data, RURALL’s creating supply chain transparency and sustainability, promoting safer food and helping to increase yields and improve land management.

The webinar will end with a quick poll and Q&A session where attendees can ask our team about intelligent packaging data and the ecosystem of value.

Learning Objectives

1. See how intelligent packaging data connects all market actors through an “ecosystem of value”.

• Service providers (e.g., packaging materials suppliers and labellers) can offer customers digital innovations through intelligent packaging data.
• Brands can gain customer loyalty, comply with regulations, (e.g., sustainability, circularity), and mitigate common risks (e.g., counterfeits, parallel trade).
• Consumers can get the information (e.g., transparency, sustainability) and brand engagement (e.g., digital interactions) they demand.

2. See how service providers fit in the ecosystem of value and how they can use intelligent packaging data to create new business opportunities.

• Intelligent packaging data makes service providers the vital link between brands and their customers.
• By harnessing the potential of intelligent packaging data, service providers can become technology providers and offer digital innovation that can exceed their customers’ demands for:
  ○ Brand engagement  by enabling products to “broadcast” information and be a channel for 1-on-1 consumer engagement.
  ○ Protection  by digitally authenticating products to help mitigate brand risks such as counterfeits, diversion, and parallel trade.
  ○ Meeting consumer demands  for product information and transparency (e.g., sustainability, origin, safety).

3. See how brand owners, producers, and manufacturers fit in the ecosystem of value and how they can use intelligent packaging data to create new business opportunities.
