By GlobalData“Merging renewable packaging with intelligent, Cloud-based features supports a more effective and profitable business.”
Intelligent packaging integrates the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology which allows the product to be tracked, traced and tamper-proofed throughout the entire supply chain.
The RFID technology also uses a near-field communication (NFC) enabled smartphone to facilitate communication between the brand-owner and the end-user.
Microsoft Western Europe marketing and operations general manager Marc Jalabert said: “Microsoft Azure delivers internet of things services, which Stora Enso is leveraging to better serve their customers and provide fast service development, scalability and global reach.
