With the smart packaging prototype of a "counting folding carton", the August Faller Group (Waldkirch, Germany) has designed an innovative packaging solution that can improve compliance and make it easier for patients to handle their medicines. The intelligent, interactive medicine packaging is equipped with a small e-paper display and electronic controls (buttons). With the development of smart packaging, the specialist for secondary packaging materials for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is taking account of the ongoing digitalisation in the e-health market and the growing interest in interactive packaging solutions.
SmartKem from the UK, a leader in the design, synthesis and supply of high performance organic semiconductors for electronic displays, has launched its innovative ‘Technology For Life’ campaign.
OLEDWorks, a leading manufacturer of OLED lighting panels, and BASF’s Coatings division (both from Germany) joined forces to develop the world’s brightest bendable OLED panels. The new product range named “Brite 3” enables an improved efficacy while still having the superb colour rendering and high brightness option. In addition to the new bendable version, completely new application spaces will be possible for luminaire makers and lighting designers. The Brite 3 portfolio, including a new round shape and the bendable version, have been introduced at the 2018 Light + Building exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany.
