Position paper on the potential use of RFIDs in packaging material in the “Modernisation of the Food Industry through Industry 4.0 and Digitisation initiative”

The mission of GLOPACK (Granting society with LOw environmental impact innovative PACKaging) project is to investigate food packaging with no environmental footprint and the ability to extend the shelf life of food products.

One of the areas the project is focusing on is RFID enabled wireless food spoilage indicators linked to food date labels. This paper aims to describe and study the opportunities for RFID application in this regard.
