Americas: Alliance funds company US$350K to create smart labels

The FlexTech Alliance has given US$350,000 worth of funding to Thinfilm Electronics to create smart labels featuring next-generation sensors and near field communications capabilities.

Through the project, Thinfilm plans to extend the scope and versatility of its proprietary technology and smart label platform, while maintaining alignment with established processes for high-volume label manufacturing.

FlexTech Alliance is an industry association focused on growth, profitability, and success throughout the manufacturing and distribution chain of flexible, printed electronics.

Its research and development program supports development of a manufacturing supply chain.

The thin, flexible smart labels produced by Thinfilm as a result of this project will incorporate one or more sensors that dynamically detect, measure, and report on a range of environmental phenomena.
