A joint initiative between Thin Film Electronics ASA (Thinfilm) and Jones Packaging Inc. has enabled the automated application of Thinfilm’s NFC OpenSense tags to paperboard pharma packaging on a Jones high-speed production line at the company’s primary converting facility in London, Ontario, Canada.
 
The customized Jones production line can apply and read up to 15,000 tags per hour. Thinfilm’s “Tag Talks First” protocol is a key feature of the OpenSense tag and enables a read-speed that is up to 20 times faster than conventional NFC solutions.
 
Jones and Thinfilm are engaging leading global pharmaceutical companies to integrate the smart technology into product packaging and deliver the solution to market. The ongoing collaboration between the partners will also include the integration of ferrite shields with the OpenSense tags, which will enable the NFC technology to function on metalized packaging such as blisters commonly used for cold/flu medication.
