Oli-Tec® Time and Temperature Responsive Labels for Food & Medical Applications

“减少从生产者到零售商到消费者的供应链中的食物浪费是当今的关键需求，因为它对社会经济和环境产生了许多影响。调查显示，消费者经常混淆保质期和保质期。Intray开发了用于食品和医疗应用的创新时间温度指示器（TTI）标签（Oli-Tec）的基础原理证明。Oli-Tec标签使用创新的专利技术来响应时间和温度变化，并通过易于理解的绿-琥珀-红信号机制通知消费者变化。奥利泰克标签的概念证明已经建立使用创新的专利湿介质配方和标签设计。在InnovateUK基金的帮助下，Intray将解决与这项英国创新和专利技术商业化相关的各种技术和生产风险。对于工业合作伙伴来说，与CPI一起参与这个项目，可以利用英国政府在CPI国家配方中心的相关设备和专业知识投资超过9000万英镑。具有特定时间的演示标签的开发将允许Intray向alpha客户进行样品评估和市场试验。该项目将使Intray能够利用相关的英国技能/专业知识，降低开发风险，将这一创新提升到更高的TRL水平。在项目结束时，Intray将能够利用其创新技术，与其商业化合作伙伴OLPL一起将Oli-Tec标签商业化，从英国/欧盟和美国的许可机会中获得可观的版税，也可以通过制造和销售各种定时标签的优化媒体配方。因此，这笔资金将对英国经济产生积极的影响，不仅可以从全球许可机会中获得版税收入，还可以促进英国湿媒体开发和制造方面的就业。”

"The mitigation of food waste in the supply chain, from producers to retailers to consumers, is a key need today because of its many socio-economic and environmental impacts. Surveys show that consumers are often confused by Use-by/Sell-by dates.Intray has developed the underpinning proof-of-principal for an innovative Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) label (Oli-Tec) for food and medical applications. Oli-Tec labels use innovative patented technology to respond to both time and temperature changes and inform the consumers of the changes via an easy-to-understand Green-Amber-Red signalling mechanism.The proof of concept for the Oli-Tec labels has been established using innovative patented wet media formulations and label design. With the help of InnovateUK funding, Intray will address various technical and production risks related to commercialisation of this UK innovation and patented technology. For the industrial partners, participating in this project with CPI, leverages access to over £90m of UK government's investment in relevant equipment & expertise at CPI's National Formulation Centre. The development of Demonstrator labels with specific timings will allow Intray to sample to alpha-customers for evaluation and market trials.The project will allow Intray to leverage relevant UK skills/expertise and lower the developmental risks in taking this innovation to higher TRL levels. At the end of the project, Intray will be able to the leverage its innovation and commercialize the Oli-Tec label with its commercialisation partner, OLPL, bringing significant royalty fees from licensing opportunities in the UK/EU and US and also via manufacture and sale of optimised media formulations for various timing labels. Thus, the funding will have a net positive impact on the UK economy, bringing in not only royalty income back from global licenscing opportunities but also driving UK employment in wet media development and manufacture."
