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

从生产者到零售商再到消费者，减少供应链中的食物浪费是当今的一项关键需求，因为它对社会经济和环境产生了许多影响。调查显示，消费者经常被保质期/保质期所迷惑。Inray已经为食品和医疗应用开发了一种创新的时间温度指示器(TTI)标签(OLI-Tec)的支撑原理证明。Oli-Tec标签使用创新的专利技术来响应时间和温度的变化，并通过易于理解的绿-琥珀-红色信号机制通知消费者变化。Oli-Tec标签的概念验证使用了创新的专利湿介质配方和标签设计。在InnovateUK资金的帮助下，Intry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。对于与CPI一起参与这一项目的行业合作伙伴，利用CPI国家配方中心超过9000万GB的英国政府投资于相关设备和专业知识的机会。具有特定时间的演示标签的开发将允许Intray对阿尔法客户进行采样以进行评估和市场试验。该项目将使Intry能够利用相关的英国技能/专业知识，并降低将这项创新提升到更高TRL水平的开发风险。在项目结束时，Intry将能够利用其创新并与其商业化合作伙伴OLPL将Oli-Tec标签商业化，从英国/欧盟和美国的许可机会以及各种计时标签的优化媒体配方的制造和销售中带来可观的特许权使用费。因此，这笔资金将对英国经济产生净积极影响，不仅从全球许可机会中带来特许权使用费收入，还将推动英国在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."
