Intelligo: smart RFID and eco-friendly packaging for the green economy

Green Tag RFID and corrugated cardboard packaging, a winning combination for companies looking to combine efficiency, economy and ecology.

The more functional and sustainable solution is called Intelligo, an intelligent system which combines innovative design with green tags that make the packaging sensorial, connected and communicative. The solution is proposed by Schiassi, a historic carton factory in Villanova di Castenaso (Bologna, Italy) that has built its business success by combining innovation and sustainability, and has chosen Tenenga, a system integrator from Castel Maggiore (Bologna, Italy) whose specialists have been working on Auto-ID and IoT systems for over 30 years, as its technological partner.

Green UHF RFID tags for a sustainable IoT
Specifically, Tenenga's RFID Green Tags guarantee the traceability and retraceability of items, reducing the environmental impact of smart packaging to zero. This is because the transponder antenna is not made of aluminium: it is made with a special ink printed on a layer of paper, eliminating the need for the PET layer on which the antenna of the RFID tag is traditionally made. This guarantees a totally and truly eco-friendly Smart Packaging 4.0, in line with the Green Economy.

Behind the scenes of eco-smart packaging
Intelligo simplifies the process of handling and archiving documents and goods, combining speed and error reduction with smart packaging that reduces the carbon footprint. From smart folders to pallets, corrugated cardboard offers many benefits:

  • Extremely robust, ensures contents are protected during transport and storage;
  • Totally non-toxic, eliminating the risk of product contamination;
  • Biodegradable, reducing environmental impact;
  • When not assembled, it is lightweight and takes up little space.

Efficient, dynamic and flexible packaging
Using high-definition flexographic printing, the Schiassi plants transform corrugated cardboard into packaging suitable for automatic wrapping, with technical equipment that guarantees electronic control of the gluing, defined and precise contours and cleanliness of waste and packaging. The catalogue offers a wide range of solutions for office or factory applications, such as pull-open lines, side-fill or wrap-around.
