Flexibility in adapting traceability codes or logos to variations in industrial production.
APPLICATIONS OF THE TECHNOLOGY
Reduction of waste generated by the industrial process. The production of adhesives, supports for labels and ink becomes unnecessary.
Marketing of fruits (specifically of melons) by companies that have decided to identify their products with symbols and logos that guarantee their origin.
Reduced energy consumption due to the elimination of many currently used industrial stages: production of paper, logo printing, the application of adhesives, etc.
Marking solutions using this technology on other varieties of fruits, including tomatoes, bananas, kiwis and apples.
Decreased production of CO2 associated with the industrial process by consuming fewer raw materials and requiring less energy to operate.
TARGETED SECTORS
Impossibility of falsification or fraud in the identification of agrifood pieces since the marking process produces indelible identification.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Unit traceability provides added value, since food security is guaranteed in terms of origin and/or quality.
Reinforcement of product differentiation by including custom logos and personalised marks. With the differentiation of agrifood pieces, products in the market can be unambiguously identified, achieving a price increase, and therefore, increased profitable.
The marking technology used provides an indelible identification on the surface of the piece. Any attempt at modification or removal leaves visible signs that betray destructive handling.
