Scenario #1: Snacks Packaging
Challenge: A project team needed to find new solutions to better maintain their snacks’ freshness. The project team tapped Accelovation to scour the Web for innovative solutions.
Results: Using Accelovation, they were able to quickly identify innovative packaging materials, technologies, approaches and equipment manufacturers, saving them weeks of manual research work.
Scenario #2: Portion Control Packaging
Challenge: The project team was addressing the trend of weight management and portion control, and was looking for dispensing mechanisms for accurate, controlled delivery of dressings and sauces. Previous searches using known suppliers had not been successful. This team decided to use an Accelovation Technology Scouting assessment to search across industries for solutions.
Results: Accelovation found dispensing mechanisms not only in the food and beverage industry, but also in other areas, including chemicals, biotech, and consumer products. According to the project team, these solutions outside of the food and beverage industry were “great," and the easy-to-understand categorization of results by industry was “awesome.”
In a demonstration, Accelovation applied its software to a recent article posted at Packworld.com; to see the results, click here to view the document in PDF format.
