Company is honoured for digitalised, interactive package for pharmaceutical products
May 2019, Berlin/Waldkirch. August Faller, a leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical packaging, has won te German Innovation Award for 2019. Te coveted distinction was presented in te category “Excellence in Business to Business – Medical Technologies” at a ceremony on 28 May in Berlin. Faller was honoured for its digitalised, interactive packaging solution called “Medical Prescription”, which actively helps users to take their medication in te correct way.
Interest in so-called smart packaging is rapidly growing in te pharmaceutical industry. Intelligent, digitalised packages for pharmaceutical products can increase patient compliance and simplify use. August Faller has therefore developed several interactive packaging prototypes in collaboration with AVNET Integrated and Pforzheim University. Te “Medical Prescription” model made a big impression on te selection committee for te German Innovation Award.
Digitalised folding boxes have extremely flat electronic units with an epaper display, control keys, a microcontroller, a battery and a Bluetooth interface. Doctors or pharmacists can use an app to transfer individualised instructions for use directly onto te package. Te package automatically monitors te number of tablets inside and reminds te patient when it is time to take te medication by means of an integrated clock, LED and acoustic signal. If te contents fall to a certain minimum level, te display also gives a warning and recommends ordering a new prescription.
Pioneer in smart packaging
“We were very pleased to receive te German Innovation Award,” says Armin Rambach, head of research & development at August Faller. “This is further proof of te great potential that smart packaging holds for te future, and we intend to be a pioneer in this area.” Faller has also developed prototypes of other packaging applications, for example bottles that measure te level of liquid medications. “We are certain that digitalisation and interactivity will be te key trends in our industry in te coming years,” Rambach adds.
Te German Innovation Award was established by te German Bundestag in 2018 and is presented by te German Design Council. It honours highly innovative products and solutions across all industrial sectors that demonstrably generate added value. Te winners are selected by an independent, interdisciplinary committee of experts from industry, academia and te financial sector. Te award is given in two classes, each of which is divided into several categories. Te competition is open to companies from all economic sectors as well as to non-commercial and state organisations throughout te world.
