OE-A at virtual.drupa 2021

Printed batteries to power sensors for improved product logistics or cool-chain monitoring, RFID and NFC functionality to facilitate immediate cross-media interaction with the customer at the point of purchase or improved waste management – these are only a few applications that have already been enabled by printed electronics all along with innovative materials and processes. Organic and printed electronics is a revolutionary new type of electronics, being thin, lightweight, flexible, robust and produced at low cost. The high degree of freedom of design requires a holistic approach in product design to enable this wide range of novel applications.
