Abstract

This article aims to analyze the technological developments of packages for chilled or frozen products carrying thermochromic visual indicators to inform the cumulative thermal exposure along logistics chains. Thermochromic visual indicators inform the final consumer whether the product is in real and safe conditions for consumption. Through technological prospecting in the Espacenet and Institute of Industrial Property of Brazil patent databases, 75 documents were selected, and their bibliographic and technical data were analyzed through Iramuteq software to identify the technological fields related to these kinds of packages that contribute most to increasing value. Supported by a literature review, we identified “technological clusters” which promote developing products and processes. The value features related to packages were confronted to technologies found, offering a clear vision of those more advanced and those yet incipient from the value generating point of view. Contrary to intuitive conclusions, technologies employing information on means of measuring and/or indicating temperature are the most frequently present in the patent documents analyzed, comparing to ecological and economic functions.

智能包装和价值创造:基于专利分析的技术发展机遇
本文旨在分析冷藏或冷冻产品包装的技术发展,这些包装带有热致变色视觉指示器,可告知物流链上的累积热暴露情况。热变色视觉指示器可告知最终消费者产品是否处于真实安全的消费环境中。通过在 Espacenet 和巴西工业产权研究所专利数据库中进行技术检索,我们选择了 75 篇文献,并通过 Iramuteq 软件对其书目和技术数据进行了分析,以确定与此类包装相关的技术领域,这些领域对提高价值贡献最大。在文献综述的支持下,我们确定了促进产品和工艺开发的 "技术集群"。与软件包相关的价值特征与所发现的技术相对应,从创造价值的角度清楚地看到了那些更先进的技术和那些尚处于起步阶段的技术。与直观结论相反,在所分析的专利文件中,与生态和经济功能相比,采用信息测量和/或指示温度的手段的技术出现频率最高。
