P&G Experimenting With Smart Packaging

from the it-knows-when-you-pick-it-up dept

P&G is apparently experimenting with smart packaging that will know the second you pick a product up off the shelf - and if you put it back. It's not hard to see how this could be done, but the problem is that it's probably too expensive to do on a bigger scale. However, inventory demands and improving the supply chain are things that are very important to P&G and many retailers. I wonder if P&G will report on any of the results from the tests.

    I am an Oklahoma City journalist doing a feature article on the dot com burnout. I would appreciate feedback and input from anyone who has had personal experience with the boom AND the bust, and would be willing to have me quote them. Contact me at [email protected]

    Hi Trebor. At the very least you could have included a comment on the P&G smart packaging article you were responding to...

    It's nice that you think Techdirt readers might have a comment for your article, but don't you think you should have chosen a more appropriate way to get info out of our readers?
