Mock housing will populate the virtual landscape of the 15,000-square-feet exhibit in the North Hall, complete with mailboxes and doorsteps to accept delivered packages. Workhorse delivery drones will take off from the top of a stationary Workhorse elec- tric van and make deliveries to the mock houses. To complete the simulation, monitors outside of the drone area will broadcast the information available from the delivery van via the Metron application.The screens will also offer the drone perspective via live video from a camera mounted on the drones.

EXPO PACK Guadalajara Outpaces High Expectations EXPO PACK Guadalajara welcomed nearly 16,000 attendees to the Expo Guadalajara held June 13–15, a 45 percent rise in attendance from 2015. More that 40 percent of attendees traveled from outside the immediate area, including international attendance from Guatemala, Cuba, Costa Rica, Colom- bia, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru. All told more than 21,000 packaging and process- ing professionals from 16 countries descended among 757 booths spread across 140,000 net square feet of exhibit space—triple the size of 2015. Interna- tional pavilions included Brazil, Canada, China, France, Italy, Spain and the United States. EXPO PACK General Director Gerardo Barajas opened the show with high expectations based on research from the Mexican Packaging Association (AMEE) that indicated steady growth in the Mexican packaging and processing market. The total produc- tion of the Mexican packaging industry increased 4.6 percent over the previous year and is expected to grow 5 percent by the end of 2017. This data served as the impetus for many education- al opportunities for attendees including a conference session from MILA Managing Director Luis Doménech that outlined the causes of the current stability in the Mexican market and presented a se- ries of strategies for success. Doménech described the market as ripe for investment with multinational consumer packaged goods companies, an exploding beverage sector and an increasing desire for automa- tion driving growth. As in previous years, EXPO PACK Guadalajara’s suc- cess was bolstered by support from most of Mexico’s leading professional industry associations. These or- ganizations include AMEE, Cámara de Comercio de Guadalajara, Cámara de la Industria Alimenticia de Jalisco (CIAJ), Cámara Nacional de Fabricantes de En- vases Metálicos (CANAFEM), Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Artes Gráficas de Jalisco (CANAGRAF Jalisco), Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Conser- vas Alimenticias (CANAINCA), Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Productos Cosméticos y Asociación Na- cional de la Industria de Productos del Cuidado Per- sonal y del Hogar A.C. (CANIPEC), Cámara Nacional de la Industria Farmacéutica (CANIFARMA) and Cá- mara Regional de la Industria de la Transformación del Estado de Jalisco (CAREINTRA).

RFID Tags Experience Surging Demand, Says Report Nearly 400,000 thousand units of smart labels sold globally in 2016 were accounted by Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which amounted to an estimated $2,493.9 million, according to the re- search findings from a new Future Market Insights’ report, titled Smart Labels Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2016–2026 . Surging demand for RFID tags in the global retail in- dustry have been pivotal in boosting sales of smart la- bels, globally. Furthermore, the advantages of RFID smart labels in maintaining, tracking and updating stock & inventory databases is predicted to continue driving their demand around the globe in the coming years. According to Future Market Insights, the global market for smart labels amassed revenues worth $4.7 billion in 2016, and is likely to reach $22.6 billion market value by the end of 2026. During the forecast period, the global smart labels market size is antici- pated to expand robustly at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 17 percent. Rampant Growth Organized retail sector will continue to drive ram- pant growth in global smart labels sales, while ware- housing businesses in the world are expected to actively adopt smart labelling for their benefits in tracking products. Growing sales of biologics and specialty drugs that require thermal-sensitive packag- ing are promoting the use of smart labels that are equipped with temperature-control functions. Smart labels will be integrated in drug monitoring systems across pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world, fa- cilitating efficiency in transportation, anti-counterfeit measures, and damage control. Key highlights of the research report exhibit RFID as the dominant labelling technology, however, Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) and sensing labels are also expected to gain traction while independently regis- tering a rise at more than 16 percent CAGR over the forecast period. By the end of 2026, global retail indus- try will be the largest end-user of smart labels by procuring global revenue share of more than 30 per- cent. On the other hand, healthcare, automotive and logistics will be considered as lucrative end-user indus- tries for smart labels, collectively accounting for sales of more than 1,561,000 thousand units by 2026-end. Flexographic and gravure printing technologies are predicted to dominate the global smart labels market in terms of revenues. Over the forecast period, more than $8 billion revenues are will be accounted by flexographic smart labels, while smart labels manu-
