Result description
Useeble is revolutionizing product quality assurance with its innovative smart inks, which enable intelligent labels that change color when exposed to specific time-temperature conditions. These labels provide a simple visual alert for temperature breaches, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of products, particularly vaccines and food, where temperature violations can be life-threatening. We have identified large interest in smart labels from multiple industries, specially food and the vaccine label market, where there is both a worry on product wastage as well as on responsible consumption. With a validated market need we have focused on technology development as well as competitor research, solidifying our USPs. Our future plans focus on further technology development to produce inks that accurately cater to the food and vaccine quality monitoring markets as well as on identification of good partners to initiate scale up trials to print our inks on industrial labels.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- Grants and Subsidies
- Business partners – SMEs, Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations
- Expanding to more markets /finding new customers
Useeble is seeking partnerships and funding to advance our technology beyond the prototype stage. We are bootstrapped, with ongoing trials in Spain and Ireland, and are actively looking for public funding and investors. For partnerships, we welcome collaboration with label and packaging companies interested in testing the printability of our inks-crucial for proving scalability and unlocking new market opportunities.
- Public or private funding institutions
- Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
We currently have lab-made prototypes and have running trials in 2 countries. These trails are demonstrating the use of our smart labels for food quality indication
1.Broad application: tuned to match the requirements of various industries.
2.Manufacturing: The inks can be printed on existing industrial printing machines.
We can produce inks with specific colour changing behavior and replicability is not a problem.
Useeble’s business model focuses on producing and selling smart inks to packaging producers, who incorporate them into labels for food/medications. The inks can be used / printed by label or packaging manufacturers to create functional smart labels. One liter of ink can produce more than 200k labels, therefore ink production is very scalable and we do not need large facilities to cater to demand.
