In a near future, packaging will be connected to eCoupled. This is a low-cost enhancement to product packaging and it has a wireless power integrated into the packaging. It also allows the consumer and supplier to see all the informations related to the product (product quantities, expiration dates, stocks). People will automatically have an up-to-date grocery list at them fingertips the next time they're out shopping.
