MLA Smart Packaging Interactive Dashboard Development, Implementation and Maintenance

Summary

Clarivate Analytics was engaged in a project with Meat & Livestock Australia Ltd (MLA) to provide information and useful insight from patent and published literature data into the structure and nature of innovation and research within the ‘smart packaging’ technology field, specifically to identify technologies that can assist Australian food producers to deliver food products to exports markets that deliver on food safety, provenance, shelf life, traceability and integrity that can contribute to capturing a price premium.

Initial deliverables were provided in Microsoft Excel and PDF format, which were, subsequently, further analysed by Clarivate Analytics Professional Services Enabling Technology team in order to define and design an interactive dashboard. Clarivate Analytics defined the functional and technical specification of the dashboard under a “Define & Design” project. This project builds on the preliminary findings reported in MLA project V.RDP.1003 which collected 12,930 patent invention families and 4,441 published literature documents identified for analysis and construct of a dashboard.

MLA contracted Clarivate Analytics to develop and deploy the interactive dashboard. The project was run using Agile Scrum methodology and was successfully completed in September 2017.

The aim of this final report is to present the work performed as part of this engagement, the methodology used for the development of the dashboard as well the lessons learned from the project for future reference.
