Product Authenticity & Integrity |
A recent FDA investigation revealed that 88% of imported pharmaceutical shipments contain unapproved, potentially harmful drugs. Nokia has recently discovered that 75% of replacement batteries, linked to explosions causing consumer injury, are counterfeit products. It is estimated that counterfeiting is a US$50 billion-a-year worldwide problem growing at around 6-8% annually. A staggering 80% of helicopter crashes are the consequence of non-genuine parts, or components not being replaced according to safety requirements.
The supply chain is very complex, globalised and highly integrated; making the tracking, tracing and identification of objects very challenging. Any supply chain player could, at any time, maliciously or accidentally swap identical objects, introduce counterfeits, or falsify documents about origin, composition or lifecycle.
Our Silent Tags are impossible to detect by unauthorised readers and therefore cannot be cloned or transplanted. The Intelligent Object Tracking System records the history of each tagged object so supply chain partners can establish its authenticity and remaining life.
 
In addition, our tags can also be designed in such a way that their antenna breaks upon opening of the package, so content integrity can be easily verified. With our Intelligent Object Tracking System, your organisation can benefit from affordable and reliable product authentication and integrity.
For example, our Intelligent Object Tracking System is ideal for the authentication and lifecycle control of aircraft parts, because of the stringent safety checks and regulations they have to meet. Other examples include designer goods, mobile and laptop batteries, luxury items, medicines and baby milk.
