DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Systech, part of Markem-Imaje and Dover and a leading provider of digital identification and traceability software solutions, today announced that it has released the next generation of its UniSecure® platform, a comprehensive product security solution for counterfeit and diversion detection. UniSecure provides unique product identification, traceability and product verification via smartphone across the supply chain in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, medical products, skin care and other markets.
Counterfeiting is the largest criminal enterprise in the world, according to the US Patent and Trademark Office, with domestic and international sales of counterfeit and pirated goods totaling between an estimated $1.7 trillion and $4.5 trillion each year. Major consumer brands also face revenue declines from diversion across sales channels and geographies. Fake and diverted goods put consumers, brand reputations and revenues at significant risk.
Currently, anti-counterfeiting technologies are invasive to the product or its packaging and have additional overhead. The UniSecure upgrade delivers highly secure authentication without changing or adding anything to the existing package. It leverages Systech's patented e-Fingerprint® technology to turn a 1D, 2D Data Matrix or QR code into a covert, unique and non-replicable digital signature.
Brands and their trading partners can instantly authenticate individual products—and verify if they have been distributed as intended—anywhere in the supply chain using only a smartphone. Real-time alerts notify stakeholders of counterfeiting and diversion threats, while built-in forensic intelligence delivers rapid root cause analysis and gathers data that helps identify the potential source.
"Delivering product and consumer protection through existing barcodes and QR codes has never been easier," said Sreedhar Patnala, Vice President, Digital Products. "UniSecure has leveraged e-fingerprint® technology to successfully protect brands against counterfeiting and diversion in diverse markets. We are proud to announce this transformational upgrade to the UniSecure platform, built on the many recent advances in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud and Machine Vision technologies."
Key features of UniSecure include:
- Non-additive and covert, it works with existing packaging and barcodes (1D, 2D Data Matrix or QR; serialized, non-serialized) and now includes GS1-compliant high-density QR codes with extensive product and brand information.
- Highly secure patented approach uses packaging barcodes to generate non-replicable e-Fingerprints.
- Faster time to value with a smart camera deployable on any production line with minimal downtime and direct connectivity to the cloud.
- Optimal accuracy during product verification with an artificial intelligence-enabled smart mobile application.
- Comprehensive forensic intelligence using built-in tools, interfaces and extensive data collected throughout the supply chain to assist in root cause analysis.
Systech will showcase the next generation of UniSecure at the upcoming 2023 AIPIA World Congress, which will be held from November 14-15 at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
