Why static codes and holograms fail against modern counterfeiters and a physical surface fingerprint is essential.
| Codes & serial numbers alone | Visible features (holograms etc.) | SmartID: Code + Surface Fingerprint | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is verified? | Information on a label | Feature on the label | the physical packaging itself |
| Clonable? | Yes, in seconds | Overcome by high-end fakes | No – structure is unique |
| Counterfeit detected by | nothing (data is identical) | Specialists, rarely consumers | every scan, automatically |
| Location intelligence | Yes | none | real-time mapped fake scans |
| Proof in warranty & legal enforcement | Suspicion | weak | physical proof |
SmartID integrates smoothly into existing packaging lines
Use your existing 2D code on your product or use a thermal transfer printer to print a label. The SmartID VisionBox captures the fingerprint inline and registers it tamper-proof.
Within 1 second, customers, customs, and technicians get the answer. Optical measurement verifies the microstructures.
Brand manufacturers detect scan hotspots on their dashboard, exposing fake and grey market routes. Anonymized scan analytics provide invaluable touchpoint intelligence.
Test SmartID live for 3 months with 2,000 custom labels directly on your own products.
No. SmartID works on standard thermal transfer printers (e.g. Zebra, SATO, CAB) with standard resolution. You only need the SmartID VisionBox for optical registration during printing.
Because SmartID analyzes physical random patterns (manufacturing irregularities on the micrometer scale). When a photo is reprinted, new, unique random patterns are created. The SmartID app identifies the copy as a forgery in less than a second.
The demo ends automatically with zero hidden fees or subscription traps. If you are satisfied with the results (fewer complaints, grey market insights), we craft a tailored rollout plan for your serial production.
Yes, absolutely. SmartID serves as a tamper-proof carrier for the Digital Product Passport, allowing you to provide technical docs, certificates, and material data securely.
