By Elementag
It's not on things, it's INSIDE of them. Elementag adds a layer of information to any material or product, making it identifiable and traceable. It is an invisible and permanent alteration, indistinguishable from the starting condition, but which tells a precise story, just like a fingerprint. 01. Encoding: A specific nanoparticle composition is associated with a unique identifying code and a set of information decided by the client (e.g. a brand, a factory, a production batch, an individual item, etc.). 2. Production: We manufacture the nanoparticles with that exact composition using our proprietary technology. 3. Integration: Nanoparticles are integrated as markers. They can be applied as a surface coating, added during the molding / casting process or, alternatively, can be used to mark a small portion of the object to be traced. No matter what solution is selected, we always try to minimize the impact on our clients' processes. 4. Detection: Elementag can be detected in a simple, quick and accurate way thanks to a portable scanner (handheld XRF analyzer), which allows for an on-site detection, without the need of labs or specific analysis. Sources & Origin: One of the key characteristics of Elementag is its "processability". It can be used to physically trace products across all stages of manufacturing, from raw material to end of life. Authenticity: Assign an invisible, permanent and unique code to a batch of products or even to a single item to certify its authenticity. Thanks to its complexity it would make original products even harder to counterfeit, but easier to authenticate. Quality: Guarantee pure quality to your customers thanks to Elementag. The relative concentration of our markers can be used against dilution and adulteration as a certification of quality. Batch: Limit recalls & dumping due to inferior-quality and increase stakeholders' accountability, by precisely identifying specific batches thanks to traceable materials. Data Mining: You will be able to extract and more accurately attribute useful data to improve your processes. Compared to other technologies: Invisible to the naked eye; Fully embedded / Not removable; High encoding capacity; On-site reading; Processing resistance.
