Secure Brands
A large number of industries are plagued by knock-offs and counterfeits. Like the pharmaceutical, automotive parts, and aircraft parts manufacturers, these industries also have a need to track and trace units through the entire supply chain. The list of industries includes consumer electronics, commercial pumps, luxury goods, retail, currency, liquor, food, cosmetics, tobacco, firearms, ammunition, etc.
While the losses to the rightful manufacturers are the leading driver of a solution, concerns over liability exposure related to poor performance of undiscovered fake goods (as in the case of commercial pumps breaking down) and lost tax revenue (as in the case of fake cigarettes) increase the need and desire to be able to track and trace goods.
Again, SSI's patented ESC™ System provides manufacturers true unit-level track and trace of their products.
The ESC™ System creates a unique machine-readable symbology, which is universally recognized, and a corresponding electronic pedigree that can be tracked and traced through the supply chain during the useful life of the product. This symbology can contain industry-specific data unique to its supply chain.
This is done with existing off-the-shelf bar code scanners, and is adaptable to the RFID ePC™ format.
