The rise in counterfeit products has witnessed a worrying increase, with every sector affected. From aerospace and automobile parts, to pharmaceutical, medical devices, tax stamps, cosmetics and many more. Many counterfeiters have adapted their production and selling processes in line with the rise in online shopping since the start of the pandemic. Europol studies have shown time and time again how these counterfeit products pose a ‘serious threat to the health and safety of consumers, as well as to the European economy’.
The key to combating counterfeits in your industry are product authentication systems which are both simple to implement and fully secure. Unfortunately, many of these systems can be broken into, with the security of your products severely compromised through sophisticated cloning, copying and faking by the counterfeiters.
Fully secure systems allow companies and brands to authenticate parts, ingredients and products across the supply chain to ensure no harmful counterfeit products enter.
Many industry experts have highlighted the future of authentication as being consumer-led, developing solutions which can empower consumers to authenticate resulting in significant uplifts in consumer trust in the brand and products sold through global supply chains.
In response to these needs, Quantum Base has developed Q-ID® Optical, a fully unbreakable solution, which is simple and hugely cost-effective as a means to give you and your consumers 100% trust in your products on a global scale. With ease of authentication of our “quantum fingerprint” Q-ID® via a standard smartphone in under 2 seconds, not only do we provide the ultimate in secure brand and product protection, we empower billions of consumers to authenticate anything anywhere.
The anti-counterfeit tags are integrated seamlessly into existing manufacturing and printing processes, so you can be providing innovative product authentication in a matter of weeks. What’s more, our small tags can be added to any product packaging or indeed the product itself, bypassing the issues many solutions face when it comes to packaging real estate.
Developed by leading scientists from across the UK who have undertaken extensive research into quantum mechanics, the Q-ID® Optical tags can offer many benefits to your company.
