Quantum Base Q-ID® QR Codes can be applied to any product.
We are currently working across a number of vertical markets in the design and delivery of our unique quantum identities for individual product level authentication and brand protection, while allowing real-time consumer data capture on a global scale.
Tax Stamps and ID/Passports
Quantum Base Q-ID® QR Codes provide unbreakable security for Governmental revenue protection, identity documents and tax stamps, helping combat global issues of counterfeit alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals. With increased counterfeiting in government passports, Quantum Base Q-ID®s are helping to redefine human security and identity on a global scale.
Apparel and Fashion
Our patented Quantum Secure Q-ID® QR Codes are helping to secure the integrity of global brands. Working with one of the top 10 global anti-counterfeit organisations, our unique “quantum fingerprint” Q-ID® identities can be incorporated on swing tags, labels or the product.
Q-ID®s enable apparel and sportswear brands and their consumers to connect, share and create in real time, providing customer insights on a global scale; maximising marketing impact, and creating new consumer touchpoints.
Pharmaceuticals
Counterfeit pharmaceuticals and medical devices are sadly on the rise with global pharmaceutical counterfeiting amounting to a $220bn value problem annually (PwC 2019), with the annual human death toll in excess of 1 million (World Health Organization 2019). Quantum secure Q-ID® QR Codes are designed to fit on all packaging and blister packs today, with individual pill level Q-ID® identification in ~ 24 months.
Q-ID®s bring 100% security in pharmaceutical supply chains, from global manufacturer to individual patient, armed with a standard smartphone.
Auto and Aerospace
With an average of over 1 million parts in modern commercial passenger aircraft, amounting to billions of new parts annually, Quantum Base quantum secure Q-ID® technology can safeguard the integrity and identity of each part against counterfeit substitutes, in real time across global supply chains – maximising efficiencies, and securing safety and protection.
With Q-ID® QR Codes, billions of car parts can be uniquely identified, tracked and traced from origin to use, providing competitive advantage across just-in-time supply chains. Learn about our anti-counterfeit solution for aerospace and automotive sectors here.
Electrical Goods
The rise in electrical goods has sadly brought a rise in counterfeit electricals. In fact, in March 2015, more than 6,500 items a day were seized at ports and borders due to a lack of safety or non-compliance, according to Trading Standards.
Able to be added at both product and packaging level, our Q-ID tags are securing electrical products and empowering manufacturers across the globe.
Nutraceuticals
Much like within the pharmaceutical industry, counterfeit nutraceutical products are on the rise with large US manufacturers have finding exact replicates of their products being sold to thousands of unsuspecting consumers on Amazon and eBay.
Q-ID® Optical can be integrated both packing and foil level for a greater degree of authentication. After clinical trials, we will be able to offer our Q-ID® at pill level as well. This not only allows for authentication throughout the supply chain, but also empowers consumer-led authentication.
Consumer Goods
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) includeS but is not limited to packaged foods, cosmetics, beverages, cleaning supplies and other low-cost household items. As these products sell quickly at a relatively low cost, when counterfeits enter the supply chain they can cause widespread disruption and harm to the public.
Our Q-ID® Optical tags provide security at an atomic level, exploiting the inherent randomness of quantum materials to create a solution which cannot be cloned by counterfeiters. Able to be incorporated on swing tags, labels or the product these unique identities can be read by a standard smartphone camera empowering the consumer.
Tobacco and Vapes
While sales of genuine tobacco may be declining, counterfeit tobacco is still infiltrating the market at record numbers. Meanwhile, the sale of counterfeit vapes is also on the rise. Counterfeit cigarettes and vapes can cause serious harm to consumers, containing ingredients such as weedkillers, metal splinters, dead insects and rat faeces as well as illegal amounts of nicotine.
Our Q-ID® Optical tags provide security at an atomic level, exploiting the inherent randomness of quantum materials to create a solution which cannot be cloned by tobacco counterfeiters. They can be authenticated using a standard smartphone putting authentication in the hands of the consumer and delivering results in seconds.
