What is FeaturePrint

FeaturePrint is an advanced machine-vision technology that provides for items, what fingerprints are for people – a unique and persistent identifier for the one in millions. FeaturePrint serializes items. As such, it enables track & trace, eliminates counterfeits and gray markets, and reduces human error ….all with just a photo using a standard camera. No bar codes, No QR codes, No stickers, No tags, No ‘invisible’ dust, No markers, No holograms, No special cameras, No special lighting, No Nonsense!

Why I need it

Providing Transparency, Traceability, Trust is quickly becoming a basic expectation. Be it tracing your products throughout the factory and supply chain; ensuring your customers are not buying fraudulent products (or returning them to you); managing warranty and service claims; or simple ensuring employees don’t use the wrong item for the job; being able to irrefutably identify and trace each specific item you have or are delivering, with its full provenance and data, is becoming a “must have” in every industry. Some industries have already regulated it. Others will. Get ahead of it with a simple, irrefutable, machine-vision based technology that does not require you to touch, mark, or modify the item or its production.

How it works

Using a photo, FeaturePrint, using standard off-the-shelf cameras, or even mobile phones, “sees” and converts the minute, random surface details inherent on every physical item, into a unique mathematical identity. These surface details are there because of the tolerances allowed in the manufacturing process, no matter what that process is. From gears and circuit boards to watches and collectables, no two objects are exactly the same, even though they may have just come out of the same production line.

Features of No-Touch Serialization

Using just a photo from a standard off-the-shelf camera, or mobile phone, you can serialize your items and trace them, and you can eliminate fraudulent products such as counterfeits and gray markets. All without touching, marking, or modifying your products, packaging, or production line.

Fingerprints physical items

Uniquely identifies physical items by creating a distinct digital fingerprint.

Easy-to-use

Mobile phone or off-the-shelf industrial camera. Cloud hosted.  Works anywhere, anytime.

Nondisruptive

No alterations, no stickers, no tags, no markings, no etchings, no interfering with production. Just a picture.

Resilient in real-world conditions

Effectively handles variations such as wear, partial views, and environmental changes.

Sustainable

Environmentally friendly without any waste, printing, papers, adhesives, or ink. Does not interfere with re-use or recycling.

Start to Finish in 3 Steps

Just take a photo of your part, product, or item. Use a mobile phone or industrial camera.

 

No marking, changing, adding, or manipulating. No pixy dust, holograms, barcodes, tags or stickers. No x-ray, spectral imaging, 3D mapping, or infra red.

Our patented algorithms automatically identify and codify the unique attributes and features inherently existing on the item.

 

It then creates a one-of-a-kind FeaturePrint® (a 'digital fingerprint') that can be used for identification, authentication, and traceability.The ONE of millions. Just like your own fingerprint.

You, your customer, your distributer, your quality control, or anyone you choose, can take a picture of the item and identify it, authenticate it, and trace it. Simple.

 

No special scanners, readers, or tools. Just a camera. Even the one on your phone.
