The AlpVision’s patented Fingerprint technology is used in the partnership, which enables brand owners in the pharmaceutical industry to track and validate mass produced products manufactured in a mold with a scanner or an iPhone.
The process, which builds on AlpVision’s authentication solution, involves capturing a digital image of the intrinsic microscopic surface irregularities found in a mold.
The image is then used as a reference to authenticate an entire production of molded parts, such as vials, containers and lids, test tubes and caps.
Nolato Medical president Christer Wahlquist said, "AlpVision’s Fingerprint solution is a welcome addition to our company’s product portfolio, which already consists of a range of tamper-evident caps. The solution can also be used for medical devices which need to be protected against counterfeiting."
