StratusGroup has become a certified supplier for Kodak’s Traceless Security System to provide clients with heightened measures of brand security.
Unlike other security solutions, Steve Powell, General Manager and Director, Security Solutions at Kodak, explains “It’s virtually impossible to reverse engineer, and affordable for mass implementation. The time is now for companies to take a stand and protect their brands and relationships with their customers.”
The Kodak Traceless System is a forensically invisible authentication technology that deploys a combination of proprietary markers and handheld readers that allows customers to easily validate the authenticity of an item in the field or in distribution channels.
The Traceless System creates items with unique “marker material” properties that can only be detected using Kodak’s reading technologies. These markers can be mixed with inks, toners, varnishes, and other items for analog and Kodak digital printing applications, as well as paper pulp, plastics, powders, pigments, liquids and textiles. The Kodak System’s markers have no effect on the characteristics of the end products or packaging. Users license the Kodak technology under multiyear agreements, and have secure control of the markers, the readers and associated software. This system prevents counterfeiters from duplicating the products or their packaging.
StratusGroup is employing these security solutions for an array of markets that are being harmed by counterfeiting, such as pharmaceutical packaging, food, beverage, health and beauty.
