InkSure Technologies has released ScanSure, a forensic-level reader offering the next generation of barcode technology.

According to the company, this latest edition to its anti-counterfeiting product line guards against common supply chain vulnerabilities. In one click ScanSure will determine if a product is counterfeit, diverted, illegitimate or part of a ‘third shift’ operation (unauthorised production). 

In addition to barcodes, ScanSure also authenticates holograms, serial numbers and other commonly used anti-counterfeiting security features.

InkSure says ScanSure integrates seamlessly with any existing track & trace solution. For organisations that are currently not using such a system InkSure offers TrackSure, a cloud-based customisable track & trace solution.

“The problem of counterfeiting gets a lot of attention but this is not the only way criminals use an organisation’s brand for their own gain. For example, many outsourced manufacturing plants sell their customers’ products through diverted channels; run ‘third shift’ counterfeiting productions and try to sell recalled or expired products. Therefore companies need to have systems in place that identify all of these supply chain security breaches, not just counterfeiting,” says Tal Gilat, president and CEO of InkSure Technologies. 

“ScanSure is the most unique and robust reader that InkSure has ever created. No other reader is designed to give complete authentication and track & trace information. The system we have created is dynamic, thorough and gives organisations the control they need to secure their supply chains from the most notorious security breaches,” says Viktor Goldovsky, head of business development at InkSure Technologies.
