ScanSure – The Three Pillars
 The ScanSure solution is comprised of three pillars which
provide a comprehensive authentication and track & trace
solution:
 The Next Generation Barcode
 The ScanSure Reader
 Item Level Authentication (Currency Grade)
 Track & Trace
 SDK
 TrackSure - Optional
 Track and Trace Software & Platform
Part 1: Next Generation Barcode
The Next Generation Barcode
 Can be a linear or 2D barcode.
 Can be a visible or invisible barcode.
 Visible Barcode:
 Can be read by end-users via mobile apps.
 Invisible Barcodes:
 Extra layer of covert security.
 Minimal use of the package real estate.
Combining Authentication and Track & Trace
 The barcode is marked with taggant* ink.
 Marking can be achieved by:
 Printing the barcode with marked ink (TTR).
 Overprinting the barcode with tagged* varnish.
 Marking an “area” on the barcode with tagged*
varnish.
 Marking the area near the barcode with tagged ink.
 Adding a taggant based hologram near the barcode.
 Once marked, the barcode can be authenticated with
ScanSure.
*See appendix for an explanation of taggants.
Part 2: The ScanSure Reader
Introduction to the ScanSure Reader
 ScanSure is a hand-held reader that performs item-level
authentication (currency grade) and track & trace analysis
in seconds.
 ScanSure increases revenue by recovering losses from
numerous types of supply chain security breaches.
 In one click ScanSure determines if an item is:




Counterfeit
Diverted
Produced by a “third shift” operation
Illegitimate (expired, unauthorized etc.)
ScanSure’s Comprehensive Analysis
 ScanSure diagnoses supply chain security breaches by
reading and authenticating simultaneously:
 The item’s barcode.
and
 InkSure’s machine-readable taggant. (in ink or in a hologram).
 ScanSure can be used online or offline throughout the supply
chain.

What is Taggant Technology?
 Taggants = Chemical markers invisible to the human eye.
 Acts like a fingerprint marking each item with a unique code.
 Once applied, taggants make items machine-readable and
protected from counterfeit.
 Item authenticity can be verified in seconds.
 Requires no changes to be made to your current production
process:
 No additional steps.
 No special equipment.
