OpSec Security has launched OpSec SmartCheck, a proprietary smartphone-enabled Optically Variable Device (OVD) validation tool that uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and offers clients a reliable method of validating overt OVD features with a high level of confidence.
The growing problem of counterfeits and diverted product in the supply chain is a constant concern for brand and revenue protection professionals. Even for those who have already deployed product authentication methods, it is challenging to detect a growing volume of ‘good enough’ counterfeits.
Overt product authentication methods are important in enabling quick and easy product verification throughout the supply chain. Organizations are increasingly looking to validate these visual checks with a greater level of confidence without the cost and complexity of traditional covert methods (taggants or IR inks).
Often, organizations manage a broad range of product categories and authentication solutions. As a result, they require an easy to use, consistent solution to improve the detection accuracy of existing overt authentication methods and enable a deeper level of inspection. Likewise, revenue protection professionals have a higher number of enforcement stakeholders, including brand protection, customs and trading standards, all working to tighter timelines than ever before. These teams require a simple, reliable solution that enables compliance.
OpSec SmartCheck combines the benefits of overt and covert authentication in one solution that provides fast and robust authentication. SmartCheck is integrated with OpSec’s suite of proprietary high security and brand protection technologies, providing a solution customized to each customer’s unique requirements.
Using the OpSec Insight mobile app, field inspectors can simply scan the SmartCheck enabled OVD and receive instant authenticity validation without the need for security feature training or specialist hardware. SmartCheck adds a high level of authentication to visual checks, can be implemented quickly across a variety of inspection stakeholders using existing technologies, and does not require any additional devices.
“This is a real step forward in authentication technology. SmartCheck adds a high level of authentication to visual checks, is easily scalable, and can be implemented quickly across a variety of inspection stakeholders using existing technologies. It’s a useful tool that the marketplace needs,” Jim Keller, Global VP of Technology and Operations at OpSec Security stated.
“Organizations that enforce and want an extra level of authentication need SmartCheck to improve their enforcement and productivity capabilities.”
OpSec SmartCheck is ideal for organizations that enforce across a large geographic area in Automotive, Fashion, Electronics, Consumer Products, Government Authentication, and many more industries. SmartCheck is also secure enough for high-value documents, certificates, and deeds.
