InkSure receives product innovation award

InkSure Technologies, a provider of covert machine-readable authentication solutions, has been awarded the 2007 Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation Award – Chipless Tag Market (APAC). InkSure‘s award came within the Automation & Electronics (Smart Cards & RFID) segment.

’We’re pleased to be recognized for the innovations being made with our SARcode chipless RFID technology. It is an honor to be an award recipient along with so many prestigious technology companies,’ stated Don Taylor, InkSure’s vice president of global marketing.

InkSure has leveraged the intellectual property developed in its current ink-based security solutions business to develop multi-bit (e.g. 96-bit) ’chipless‘ RFID codes (’SARcodes‘) that can be printed with conductive inks beneath the surface of documents, product labels, product packaging and products themselves at a projected cost of less than one cent (US) each.

‘Such printed codes are offer far more security, functionality, and data-carrying capacity than traditional barcodes and have the potential to revolutionize the brand protection and supply chain management industries,’ said the company in a statement.

InkSure expects its SARcode chipless technology to be commercially available by the end of 2008.
