Currently, actual methods based on QR (Quick Response) codes, holograms or other labels cannot protect the identity of the products and can be easily copied or manipulated and do not solve the security problems faced by most of the companies.

A Spanish Start-up, active in the area of software and security, has developed a blockchain platform that provides a dual solution:

* End-to-end product control and traceability certification and automation. The platform certifies and controls through an immutable identification of products and the inclusion of elements IoT the traceability of products throughout the supply chain, making decisions in real time to eliminate operational risks.

* Counterfeiting or manipulation protection and advanced product ID features with a Cryptotag uncopiable, unmodifiable and nontransferable that can be read by the final customer with a smartphone to demonstrate originality and origin.

Besides, subscribing to the automated control system, the user can digitize and manage the product through the supply chain eliminating the operation risk reducing logistics operation costs.
This tool allows its users to differentiate their brand, certify key product characteristics (ecological, sustainable,...), obtain marketing metrics and even create new business models such as the second-hand market.

Some features of the platform depending on the sector targetted are:

* Industrial environments
Pieces tracking and automatic packaging control.
Traceability and control for worldwide spare pieces.
Counterfeit product protection.
Intellectual product protection.

* Pharmacy
Traceability for pharmaceutical products.
Automated management for slots and expiration dates.
Health services management.
Operational and reputational risk management.
Reverse logistic chain automation.

* Agrofood
Automation and active control against operational risks for agro-food products.
Complete traceability to provide transparency to the end consumer.
Operational and reputational risk management.
Fraud control and protection.
Organic and cruelty free certification.

The Spanish SME is interested in technical cooperation with technology companies that provide advanced services to agri-food, healthcare, pharmacy or retailing sector.

Commercial agreements with technical assistance are also sought with appellation of origin producers for implementation and technical support.

Advantages & innovations

Advantages - The actual method based in QR, Holograms or other labels cannot protect the identity of the products and can be easily copied or manipulated and do not solve the problem. Innovations - Technology is immutable, in-copyable, untransferable and protect the products against counterfeiting and piracy. - Based on physical traceability, takes intelligent decisions to optimize operational process, save money in operations costs and enable to anticipate the difficulties in order not to lose sales.
