Works with virtually any material including metals, plastics, composites, and textiles Soſtware algorithms generate a statistically-certain identity for each item Every object reveals itself as data for use in traceability applications www.alitheon.com A BETTER WAY TO IDENTIFY PRODUCTS & PARTS Businesses lose trillions of dollars each year because individual items are not correctly identified even with exotic labels, etchings, or handling procedures. Alitheon’s system is different. Your products are reliably traced through image analyses performed at the speed of soſtware. With only a camera, every object reveals its own inherent digital fingerprint that endures through its useful lifetime. The true, precise identity of each item is unlocked without any physical contact or alterations. HOW DOES IT WORK? FeaturePrint soſtware “sees” and converts the microscopic surface details of gears, fasteners, circuit boards, or even gold bars into a mathematically provable identity. Though two objects may appear identical to the naked eye, digital photographs and algorithms reveal thousands of tiny physical points of interest to prove uniqueness. Automatic processing transforms these details into a digital code, or FeaturePrint ID, ready to connect to your existing workflows. Using this “no-touch” method, parts or assemblies can be registered and serialized at key supply chain and manufacturing sites. Aſter delivery, an object may be authenticated with a camera, its traceability history updated from anywhere in the world. KEY CAPABILITIES ■ Every item’s surface provides a unique ID ■ Soſtware-based system is suited for factory or field use ■ Supports high-throughput, continuous processing of goods ■ Modern system design, supports cloud or on-premise infrastructure, integrates with existing IT platforms ■ System activity generates reporting data for process control, audit records, or time/series analysis KEY BENEFITS ■ Universal traceability platform for all types of goods ■ Retrofits existing physical production lines, operator stations, and process control points ■ Enhances existing business systems (PLM, MES, ERP) with data to track individual components or finished goods ■ Inherently tamper-proof, with no storage of product class information, images, or private data ■ White label ready for customers and service partners ■ Simple licensing model to support wide range of use cases Every industry struggles to trace its manufactured goods.

A BETTER WAY TO IDENTIFY PRODUCTS & PARTSBusinesses lose trillions of dollars each year because individual items are not correctly identified even with exotic labels, etchings, or handling procedures. Alitheon’s system is different. Your products are reliably traced through image analyses performed at the speed of software. With only a camera, every object reveals its own inherent digital fingerprint that endures through its useful lifetime. The true, precise identity of each item is unlocked without any physical contact or alterations.
HOW DOES IT WORK?FeaturePrint software “sees” and converts the microscopic surface details of gears, fasteners, circuit boards, or even gold bars into a mathematically provable identity. Though two objects may appear identical to the naked eye, digital photographs and algorithms reveal thousands of tiny physical points of interest to prove uniqueness. Automatic processing transforms these details into a digital code, or FeaturePrint ID, ready to connect to your existing workflows. Using this “no-touch” method, parts or assemblies can be registered and serialized at key supply chain and manufacturing sites. After delivery, an object may be authenticated with a camera, its traceability history updated from anywhere in the world.

NO-TOUCH TRACEABILITY™With Alitheon, you update your existing processes to see your products and parts in a whole new way.
SIMPLE INDUSTRIAL RETROFITSIntroducing contactless, accurate traceability from Alitheon does not need to disrupt your sites and operations. Imaging and computing elements install easily and run with continuous duty. Algorithms are resilient to part changes due to contaminants, wear, or varied orientations. With the statistical methods of FeaturePrint ID, there is no guessing: false positives are blocked, giving you the certainty you need for a global solution.
FIT FOR YOUR WORKFLOWWhether for highly-crafted or high-volume products, Alitheon’s system is based on a simple plan: introduce cameras and software where they are most helpful. Integrated stations can provide user interfaces and feedback, or they can operate alongside fully automated, lights-out production lines. Batches of parts may be handled and automatically processed via trays, containers, conveyers, or other common equipment. Apps make it mobile.
DIGITALIZATION FOR THE BUSINESSAlitheon’s system carries no legacy. Its essentials are modern optics and software. This all-digital architecture lets you meet Industry 4.0 traceability challenges with the smallest footprint possible. For customers and partners, you can offer all new digital services, certifications, and insights through the products you already make and distribute today.
