Tens of Millions= Secure access, test tubes/blood samples, toys
Hundreds of millions= Laundry, library, livestock, logistics, assets security
Billions = Pallets, cases, air baggage, smart paper tickets, banknotes, financial cards, parcels drugs, archiving
Trillions= Supermarket barcodes, brand protection
Yearly Market PotentialSource: IDTechEXToday, no more than several hundred million RFID devices
are sold yearly.

How our Technology Works
The existence of diffraction has limited the extent to which symbols or images (such as barcodes) can be compressed.
Diffraction is the bending, spreading and interference of waves when they pass by an obstruction or through a gap. When a bar code symbol is placed too near another symbol, its waves interfere with those of its neighbour (diffraction) and vice versa, making it impossible to accurately read either bar.
This limitation has restricted the density with which symbol based codes can be printed, and therefore the minimum size required for machine-readable codes. By extension, this has also limited the number of digits which can be used, for example, in barcodes.

Technology: Diffraction Phenomena
Current technologies do not take into account that the diffraction phenomena are predictable. That is, it is possible to place 2D objects within extremely high density, yet still use deductive methods to identify them
Although the labels produced using this method are 2-dimensional, the phenomena itself produces a 3D effect. In this way, it is possible to derive the exact position of the label, even if behind an obstacle. This capability minimizes the challenge of correctly identifying objects that are located directly behind other objects (“collision”)

Technology: Using The Diffraction Phenomena
Our approach : devise a code of simple objects together with algorithms for interpreting the phenomena produced when they are printed close to each other
Depending upon the wavelength used to query and transmit the information and the code used, it is possible to print the desired level of information in small areas
• No silicon chip required
• 96-bit printed code consumes only 10% of the conductive ink required for a printed RFID antenna
Detection principles based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Interferometer Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) and RF Holography (RFH)

Each code produces a unique image.Red colors indicate the presence of code informationImage processing algorithms detect the image and extract its information
Segmentation of label information from backgroundMultiple image separationFurther analysis of the image completed only in the labels area
