Anti-counterfeit technology news in brief
Norway’s Thinfilm Electronics’ near-field communications (NFC) tags have joined the security features interfaced with the World Customs Organisation’s IPM online anti-counterfeiting tool, which is used by customs officers to help distinguish between authentic and counterfeit shipments in the field. The NFC labels – which have just been deployed by drinks manufacturer Diageo to protect Johnnie Walker Blue Label bottles – were first introduced in March. The NFC OpenSense and NFC Barcode products are the first technologies based on NFC to be included in the IPM Connected system, which links vendor technologies to the IPM database, according to TFE.
