Intelligent Packaging Technology for Authentication and Consumer Engagement 

Microtrace’s patented Summit™ Authentication Platform powers real-time product identification, authentication, traceability, and consumer insight. Whether confirming genuine OEM consumables or flagging unauthorized or counterfeit products, Summit delivers instant, accurate validation in any environment, with or without connectivity.

One Platform. Total Security.

Summit integrates unique identifiers, detection systems, and analytics into a cohesive solution engineered to eliminate vulnerabilities that weaken other anti-counterfeiting systems.

Every component is designed and optimized in-house by Microtrace scientists and engineers to ensure accuracy, performance, and reliability from manufacturing to market. 

This fully optimized platform combines taggant chemistry, application engineering, detection, and analytics in a fully integrated system that prevents the security gaps competitors and counterfeiters attempt to exploit.

System Components

Unique Identifier

A secure signature combining physical and digital elements to provide SKU-level identification and authentication.

Taggant Signature

Spectral Taggant™ deployed in labels, taggant transfers, or licensed security ink.

Encrypted Data String

Proprietary encrypted data string adds a second layer of security alongside the taggant signature, enabling secure offline validation.  

  • QR codes available as finished labels or digital files  
  • RFID and NFC tags use standard encoding and work with existing reader hardware 

Detection System

Choose the integration level that fits your operation:

Mobile Application

Microtrace’s app authenticates encrypted QR codes using on-device processing. 

  • Works without constant internet access  
  • Private labeling and custom fields available 
  • Uses traditional 2D barcode software with advanced error correction

Mobile App and Handheld Detector

Our proprietary spectrometer, paired with the mobile app, enables secure identification and authentication of taggant signatures.

  • Intuitive interface for ease of use 
  • Rapid authentication with high accuracy
  • Cost-effective and reliable 
  • Resistant to sophisticated counterfeit attempts
  • Captures and reports user data for centralized visibility and analysis 

Device Integration

For OEM systems, identification and authentication can be embedded directly into your device.

  • Low-cost modules to authenticate taggant signatures or cameras to read both taggants and encrypted data in a single scan
  • Enables premium user experience and unique device settings per SKU
  • Prevents dangerous counterfeits from being used in your system
  • With connectivity, enables usage tracking for consumer engagement programs, and real-time market insights
