Authentication and Traceability for Electronics and Semiconductors
Microtrace delivers covert and tamper-evident technologies to validate product origin, deter diversion, and maintain traceability across global electronics supply chains. Applied to subassemblies, components, or finished devices, our solutions integrate without affecting form, function, or performance.
Supply Chain Security, Built for Precision
In electronics, minor substitutions can lead to major risks. Counterfeit chips, diverted parts, and unauthorized modifications compromise safety, reliability, and IP. Microtrace provides verifiable identifiers to secure components from manufacturing to end use.
Applications include:
- Semiconductor chips and sensors
- Circuit boards and electronic modules
- Wire harnesses and subassemblies
- Finished devices and enclosures
- Components for industrial, medical, or defense
system
Prevent Substitution. Maintain Traceability. Verify in the Field.
Built for demanding environments, Microtrace technologies deliver scalable, field-ready protection without disrupting production.
- Authenticate parts without unsealing or dismantling
- Embed covert markers in materials or coatings
- Detect tampering, substitution, or diversion
- Maintain traceability across global manufacturing networks
Tamper Evidence with Built-In Authentication
Microtrace FIPS 140 tamper-evident labels combine physical protection with covert security. These pre-validated labels meet federal standards and offer field-verifiable assurance at access points and enclosures.
- Certified to FIPS 140 tamper-evident standards
- Customizable with serialization, barcodes, or branding
- Ideal for housings, enclosures, and sensitive electronics
