On-product security and information solution combats massive counterfeiting and diversion problem
EMERYVILLE, CALIFORNIA ─ February 18, 2016 — TruTag Technologies, Inc., developer of an innovative, edible product intelligence solution addressing the trillion-dollar global counterfeiting and diversion problem, today announced that it has been named a 2016 BIG Innovation Award Winner. TruTag joins the company of 46 elite businesses in this annual business awards program, which recognizes those who have brought new ideas to life and seek to change the way we all experience the world.
Last November, TruTag Technologies augmented its groundbreaking security solution with a first-of-its kind debut: a hand-held, high-performance optical detector. Employing advance satellite imaging technology, the Model 4100 detector can authenticate thousands of medicines, electronic components, industrial parts, packaged goods and other items marked with TruTag® microtags in a matter of seconds, extending its authentication and security abilities to industries with high-volume and high-value—often life-critical—products, parts or components. The solution is now poised to change the future of product authentication – across multiple industries.
“This year we saw new innovations from virtually all industries. It is clear that the role of technology in improving business results and consumer experiences is accelerating,” said Russ Fordyce, managing director of the Business Intelligence Group. “We are thrilled to be honoring those who are leaders in the business of innovation. This year’s winners are an amazing group of organizations that are laser focused on improving the daily lives of so many.”
