TruTag® can be used for the authentication of food, drugs, electronics, industrial components, and consumer products. The TruTag® security platform will help prevent counterfeiting, enhance the safety and traceability of food and medicine, improve tracking and logistics, assure product quality, and enable the Internet of Things.
