STRONGER BRAND PROTECTION
BETTER BRAND EXPERIENCES
The NTAG 213 Tag Tamper offers brand owners a strong
defense against various attacks on the supply chain,
from point of origin through retail to the consumer’s hand.
With just one technology, brand owners can engage with their
distribution networks and their customers, all in real time.
Brand owners can engage consumers through contextual
content messages prompted by real-time product status.
Interactions can include product specifics and helpful services,
and can serve to create deeper, more lasting consumer
relationships.
•
Product authentication to help fight counterfeits:
Digitally verify that a product is genuine, anywhere
and at any time, by letting consumers (or field inspectors)
verify unique product identifiers and the originality
signature – with a single tap of their NFC phone.
•
•
Tamper evidence to secure product integrity:
Detect whether a product has been interfered with
or opened prior to sale. Consumers (or inspectors) can
instantaneously access the product status and confirm
that the tamper loop is intact, by just reading the tag
with an NFC enabled device.
Pre- and post-sale messaging:
Before purchase, messages can include product
information, reviews, use-by dates, provenance, vouchers,
and more. The NTAG 213 Tag Tamper can also report on
the state of the product or package seal (factory sealed
or open), to verify the item has been handled properly.
After purchase, messages can include services, loyalty
rewards, access to social communities, e-commerce,
and more – extending the dialog and building loyalty.
•
Dual-state applications:
Use the current status feature to support dual-state
applications, triggered by the end user. Unlock a new
character on a toy, prompt a Like on social media,
or initiate a different sound bite.
•
Real-time usage monitoring:
Gather important information about customer interests
and behaviors, and analyze product usage
and performance by monitoring interactions in the cloud.
•
•
Authentication for the supply chain:
Since each product can be assigned a geographic area
and distributor, brands can verify the authenticity of the
supply chain and detect any market or channel diversion.
Real-time location monitoring:
Information about location, time, and actions, based
on unique tag identifiers, enables rich data analytics in
the cloud. Brand owners can identify clusters
of counterfeits or tampering, and groups of products
at a wrong location, to take corrective action.
