Global Field Monitoring Programs & Services
Authentix’ global field monitoring programs are supported by our proprietary M3 Process (Mark, Monitor, and Measure) to allow for uncompromised product security and complete accountability from the point of manufacture to the point of distribution. Viewed as a key differentiator for Authentix, our field monitoring programs include upstream and downstream security measures such as:
- Printer Support and Security Assessments
Authentix has developed detailed Standard Operating Procedures and a Security Assessment process that is utilized for initial converter assessments and the ongoing monitoring of 3rd party printers who handle security materials on behalf of the brand owner. For each client application, Authentix maintains a global program manager and a program management support network that are immediately responsive to technical questions, issues, training requirements, or new projects that may arise at manufacturing site or 3rd party printer locations. This capability utilizes multiple Authentix personnel with specific sector expertise. - QC Testing/Retains/Counterfeit Incident Support
Physical retains of finished packaging components from every converter print run (job number) are returned to Authentix for confirmatory QC testing and archiving in our retain system. This information and the associated samples are available for case file support to any field investigations that may arise. In addition, Authentix provides laboratory expertise and services to support the analysis of suspect samples that may arise in association with field investigations and enforcement activities. - Supply Chain Production Data Management
Full records are maintained of security material usage and the associated finished security packaging that is produced from those security materials. This information supports a reconciliation process that enables security material usage to be closely monitored and investigated as may be required. This information also provides brand owners with a readily accessible database of detailed manufacturing information from all global manufacturing sites that are utilizing the security materials. Multiple Authentix resources are utilized for the collection, monitoring, and sharing of this information with our clients.
