Alitheon provides the last solution you will need for identification, authentication, and traceability of parts and products with our fail-proof, simple-to-use FeaturePrint system. FeaturePrint is an advanced machine-vision technology that provides for items, what fingerprints are for people – a unique and persistent identifier for the one in millions. FeaturePrint serializes items. As such, it enables track & trace, eliminates counterfeits and gray markets, and reduces human error ....all with just a photo using a standard camera. No bar codes, No QR codes, No stickers, No tags, No invisible dust, No markers, No holograms, No special cameras, No special lighting, No Nonsense!
