Origin records
Keep a physical identifier connected with the registered source information.
Food & brand protection
Keep the origin story
connected to the product.
Support provenance and authentication with a physical identity established during production.
Discuss your applicationBrand protection
Add a physical check to an existing product-authentication process.
Traceability
Connect the item with production and handling records at configured checkpoints.
A documented application
Identity built into
the production label.
The Parmigiano Reggiano application integrated p-Chip microtransponders into casein cheesemarks with Kaasmerk Matec, connecting individual identities with origin records during wheel production.
It provides a tangible example of the technology in a long production cycle. Each new food-contact or brand-protection application requires its own material, attachment and process evaluation.
A configured workflow
Read. Match. Record.
Each checkpoint connects the physical item with the record the process expects.
- 01
Register at production
Associate the identity with the authorized origin or product record.
- 02
Read downstream
Check the registered item at an appropriate distribution or verification point.
- 03
Connect the evidence
Use the identity alongside provenance records and existing certification controls.
Application questions
Know what
to expect.
Does a chip independently certify origin?
No. The identifier connects an item to its registered record. Origin certification depends on the registration process and the controls of the relevant certification program.
Can p-Chip go into any food-contact application?
Material suitability is application-specific. The tagged construction and intended process must be reviewed for the relevant food-contact requirements.
Does this replace traceability recordkeeping?
No. Physical identity supports the connection to records. The organization still maintains the required traceability information and processes.
