Nosco helps drug and device makers authenticate brands with multi-level technology.
 

Mass serialization is a proven technology to authenticate and develop an e-pedigree. By utilizing an existing infrastructure of bar code technology, mass serialized numbers can either be a “bridge” to radio frequency identification (RFID), or complementary. Randomly generated numbers can be delivered to the brand owner through secondary packaging.

Mass serialized numbers can be digitally printed stand-alone numbers, or can be incorporated into existing bar codes. At points in the distribution network, the code is verified against a database of authentic codes. Bar codes allow numbers to be authenticated throughout a distribution channel. When read, the bar code-enabled database begins developing the electronic pedigree for the product as it moves its way through established points throughout distribution. Information is accessed by the brand owner to determine if the product is at the correct point at any given time.

Nosco incorporates overt, covert and forensic security features, such as color-shifting technologies, taggants, Verify Brand mass serialization, and dynamic Orbid codes, into folding cartons, labels, and Fix-a-Form multi-panel labels. Nosco believes in a Life Cycle Management approach offering independent expertise to identify, select, and implement security technologies.

According to Gregg Metcalf, industry market manager for Nosco Security Protection, “Every situation is unique. Nosco’s approach is to help customers develop and implement a multi-generational security strategy over the life of their brands. Most options can be implemented immediately and are rotated over time.”

Nosco’s primary focus is to help make it easier to:
