Harrisburg, PA, June 1 -- CDMS, a longtime KODAK Value Added Reseller (VAR), announces the availability of the KODAK
TRACELESS Anywhere System for Anticounterfeiting, designed to help brand owners, companies and law enforcement agencies
combat counterfeiting and product diversion. The TRACELESS Anywhere System combines robust, proprietary marker material
with a discreet, handheld, field deployable reader. This combination enables users to effectively detect illegally
marketed products and merchandise.
"The complex nature of counterfeiting and product diversion poses many challenges for brand owners and law enforcement
officials," said Dr. Myra T. Olm, Director, Brand Protection Research and Product Development, Security Solutions,
Kodak's Business Solutions and Services Group. "At Kodak, we're constantly assessing this landscape and discovering new
ways to leverage our imaging and materials science capabilities to protect consumers by enabling companies to stay ahead
of counterfeiters."
The TRACELESS Anywhere System offers ease of implementation into companies' existing manufacturing or printing processes
to minimize impact on product and packaging processes. The proprietary marker material can be implemented on a wide range
of material types including plastics, foils, corrugated and flexible packaging, labels and documents. A variety of application
types can be used, including flexographic, offset, gravure, screen, pad and thermal transfer print methods.
The system's pocket reader enables companies to deploy a discrete field authentication strategy. The easy to transport,
battery-operated reader displays color coded LEDs to indicate the presence of different types of marker formulations.
Companies and brand owners work with Kodak to customize programming for specific tracking purposes. This adaptable function
also allows companies to regionalize and localize their brand protection strategies.
For companies seeking to safeguard products along the entire supply chain, the TRACELESS Anywhere System can be integrated with
other overt and covert offerings from the KODAK Security Solutions portfolio to build a multi-layered brand protection model.
"Our most recent developments will help companies establish stronger countermeasures against counterfeiting from point of production
to product distribution," said Roberto D. Colangelo, General Manager, Worldwide Services, Vice President, Kodak's Business Solutions
and Services Group. "Kodak's broad experience in deploying and implementing services in a variety of environments enables us to maximize
security while maintaining costs and existing processes."
KODAK Security Solutions bring together the resources of Kodak's vast intellectual property portfolio, along with expertise in material
science, digital imaging, document imaging, and graphic communications to create a broad portfolio of products and technologies that
