 Perfect monitoring of the SOLA spirit level supply chain. And that from pellet to pellet!What is the best way to monitor my product throughout its life cycle?
The digital product passport from R-Cycle, DPP for short, provides an excellent basis for this task. The product and recycling-relevant data can be queried in a simple manner using the DPP. The DPP can be opened with two different codes: a QR code or a digital watermark. Both can either be applied to the product as sleeves or labels or lasered into the injection mould as a 3D code. Digital watermarks are considered copy-proof, whereas a QR code is easy to imitate. Nevertheless, a QR code can be classified as 'safe’ in combination with the TAGTEC masterbatches from Gabriel-Chemie. The TAGTEC masterbatches from Gabriel-Chemie contain a rich selection of different light-stimulable markers that can be detected using special optical sensor technology from Sensor Instruments. TAGTEC-marked products have proven to be forgery-proof, especially when used in combination with the features provided by a DPP, thereby providing very robust and reliable supply chain monitoring. |

| Luminous Markers instead of Holy Grail Improved Sorting of Plastic Waste with Luminescent Pigments
The HolyGrail 2.0 Initiative aims to improve the sorting of plastic waste. For this purpose, digital watermarks containing information on packaging type, material, and usage will be applied on products. However, the method also has certain drawbacks. Here, luminescent pigments provide an alternative that is permanent and can withstand several processing cycles. ► Specialist articel on en.Kunststoffe.de |

| Optical INLINE sensors in plastics production and recycling A range of initiatives and technical solutions have been developed to improve the sorting of plastics and thereby increasing the recycling quota. A number of procedures use near infra-red procedures to differentiate between the base materials of plastics; others apply codes to enable the sorting and traceability of plastic packaging. Sensor Instruments and GABRIEL-CHEMIE have combined to develop a new technology which integrates a machine-readable signature in a range of plastic materials. ► Press release (Word/pdf) |

| Tracking the Invisible Inline Detectors Offer a new Method of Component Marking In the course of a comprehensive digitisation of industrial production and processes (keyword: Industry 4.0) a new method of marking manufactured components now offers previously undreamed-of possibilities. By way of an individual marking (a random distribution of fluorescent particles on the object surface or in the object matrix) a virtual key can be generated and can be used to save product-relevant data e.g. on the server (or in the cloud). Due to the random distribution of these fluorescent particles this "star code" represents a kind of "digital fingerprint". Already a few particles in the viewing field are sufficient to guarantee safe and robust recognition, with little required memory space per code. ► Press release (Word/pdf) |
