SMX has successfully embedded its markers directly into the coating of readily available off the shelf NFC and RFID chips, enabling precise authentication and verification throughout their lifecycles, with the expectation that the coatings would mitigate risks associated with counterfeiting, unauthorized tampering, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

 

SMX’s proprietary coating technology has been shown in testing to enhance shelf chips durability and performance, as well as their resilience against common environmental stressors, hereby potentially enabling the extension of their operational lifespan and reliability. Additionally, the SMX coating has the capability to store data, adding a potential extra layer of functionality, resilience to heat (e.g. up to 150 Degrees Celsius), and additional protection against the elements.

 

SMX believes that its technology’s ability to provide authentication will extend into the wearable and flexible electronics markets, and its technology has been shown in testing to ensure that NFC and RFID chips integrated into apparel remain functional and secure under demanding conditions.
