Laser-Applied Digital Watermarks for Reliable Identification

Laser-Applied Digital Watermarks for Reliable Identification

Ensure durable, high-integrity product authentication with laser-applied digital watermarks, providing lasting security, traceability, and verification for your physical goods.

Key Drivers of Laser-Applied Digital Codes

v
Product Traceability & Anti-Counterfeiting
  • Digital codes enable seamless product tracking across the supply chain. 
  • Unique identifiers help verify authenticity, preventing counterfeit goods. 
  • Essential for industries like pharmaceuticals, automotive, and electronics, where precise tracking is critical. 
f
Regulatory Compliance
  • Many industries require permanent markings for safety and legal compliance. 
  • For example, medical devices (per FDA UDI regulations) and automotive parts (ISO standards) require traceable codes. 
d
Quality Control & Manufacturing Integration
  • Enables tracking of individual parts during production. 
  • Supports automated defect detection and warranty claim verification. 

Advantages of Laser-Applied Digital Watermarks

Digital Robustness

  • Digimarc digital watermarks embed a seamless, high-performance signal across a broad surface area.
  • Built-in redundancy ensures functionality even if parts of the digital watermark degrade due to wear or environmental exposure.
  • Unlike traditional 1D codes and QR codes, which become unscannable when damaged, Digimarc digital watermarks remain permanently scannable.

Application Flexibility

  • Digital watermarks adapt to various sizes, placements, and orientations making them ideal for small or irregularly shaped items.
  • Unlike conventional codes, they don’t require large flat surfaces for placement.
  • Compatible with multiple laser techniques—including engraving, etching, embossing, and marking—without compromising physical integrity.

Laser ISSE: Pioneering the Future of Digital Laser Watermarks

By integrating Digimarc's cutting-edge digital watermarking technology with Laser ISSE’s advanced laser solutions, customers can seamlessly track, trace, and verify the authenticity of coded parts with unprecedented precision and reliability. 

Brent D. Kelley, CEO of Laser ISSE USA

“Covert and ubiquitous digital watermarks are ideal for industrial and manufacturing purposes because they can be etched into a part before painting or coatings are applied while withstanding even rough industrial settings' normal wear and tear – and read even if a part has been crushed, bent, or damaged."
