Honeywell, iTrace and Securemarking Combat Counterfeit Activity in Aerospace with Blockchain

摘要

Honeywell is working with iTRACE and SecureMarking to bring transparency and increased security to the e-commerce market of aerospace products via blockchain technology. This first-of-its-kind process in the aerospace market will greatly simplify the complex regulatory and supply-chain landscape in the industry. Under the new process, the moment a part comes off the Honeywell assembly line, the identification plate receives a two-factor authentication marking. First, iTRACE's 2DMI data matrix is laser-etched onto the identification plate. Next, an invisible, high-security ink, provided by Honeywell's Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT) business and SecureMarking, a third-party authentication company, is applied.
