SECURIKETT Ulrich & Horn GmbH

The IoT cloud solution CODIKETT® is the digital response to the challenges of GREY MARKET, COUNTERFEITING and NON-TRANSPARENT SUPPLY CHAINS.

CODIKETT®, the digital product security solution from SECURIKETT®, allows you to identify and retrace every single product. Track & trace throughout the entire supply chain reveals all actual distribution channels. Direct customer communication bridges the gap between product and customer. Data analysis of all product movements generates valuable data for the areas of distribution, supply chain, marketing and production planning.

Ask for your CODIKETT® Test Kit at our booth hall 10 / D57 and test it with your own products.

CODIKETT® main features: 

•          grey market detection and traceability to the last known distributor
•          online verification for customers as well as for specified user groups
•          track & trace and monitoring of the distribution channels
•          dynamic  end-consumer communication and opportunities for end-to-end marketing
•          extensive data analysis of the entire flow of goods and recipients
•          supported code carriers (on/in the label): QR code, Data Matrixcode, RFID, NFC

CODIKETT® is compatible with the GS1 standard. The MILLEPEDIA® gateway ensures interoperability of all common standard formats.

SECURIKETT® supports you with planning and implementation.

Tapes seal external packaging and shipping boxes for transport. In order to ensure that the contents as well as the original products are not replaced along the supply chain, the tapes have to be tamper proof. The so-called VOID effect reveals a previously invisible, irreversible pattern as soon as the tape is removed or peeled off. Customizable (e.g. Logo, CI conform, text), the VOID effect is integrated precisely into the tapes. The customizable designs are difficult to copy and therefore provide much higher security than when purchasing a generic VOID tape "off-the-shelf”.

As a technology leader in tamper-evidence, SECURIKETT® can fall back on a wide range of proprietary VOID effects: e.g. three-color VOID, integrated microtexts, variable codes, VOID effects visible on light and dark backgrounds. With transparent VOID tapes, any text beneath remains legible. If transparency is not required, a VOID effect can also be designed from a multi-color image.

The design and VOID effect are not the only things that can be customized. Even the specifications of the VOID tapes can be adapted to the respective requirements of the customer’s packaging. A customizable adhesive concept tailors the type and weight of the adhesive, as well as the material combinations to the customers needs.

Every authentication technology has to rely on an effective tamper protection to avoid being transferred to another (faked) product. SECURIKETT® faced this core challenge and became a leader in the field of tamper protection with its innovative proprietary technologies.

Security seals from SECURIKETT® combine a broad range of security features:

•          tamper protection: prior opening indication
- fiber-tear seals
- self-destructive seals
- VOID seals: single- and multicolor, water and heat sensitive

•          security features
- overt: holograms / DOVIDS, guilloche printing, color shifting inks
- covert: micro text, security inks e.g. UV- and IR-absorbing, bi- and tri-fluorescent, Blue/Flash Red inks and more
- forensic: taggants / chemical markers

•          serialization / variable data printing of all common code variants as well as proprietary CODIKETT® codes possible

•          design and development of RFID / NFC labels including chip coding

Security seals from SECURIKETT® are always adapted to the specific requirements of the customer with regard to the technical implementation. The design may also be customized to match corporate identity. 

The range of products includes seals for folding boxes and shipping cartons, labels for identification and logistics, product labels, fashion hang tags and woven labels with unique codes, and many more.

SECURIKETT's almost transparent VOID seals are tamper-proof, leave underlying text and codes visible, and work on almost all cardboard surfaces. They safely meet the requirements of European and international standards:

·         Directive 2011/62/EU of the European Parliament, Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD)

·         ISO DIS 21976:2017(E) Packaging – Tamper verification features for medicinal product packaging

The tamper-evident VOID effect makes an initially invisible symbol or text appear on the packaging and the seal, as soon as it is removed. This effect is clearly visible and irreversible.

The transparent VOID seals offer a clear advantage over fiber tear seals and seals made of fragile material: information, e.g. statutory, is not hidden by transparent VOID seals! Transparent fiber tear seals and seals made of fragile material must only be placed where no text is located. It would no longer be readable when tearing the packaging or the seal.
Seals are also available with luminescence to facilitate presence control on the sealed packaging, even with highly transparent seals.

These seals are used and tested not only in the EU but worldwide on pharmaceutical packaging.  

Excerpt from ISO DIS 21976:2017(E) Packaging – Tamper verification features for medicinal product packaging: „Tampering of the sealing label or tape or opening of the packaging shall lead to visible, irreversible damage or change of the packaging and/or of the label or tape. The application of tamper verification features shall not compromise the readability of statutory information. The statutory text on the packaging should remain readable after opening the pack“.

Application
The label is applied to the top of the cork and additionally sealed with a shrink sleeve. The user can verify the product by using the camera function of his smartphone to scan the unique QR code or by accessing the same information on the integrated NFC tag via the NFC function included in most new smartphones.

CODIKETT® web service enabled by QR code & NFC tag
The variable QR code contains a unique product identification code. The content of the variable QR code is also encoded into the integrated NFC tag, which provides an additional security feature and gives the user the choice between two options of verification. Both the QR code and the NFC tag can be verified via smartphone. By this, the product to which the label is applied can be traced and verified via the CODIKETT® cloud-solution for product identification, product tracking and communication. The CODIKETT® web service is developed and provided by SECURIKETT®. The modular structure allows for the digital product security components to be tailored to each customer’s needs. The most important business uses are:

• Grey market detection and identification of the trader 
• Customer communication
• E-verification of original products (can be configured flexibly via rules)
• Track & Trace - from labelling to the end customer - and back
• Packaging aggregation
• Data analyses for all product movements (GEO Tracking)

With the CODIKETT® Cloud, the products turn into intelligent communicators and act as carriers and transmitters of information. Thus they participate in the world of IoT and meet the demands of modern consumers on Smart Packaging.

Printing expertise
This label is designed for the identification and authentication of high-end spirits and premium wines. The classic design combined with the matt laminate gives the label a luxurious look and feel. The UV luminescent glossy varnish, the only ink not printed from reverse, highlights the flower pattern in the label design and creates an eye-catching effect in a club atmosphere. The silver cold stamping foil with yellow/gold varnish integrates the QR code as a design element instead of just a technical feature. The NFC logo and the smartphone icon with the call “Scan here!” are additional incentives for consumers to verify the product.

Tamper evidence
When the label is peeled, the variable QR code, printed from reverse, and the NFC tag stay behind on the product. The leave behind layer is very thin and cannot be peeled without destroying it. This ensures that the variable code and the coded NFC tag cannot be reused on an illicit product. The “best security label” supplies the customer with a holistic concept that integrates both tamper evidence and digital security.
