October 1st, 2010Challenging the use of GPS tracking
September 28th, 2010GPS technology is becoming more common and widespread in use. In the last week for example Google have announced the real-time tracking of airplane flights on Google Earth (based on data collected by Flightwise from the Federal Aviation Administration), Casio have announced a geotagging capability on a camera linking pictures and movements to GPS positions and points of interest, while the US military wants GPS capabilities in their Ipads (which stands for Improved Position and Azimuth Determining Systems, not their Apple gadgets). So for organisational and business use is all this GPS stuff gimmicky or can we get more use from the technology?
Why use tamper proof seals and labels?
September 24th, 2010
Tamper proof seals are used by organisations to track their assets and deter property and stock theft. Tampering occurs when the contents of a package or container have been removed, damaged, contaminated, or otherwise manipulated so that they now constitute something other than what is represented by the label or shipping manifest. Tampering is a clear attack on an organisation’s integrity.
Tamper evident seals add value to any sealed item and also help prevent shrinkage and loss of goods in transit. The new Stealthmark® Security Label provides true brand protection from counterfeiting and diversion. Yet it maintains the easy to use product identification and tracking capabilities of bar coding. The label combines many features in a cost effective and easy to use label.

Tracking is not authentication
September 7th, 2010With the alarming and growing trend of fake goods and counterfeit items, manufacturers are becoming increasingly concerned about product authentication. This is particularly so for pharmaceutical manufacturers, food and drink producers, the tobacco industry, car and aircraft part suppliers.
