Improving Brand, Product and Packaging Security to Combat IP Theft in the Electronics Supply Chain seminar and exhibition

The UK Electronics Alliance is collaborating with the National Microelectronics Institute and Product & Image Security Foundation to organise a seminar aimed at raising awareness of and sharing best practice to combat the threat of counterfeit electronic components. The event will focus on potential solutions, especially the use of technology and practices to improve security in the supply chain by improving authentication and traceability of products and components. This full day seminar will provide: • A look at solutions and traceability systems that have the greatest potential to provide protection to protect the product and the packaging and aid electronic component identification - and how they can be supported by legal and official frameworks • An overview of current technology including holograms and optically based security devices; track and trace systems; marking systems including SMS messaging and internet codes; Molecular Computational Identification Devices (MCID), tags and taggants; and surface feature identification and random marking For more details, email ukelectronicsalliance@gmail.com
