Alitheon, a leader in advanced machine vision, has created FeaturePrint – a system that that securely links the physical and digital worlds. The patented FeaturePrint technology uses artificial intelligence and off the shelf cameras to register and subsequently identify even visually indistinguishable objects with statistical certainty. This novel capability delivers supply chain intelligence and ensures product authenticity, for producers of industrial parts, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, additive manufactured parts, precious metals, documents, and luxury goods and other high value assets.

Alitheon’s FeaturePrint is an advanced optical AI technology that digitizes for items and products, what fingerprints are for people – a one of a kind, unique identifier that does not require you to mark, modify or add anything to the item. Using just a camera, feature printing enables authentication, identification, and traceability of individual items out of millions of similar objects. With feature print, counterfeits are avoided, misidentification of parts is eliminated, and the use of wrong products is minimized. Just take a photo of your part, product, item, (or even the back of your hand). Use a mobile phone, industrial camera, or perhaps even the existing cameras on your production or assembly line. No changing, adding, or manipulating. No pixy dust, holograms, barcodes, or stickers. Our optical AI algorithms automatically identify and codify  the unique attributes and features inherently existing on the surface of the item. It then creates a one-of-a-kind FeaturePrint (kind of like a digital fingerprint) that can be used for authentication, identification, or traceability.  You, your customer, your distributer, your quality control, or anyone you choose, can take a picture of the item and authenticate it, identify it, or trace it easily and flawlessly.
