Presentation Summary

  • By using weakly conducting inks, low-cost invisible electric tags were demonstrated.
  • An integrated, low-cost reader device was developed for reliable close-range detection of printed electric codes on various substrates.
  • The electric coding technology is mature for applications in packaging industry, product authentication, forgery and counterfeit detection etc.
