3S SIMONS SECURITY SYSTEMS GMBH - 100% protection and security with SECUTAG®

With SECUPRODUCT® we have developed a cross-industry solution for the direct marking of products. The micro colour-codes SECUTAG® form the basis of this solution. Spare parts in the mechanical engineering industry, in the automotive and aircraft industry can be secured against counterfeiting. From amplifiers to zips, SECUPRODUCT® enables the direct and legally binding labelling of originals. For an adequate product protection, the perfect adhesion to the product is decisive: SECUPRODUCT® is meticulously and precisely applied onto nearly all solid matters, among which metals, synthetics, paper products, glass, alloys and textile fabrics. For smaller productions and single pieces, the application can occur manually; for large serial productions, the colour-codes are integrated fully automatically into the existing manufacturing process.

Protection of primary and secondary packaging. Counterfeit-proof labelling is especially important in the pharmaceutical industry. Not only lifestyle medicines and cosmetic products are targeted, life-saving pharmaceuticals are also counterfeited. This development can also be observed in the market for spare parts. This is why we have developed SECUPACK®. Primary and secondary packaging from all industries are labelled as originals, for example folded boxes, tubes, cans, phials, blisters and closures made of different materials. With SECUPACK® a product's distribution channel can be uninterruptedly retraced from the manufacturer to the wholesaler and the retailer. Counterfeits are quickly withdrawn from circulation and do not make their way into the trade circuit. Especially with pharmaceuticals, it is crucial that primary packaging contains the correct medicine and is unambiguously identifiable as original.

Low quality and dangerous chemical substances in brand clothing imply loss of image and financial disadvantages for the original manufacturer. For the consumer these textiles can become an annoyance or even a health hazard. To prevent these risks we have developed an industry solution for the protection of fashion and textiles: SECUFASHION® identifies sports and lifestyle clothing, accessories and sports shoes as originals. SECUFASHION® can be applied in all clothing items and on nearly all materials, for example synthetic shoe soles and heat transfer beachwear. All kinds of labelling materials are also secured with the industry solution. This includes all textile and sew-in labels as well as hangtags, leather tags, care labels and other textile fabrics. SECUFASHION® is suited for application in all textile areas and is easily integrated into existing production processes.

With SECUART we have developed a solution for the fine arts market that protects all kind of artwork and antiques as well as expertise against forgery. Like a genetic fingerprint, SECUART® secures artists' work during the creative process. Museums and galleries can also mark their collections themselves or have them subsequently secured with SECUART by a qualified service team. Each artist receives his individual micro colour-code. The technology does not leave any aesthetic marks on the artwork. The code is applied with the transfer medium clear lacquer and is identifiable with a simple microscope. For archivists, experts and collectors, the unambiguous attribution of an expertise to a certain artwork is possible. Other official documents can also be identified and associated with a work of art. Artists and owners are equally protected against counterfeits.

With SECUDOC® counterfeit-proof certificates, reports, security papers, contracts and plans are issued. Signatures, business letters, credit cards and ID cards can also be protected against forgery. The colour-code is admixed to the transfer medium clear lacquer and can be easily printed or applied manually to the surface of the documents. SECUDOC® contributes its share to the prevention of document forgery and abuse. SECUDOC® enables forgery-proof documentation of entire distribution channels: transport documents like delivery notes and freight documents as well as papers for customs and other authorities are unambiguously identifiable as originals and can be attributed to a distinct delivery through the use of SECUDOC®.

Traceability codes like RFID or data matrix have established themselves in the area of product traceability. Yet they are not per se counterfeit-proof. SECUDATA® therefore combines the logistic advantages of the different traceability codes with the counterfeit protection of our micro colour-codes. Both codes are conjointly applicable onto the product, its primary or secondary packaging, labels or closure seals. The traceability system as well as the product can thus be identified as originals. Merchandise management data can be checked in databases worldwide. In a first step, the traceability code is verified. But only the verification of the colour-code unambiguously identifies the authenticity of the traceability code and the product. Additionally, counterfeit-proof delivery and freight documents as well as other accompanying documents can be issued. Customised seals and hologram labels, control seals and closures are also manufactured and protected against counterfeiting.
