Product Serialization

What is Product Serialization?

Product Serialization is the process of assigning unique identifiers, such as serial numbers or codes, to individual products or units during the manufacturing or packaging stage. These identifiers enable tracking and tracing of products throughout the supply chain, from production to distribution and beyond.

Unique Identifiers:

Acviss’s product serialization solutions assign unique identifiers, such as serial numbers, QR codes, or RFID tags, to individual products, enabling precise tracking and authentication.

Supply Chain Visibility:

By serializing products, brands gain visibility into their supply chain, allowing them to monitor product movements, detect anomalies, and improve inventory management and logistics.

Counterfeit Prevention:

Serialization helps deter counterfeiting by making it easier to identify and authenticate genuine products, enabling brands and consumers to verify product authenticity and combat counterfeit goods.

Regulatory Compliance:

Many industries have regulations requiring product serialization for traceability and safety purposes. Acviss’s solutions help brands comply with these regulations and demonstrate their commitment to product quality and safety.
