Electronics
In electronics, where a component inside a device came from matters as much as the device itself. Spectrace makes origin travel with the product and with its record.
Can you show where the component in your device came from?
The longer the supply chain, the less clear it becomes which part came from where. When a problem appears in the field, responsibility becomes a matter of debate.
- Unclear origin in component supply
- Counterfeit products and accessories
- Warranty and return processes
- Unauthorised online sales
Where the sector stands
In electronics the supply chain is long and a device is made of components from dozens of sources. The longer the chain, the less clear it becomes which part came from where, and when a problem appears in the field, responsibility becomes open to debate.
The same uncertainty exists on the sales side: the source of accessories and spare parts listed under the brand’s name is usually outside its field of view. A signature bound to the product together with a record bound to supply makes both sides visible.
How Spectrace approaches it
A signature bound to the product and a record bound to supply.
Mark the product
Grafex places an invisible signature on the product or its packaging, so verification works in service and in the warehouse.
Record the supply
Tagvex follows each unit by its own number, matching component and device records.
Watch the channel
Authex follows use of your brand across online marketplaces.
What you secure
When origin is known, three outcomes follow.
Product safety
A component that lacks the expected quality can be caught before it enters a device.
After-sales cost
The failure of a product you never made does not land on your warranty account.
Channel order
Unauthorised sales become visible and are documented.
Frequently asked
Can it be applied to small components?
Marking can be applied to the part or its packaging; scale and surface are assessed during technical review.
Does it cover our suppliers?
The record can be built to span the supply chain; scope is determined by your contractual structure.
Does it help in returns and warranty?
Whether a product arriving at service came through the channel is read from the reading record.
