Primary industries

Sovereign currency

Banknotes

Authentication built into any banknote component: substrate, ink, fiber or thread. Intrinsic to the note, impossible to separate, and readable at every verification point from the teller to the sorter.

Medical Devices & Pharmaceuticals

Medical supply chains run under some of the toughest regulatory and physical conditions in manufacturing. Intelligent Material® goes into the adhesive, ink, plastic and label itself, survives sterilization and the cold chain, and reads in a second at the line, the pharmacy and the operating room.

Implementation

How deployment works.

NovaVera fits into the manufacturing and supply chain you already run. A typical engagement moves from technical evaluation to full production in about four months, in four structured, low-disruption steps, and you decide after each one whether to go on.

  1. 01
    Weeks 1–2

    Discovery & Fit Assessment

    We evaluate your product substrates, manufacturing process and authentication requirements in a working session with our scientists. Most common materials (ink, fiber, plastic, film) are fully supported.

    You getA written fit assessment, the recommended crystal and the detection method for your process.
    Decision pointgo on, adjust, or stop
  2. 02
    Weeks 3–16

    Material Integration & Pilot

    Intelligent Material® goes into samples of your own ink, plastic, fiber or adhesive (3–6 weeks in our lab), then into your production line at low concentration. We validate signal consistency and detection accuracy before full deployment.

    You getTest data on your own samples, then pilot batches read successfully on your line.

    Detection Workflow Setup

    Readers, the phone app and tracking software are configured for your verification points: manufacturing, distribution or point of sale, based on your supply chain.

    You getReaders in hand, checkpoints defined, and the people who check trained.

  4. 04
    About 4 months from start

    Production Rollout & Support

    Full-scale production begins, with NovaVera providing ongoing technical support, calibration and platform updates as your program scales. Supply runs under a long-term solution contract or a short-term data-collection contract.

    You getA supply agreement, a quality plan under our ISO 9001 system, and a named team.
A fraction of a cent per item. The crystal works at parts-per-million loadings in an ink, plastic, fiber or adhesive you already use. Safety and technical data sheets are available under NDA.
