CODEUS and True I/O Forge Strategic Alliance to Elevate Global Barcode Security with Blockchain Integration
Carlsbad, CA – In a significant development, CODEUS, an innovator in blockchain-based barcode solutions, has teamed up with True I/O, the creators of the Universal Communications Identifier (UCID). This strategic partnership aims to transform the landscape of global product tracking, verification, and security by integrating advanced blockchain technology with the UCID system, promising unparalleled security and transparency for businesses and consumers worldwide.
Daily, retailers worldwide process over 10 billion barcode scans, relying on the GS1 barcode system developed in the 1960s, which uses a static numbering protocol. This system is increasingly inadequate against modern sophisticated counterfeiting methods. CODEUS enhances barcode integrity with blockchain technology, offering real-time, unalterable verification of product authenticity and ownership with each scan.
The integration of CODEUS with True I/O’s UCID will allow stakeholders across the supply chain—retailers, distributors, and manufacturers—to instantly verify product identities, authenticate chain-of-custody, and confirm the legitimacy of hardware and software components, effectively combating the global surge in counterfeit goods, a leading criminal activity worldwide.
Erik Quisling, CEO of CODEUS, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “Our partnership with True I/O and the integration of UCID into our blockchain platform mark a pivotal advancement in product identification at the point of sale. This is a major stride toward securing peace of mind for businesses, governments, and consumers everywhere.”
A Fusion of Two Revolutionary Technologies
- CODEUS: Transforms standard barcodes into “smart codes” that leverage blockchain’s immutable properties to instantly verify product ownership, manufacturing licenses, and distributor authenticity. This shields both new and established brands from the rampant threat of counterfeiting.
