A new TechCrunch profile examines SMX molecular markers and its Digital Material Passport Platform, which connect physical materials with digital information.
SMX (Security Matters) PLC said a newly published TechCrunch article examines its molecular marking technology and Digital Material Passport Platform (DMPP). The profile focuses on how manufacturers can verify that a physical material corresponds with the digital information associated with it.
The TechCrunch article looks at SMX’s approach to giving materials a persistent digital identity. The company uses invisible molecular markers embedded in physical materials, allowing them to be connected with digital records throughout their lifecycle.
Those records can include details such as a material’s provenance, composition and lifecycle history. The article considers how this connection may help establish whether the physical material matches the information recorded about it.
The DMPP is examined in relation to plastics, metals and textiles. The announcement also associates SMX’s technology with sustainability, recycling, textile traceability, precious metals authentication, material verification and compliance.
SMX said its platform can place invisible molecular markers directly into solids, liquids and gases. The company describes these markers as enabling materials to carry an identity that can be detected and verified throughout their lifecycle.
The TechCrunch profile follows other recent coverage of SMX in American business, technology and general-interest publications. The outlets listed by the company include Benzinga, the Chicago Tribune, Forbes, the Miami Herald, TIME and Rolling Stone.
