Your know-how – protected with Balluff RFID

More and more companies are affected, replication holds no bounds.  For companies, this results in violations of patent and trademark rights, loss of brand and image, not to mention price pressure on the original. And those are just some of the possible consequences. In the end, it costs your company not only significant loss of revenue but also threatens jobs.

Protection against counterfeits is a complex issue and primarily involves the following areas of action:

– Technology
– Product
– Information
– Process
– Legal

Only a unified, integrated approach can be effective here. Particularly in fields of action related to technology and products, RFID can help identify and trace the original. RFID alone is certainly not a solution – but it is a tool to help protect against counterfeits.

 

The Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau (German Engineering Federation) has established a working group with the title "Product and Know-How Protection" in response to the growing importance of this issue. BALLUFF is an active member of this organization.
