DATADOTTM Technology
Individually inscribed "microdots" were originally developed by the United States military in the 1940s to covertly “tag” or identify items. It became obvious the tiny plastic discs would be useful for espionage – the grain-size message carriers were very easy to conceal and transport.
It was not until the early 1990s, with the advent of laser etching, that microdots became a commercially feasible product. A U.S. engineer was the first to develop a low-cost process to inscribe information on to thousands of microdots in a short period of time. The first application of these new microdots was in the casino industry. Thousands of fake casino chips are manufactured and gambled through casinos worldwide, but in 1995 authentic chips were permanently marked with microdots, making it obvious which chips were the fakes.
The U.S. manufacturer of microdots was bought by Australian interests to form DATADOTTM Technology Ltd (DDT). The company has since grown, and has grown to become a global leader in identification technologies. Today, DDT is protecting personal and commercial assets in 21 countries, across a variety of industries and products.
How Does DATADOTTM Work?
DATADOTTM are a state of the art identification and anti-theft security system applicable to most assets. The product consists of polyester substrate micro-dots, each the size of a grain of sand, onto which unique information is laser etched. These unique dots come pre-mixed in a UV based adhesive for ready application onto assets such as laptops, stereos, mp3 players, business assets, cell phones, tools, electronics, and other high value items. Police need only to locate a single DATADOTTM to confirm the asset's true identity. Simple 50x magnification is all that is needed to read a DATADOTTM containing multiple lines of a police-traceable code. Each code is unique and cannot be manufactured again. In essence, DATADOTTM are "DNA for your Property”.
