Although microdot technology has been around for decades, it is widely regarded as a brilliant mechanism to protect assets as it uses the age old priciple of a needle in a haystack to ensure that when thousands of microscopic identifiers are deposited onto the surface of an object of value. The owner or policing authorities are enabled to positively identify the particular asset when it is recovered. Becuase of microdot technology's inherent ability to provide significantly high levels of positive identification, recovery rates of appropriately marked assets are also very high.
The nett result is that criminals generally avoid assets that have been microdotted because of the challenges that these assets present to them in their "reselling endeavours".
This very fact is bourne out all around the world - for example, where assets like vehicles are being microdotted, their theft rates usually drop by at least 50% and the recovery rate of stolen vehicles is as high as 97% in most cases.
This is indeed good news for anyone who is exposed to theft of valuable assets.
Holomatrix is in the unique position of having two types of microdot technologies at its disposal.
Through our various technology partners we have a polyester microdot which is used for marking security paper as an anticounterfeit feature as well as a holographic nickel microdot which is used accross a broad spectrum of environments and industries to protect assets and items of value.
