Carlsbad, CA – CODEUS, a leader in blockchain-enabled barcode solutions, has partnered with True I/O, the developers of the Universal Communications Identifier (UCID), to revolutionize how global product tracking and verification are conducted. This partnership is set to significantly enhance security and transparency for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers by integrating blockchain technology into the global barcode system.
With over 10 billion barcodes scanned daily by retailers using the dated GS1 system from the 1960s, the need for a modernized approach is evident. CODEUS addresses this by employing blockchain technology to transform traditional barcodes into secure, immutable product identifiers. This innovation allows for the real-time verification of product authenticity and ownership.
The collaboration between CODEUS and True I/O’s UCID solution enables stakeholders across the supply chain to instantly authenticate products, verify chain-of-custody, and confirm the authenticity of components, directly addressing the global challenge posed by counterfeit goods.
Erik Quisling, CEO of CODEUS, stated, “We are excited to collaborate with True I/O and incorporate UCID technology into our platform. This partnership will fundamentally change the way products are identified at sale points, bringing security and peace of mind to all parties involved.”
