AlpvIsion – more than anti-counterfeit solutions
AlpVision is the world’s leader in anti-counterfeiting digital technologies for product authentication and counterfeit protection. In 2001, the company invented a breakthrough authentication technology, which is widely used today by Forbes 2000 companies. AlpVision reached profitability in 2003 and has grown steadily ever since. AlpVision’s digital anti-counterfeiting solutions for product authentication are applicable to a wide variety of items, including packaging and labelling, plastic and metal products, and high-value documents. Our anti-counterfeiting solutions are commercialized worldwide under license agreements as entirely customizable turnkey computerized systems.
One of our first fields of application was to provide anti-counterfeiting solutions to the pharmaceutical industry to help them spot counterfeit medicines and avoid public health issues. Driven by our stakeholders’ anti-counterfeit strategies, the focus of our anti-counterfeit solution was secondary packaging.
Our field of application was soon extended to primary packaging and then to various different industries such as tobacco, precious metals and automotive lubricants. More about those fields of application can be read in industries.
Starting in 2015, AlpVision extended its business activities by providing artificial intelligence-based products to various fields. AlpVision has been using AI since the early days, and we feel that our expertise in this field is of great use for application outside anti-counterfeiting activity. Today, AlpVision provides AI-based anti-counterfeit solutions in fields such as chemistry, pharmaceutical drug development, quality control, image analysis and understanding, etc.
OUR MISSION
In fast-growing mass markets, proliferation of counterfeit goods is high, with potentially adverse impacts on both end-users’ health and corporate performance. We aim to provide the simplest and most effective digital anti-counterfeit technologies for product authentication and counterfeit protection.
What is anti-counterfeiting?
Anti-counterfeiting methods are concepts, strategies and technologies which help companies protect their products and brands from being counterfeited or copied. With the globalization of trade sales in counterfeit goods, it is increasingly critical for medicines (which have an impact on public health) and other consumer goods to find solid anti-counterfeit strategies. This protects primarily the brand owner and their intellectual property, but also, more importantly, the consumer. To find out more about why brand protection is becoming increasingly important, please read our article on “Why brand protection is important,” and once you are convinced, you can find more information in the article “How to protect your brand from being counterfeited.”
