Covectra’s New Smart Label and Mobile Authentication Solution Combats Counterfeiting

Covectra debuted StellaGuard, a smart label and mobile authentication solution that will enable brand managers and consumers to easily and more accurately identify, authenticate and track genuine products.

This highly secure, cloud-based mobile authentication solution protects buyers, identifies illicit sellers, provides universal brand protection and strengthens track-and-trace capabilities.

Doing so also provides an additional layer to the pharma safety chain, as more companies distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, among other drugs and medicines along the supply chain.

“Our StellaGuard smart label and mobile authentication solution provides a new weapon for enhanced counterfeit detection and prevention, and when combined with our AuthentiTrack solution, will provide a comprehensive track and trace program which can be scaled to any operation,” says Steve Wood, Covectra’s CEO.
