OpSec SmartCheck: Validating Holograms with the Ease of a Smartphone

OpSec Security has launched OpSec® SmartCheck, a proprietary, smartphoneenabled solution that uses artificial intelligence to validate optically variable devices (OVDs).

The aim of the solution is to offer stakeholders a highly reliable method of validating overt security features, in addition to visual checks with the naked eye.

While overt product authentication methods are important in enabling quick and easy product verification throughout the supply chain, organisations are increasingly looking to validate these visual checks with a deeper level of inspection, without the cost and complexity of covert methods such as taggants and infrared features, explained the company.

OpSec SmartCheck therefore combines the benefits of overt and covert authentication in one solution. Field inspectors can perform both quick visual checks and robust smartphone verification via the same OVD.

Using the OpSec® Insight mobile app, field inspectors can simply scan the SmartCheck-enabled OVD and receive instant authenticity validation without the need for security feature training or specialist hardware.
