Summit Authentication for Device–Consumable Systems
In device–consumable systems, protecting and enhancing consumables is essential. The Summit Authentication Platform™ combines covert taggant identification with intelligent analytics to prevent counterfeits, activate premium device features, and improve the user experience.
By verifying genuine consumables, brands can:
- Unlock custom device functionality
- Prevent counterfeit or off-brand use
- Gain real-time market insights
- Drive recurring revenue and customer loyalty
- Strengthen competitive positioning
Summit is optimized for high-volume consumables, harsh environments, and offline operation.

Consumable Authentication
Each consumable is covertly marked with a taggant signature, which can be paired with an optical identifier such as a barcode to enable one- or two-factor authentication and SKU-level tracking.
Optional hidden features can also be embedded in printed graphics and verified with Microtrace’s Alerion™ AI Classification System for an added layer of product authentication and anti-counterfeiting security.
This protects:
Brand reputation and performance
Revenue from refill sales
Warranty and enforcement resources

Seamless Device Integration
Alerion™ Classification enables secure detection using cost-effective sensors or smart cameras without internet connectivity. This embedded, sensor-based system provides high security and precision without the complexity of RFID or image-based alternatives.
