Enabling unique electronic security features for authentication and traceability, Andrews & Wykeham Ltd. and PragmatIC Printing Ltd. announced a collaboration to deliver a range of novel security products based on PragmatIC’s flexible electronic
circuits.

Beginning in 2014, Andrews & Wykeham is planning to commission a complete printed electronics integration and conversion line. This high-speed roll-to-roll facility will be targeted at a new generation of security foils and labels that leverage PragmatIC’s ultra-thin, flexible and low cost electronic logic.

Enabled functionality will include both overt visual features and machine-readable features, activated by RFID readers and smart phones. Such features have applications across many aspects of security, including personal identity, document authentication and revenue and brand protection.

Ultimately these capabilities will enhance Andrews & Wykeham’s THESEUS track-and-trace system, providing even greater security along with improved ease of use. PragmatIC’s technology will add the ability to track items without requiring line-of-sight, and to record security information directly within a label.

“PragmatIC Printing has a unique platform technology for embedding electronic intelligence into labels and foils, which we will leverage to offer a range of totally unique security products to our customers,” Jamie Willis, managing director of Andrews & Wykeham, said.

“We are excited that Andrews & Wykeham has adopted our technology to enhance their security offering, and look forward to their launch of new products next year,” Scott White, CEO of PragmatIC Printing, added.
