Telesis Technologies Demonstrates Unique Marking Application for Wine Industry


Fremont, CA - Telesis Technologies Inc., a world leader in manufacturing standard and customized marking, coding and engraving equipment, demonstrates a unique commercial marking application for the wine industry.

iProof, a leading provider of authentication and integrated marketing solutions, has partnered with suppliers to develop a laser engraveable mask for high end glass containers and packaging. iProof's system utilizes a Telesis laser to embed unique iProof authentication strings into variable QR codes. These QR codes coupled with the iProof system provides for individualization, tracking, authentication and consumer marketing.

Variable QR Codes for Product Tracking, Authentication and Consumer Engagement
Variable QR Codes are a great way to digitally engage your consumers, track purchases and protect your brand at the same time.

Each bottle is laser etched with a single use (one time) variable QR readable code. Consumers would scan the code located on the bottle using the Integrated Proof Systems (iProof) unique mobile app to authenticate their purchase and learn more about products and events.

The mobile laser marking station for iProof was developed by Make Your Numbers, Inc. Make Your Numbers, Inc. combined the laser with a secure Windows based front end to manage and track the use of each iProof mark. The system was designed to provide easy start-ups and access in multiple locations. The cart includes an integrated laser marking station, fume extraction, beam shielding, as well as the operator interface and controls. The front end controls guaranteed that each unique (psuedo-random) PIN code was only printed once and that complete data logs were maintained relative to production information.

"The EVC solid state air cooled Vanadate laser has proven itself to be a very capable and cost effective next generation tool for coding and marking. It is ideal for marking on metals, foils, plastics and composites for the Food and Beverage, consumer, and confectionary markets. Having a working knowledge of these demanding market requirements, we've designed and manufactured a solid state laser that provides unprecedented lifetime having a diode lifetime exceeding 200,000 hours MTTF. Compared with other coding and marking technologies, the EVC Laser System offers a best in class level of reliability," said Merrill Apter, Vice President, Sales for Telesis. "Due to the rugged and robust mechanical and optical design, this laser marking system can operate in harsh industrial environments where shock, vibration and dust often cause problems for conventional marking equipment."

Telesis EVC Laser is integrated with the Telesis Merlin® II LS Laser Marking software, a Windows®-based package that comes standard with every Telesis laser marking system. Merlin® II LS offers a graphical user interface that makes coding and message design quick and easy.
