Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, launches a beta version of M-Trust, a secure cyber-physical trust platform, created to help solve the growing issues of product safety, traceability and counterfeiting.

Laura Matz, chief science & technology officer of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, states, “As expectations for product quality control rise, companies must ensure safety and transparency in their industrial value chains while complying with ever-tightening regulations. Until now, they may have struggled to fully digitalize assurance processes because machines did not meet human standards. M-Trust is a first-to-market, cyber-physical trust platform that enhances product traceability and authenticity by digitally empowering human capabilities in quality control processes. Designed for businesses that want to remain competitive in today’s connected world, this innovative technology is also poised to enable the novel business models of tomorrow.”

Key Takeaways:

• The M-Trust platform enables organizations to improve product quality and authenticity by immutably linking the physical and digital worlds. Powered by advanced Web 3.0 technology, the new offering supports the creation of digital twins for enhanced product security and the digitization of quality control processes.
• The platform allows customers to:

• Use crypto anchor technologies to link physical products to their digital identities, enhancing traceability and quality assurances throughout the supply chain.
• Work within a framework that enables them to build digital systems that translate human capabilities in quality control into more efficient and less error-prone machine-to-machine interactions – the platform can be leveraged to help machines identify objects with certainty and make verifiable claims about them.
• Integrate product authenticity into their systems, including the potential for smart contracts that verify data and automate agreements within a value chain.
