Verify the item
behind the record.
A tiny chip. A permanent identifier. A direct connection between the physical item and the systems you trust.
Light-activated silicon.
Designed for identity at the item.
The missing connection
Your system knows
the record.
Does it know the item?
A label can be damaged, detached or copied. When its connection to the physical item becomes uncertain, the record alone cannot resolve the question.
p-Chip gives that item a fixed identifier. A reader captures it at the point of work, and the configured integration checks it against the record your process expects.
Meet the platformOne platform. Three layers.
From a physical item
to a usable record.
Small enough to go into the item. Connected enough to work with your enterprise.
01 / PHYSICAL IDENTITY
The microtransponder
A tiny silicon die with a fixed identifier. Embedded in or attached to the item, and activated by light.

02 / THE VERIFICATION POINT
The reader ecosystem
Handheld and fixed configurations bring the identity check to the bench, receiving dock or production line.

03 / THE ENTERPRISE CONNECTION
Authium software
Resolve the read, apply the configured check, and connect the event to the system that governs your workflow.

Read the researchA practical place to start
One checkpoint.
A measurable result.
Start where a missed or mistaken identity creates the most work. Define the conditions. Agree what success looks like. Then evaluate.
Plan an application review- 01
Define the item
Select the object, attachment and operating conditions.
- 02
Fit the workflow
Identify the reader, registration step and system connection.
- 03
Measure the result
Evaluate read performance, exception handling and record completeness.
Let’s make it work
Start with one
critical checkpoint.
Tell us what you need to identify, what it has to withstand, and where the record needs to go.
