How does NU-ERA do this?
NU-ERA makes cost affordable the individual indentification of any item of interest in an organisation or process.
By achieving this, it is then possible to scan any item and learn of its life's history; including whether it has passed through a point of sale.
Importantly, NuEra-ID's Unique3 System of Individual Identification (NU-ERA)
- Can interface and inter-cooperate with any existing ID system, including GS1.
- Centres around a Registry of Unique Encrypted Identifiers that is effectively inexhaustible.
- Can be used with any "Automatic ID Technology" capable of representing 128 bits of data.
- Requires 60% less Effort than conventional hierarchical systems of identification such as GS1.
- Has involved the development of a novel barcode that is highly resistant to dirt and damage, a reader, a laser etcher and application software.
- Utilises Open Source Software to make its software freely available to users; providing every possible assistance to users.
- Is based on a Commercial Model where cost to users is small and income is derived from the sale of numbers and the provision of consultancy services.
