VeriPart wants a parts box to tell on a counterfeit
VeriPart proposes tamper-responsive NFC seals that let people check a car part’s packaging and trace its reported custody from factory to vehicle.
- For
- Drivers, garages, and car-parts distributors
- Worth noticing
- Its sample scan shows a custody trail from the factory through a distributor depot to an online retailer.
Field notes
The described process records scans at stock hand-offs, then has a garage scan the seal during fitment so the part can be associated with a vehicle VIN. The sample scan displays a custody trail across three points, while the homepage says duplicate seals scanned in different places can be flagged. It also lists separate driver and garage pricing; its field-testing and patent-application statements are claims made on the site.
