Advanced Digital Supply Chain Solution

The exponential growth of digital technologies continues to drive the evolution of manufacturing supply chains into data-driven cyber-physical systems, increasing the vulnerability of data and industrial assets and exposing them to an array of multi-vector threats. Every time data moves throughout the supply chain, it creates cybersecurity vulnerabilities — risks include theft, malicious or accidental alteration, or misplacement of data. Identify3D helps enterprises curb these risks by securing intellectual property while assuring manufacturing repeatability and traceability.

Identify3D offers an advanced digital supply chain solution to facilitate secured data distribution related to the manufacturing of parts and ensuring exact authorized specifications are met. With this ‘secure container’ approach, users can simultaneously send protected data to hundreds of machines, enabling a decentralized manufacturing process where components are produced at the time and place of demand.

“Digitization of manufacturing has allowed companies to generate terabytes of data that inform how they do business, sometimes on a daily basis, from IoT, cloud computing or other smart factory technologies. We’re seeing a shift from physical to digital assets, and safe distribution of digital manufacturing data is key,” says Joe Inkenbrandt, co-founder and CEO of Identify3D. “Implementing digital manufacturing on an industrial level requires precise control over a sequence of complex processes to ensure that each part is consistently produced at the highest quality and is traceable throughout the digital supply chain. Identify3D’s solution will ensure that intellectual property is securely transmitted and deployed, improving and protecting the digital manufacturing lifecycle.”

Identify3D’s unique end-to-end integrated solution enables manufacturers to protect product and manufacturing data, certify authentication of users and machines, and enforces data security and control throughout the manufacturing process. Identify3D Protect - CAM and additive manufacturing (AM), creates a secure container while Identify3D Manage enables distribution and licensing policies for data usage within the container. In production, Identify3D Enforce allows applications and devices to access data based on a defined licensing policy.
