DARMSTADT, Germany, Jan. 7, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Merck, a leading science and technology company,
today launched 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 stated, "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."
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.
The M-Trust™ portfolio of software and hardware is
first-to-market and built on multi-patented technology. The
Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering includes software that can be
easily integrated into existing workflows and processes, crypto
anchors that are adaptable to different security needs, and
corresponding reader hardware.
Built in-house at Merck, this technology is backed by the
company's legacy and expertise in product quality and security and
is designed to adapt to evolving technologies and regulatory
requirements, such as the EU Digital Product Passport.
The M-Trust™ platform is being launched in beta to offer
verified users an early invite to be part of the new product's
journey. Updates on the general availability will be provided in
due course. More information on the new platform and
developer-focused software development kits can be found at:
