MENGENAI EPISOD INI
In this episode of U.S. Manufacturing Today (powered by Veryable), host Matt Horine interviews Roei Ganzarski, CEO of Alitheon, about the trillion-dollar global problem of counterfeiting and gray-market fraud and why it is a safety and national security issue in industries like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. Ganzarski shares examples including end-of-life aircraft engine parts sold as new and fake titanium used in aircraft, and explains Alitheon’s FeaturePrint technology, which authenticates individual items using standard cameras by capturing unique, random manufacturing “tolerance” features to create a digital fingerprint with zero false positives.
