Keep counterfeit components out of critical assemblies in India
Fake semiconductors and spare parts enter supply chains through brokers and grey markets, a live risk for Indian electronics and equipment manufacturers. SNOWLEOPARD® marks boards, housings and connectors indelibly for incoming inspection.
Component fraud with safety consequences
Relabelled, recycled and out-of-spec parts reach aerospace, automotive and medical assemblies through legitimate-looking channels.
Remarked components
Recycled or lower-grade parts are remarked to premium specifications and sold as new stock.
Broker supply risk
Shortage-driven broker purchases bypass authorised distribution and arrive without verifiable provenance.
Counterfeit service parts
Aftermarket spares fail early, damaging equipment reliability and the OEM's warranty position.
Applied to boards, housings and connectors
Rugged industrial systems run around the clock on ordinary electricity, marking in seconds without lasers, inks or printers.
- PCB substrate and shields
- Connector bodies and backshells
- Enclosures and bezels
- Cable jackets and labels
- Anti-static bags and trays
Incoming inspection without a lab
Quality teams confirm authenticity on the receiving dock rather than escalating to destructive testing.

Industry & Electronics questions
How is a industry & electronics item authenticated in the field?
A single breath of warm vapour mist reveals the hidden security image, which disappears in seconds as moisture evaporates. No instruments, tools, lights or apps are needed.
Will the code affect our product or packaging design?
No. The code is invisible and inscribed submicron into the material itself, so artwork, finish and regulatory dossiers stay exactly as they are.
Can counterfeiters copy the mark?
There is nothing on the surface to scan or photograph. The microstructure code appears only momentarily under vapour and is etched into the substrate, making replication virtually impossible.
How does this fit alongside our existing serialisation?
SNOWLEOPARD® sits at the covert Level 2 tier and layers beneath overt features and forensic markers, strengthening rather than replacing existing QR, barcode or track-and-trace programs.
How is it integrated into production?
Desktop-size systems run inline or off-line, and high-speed web-film systems are fully customisable. Equipment runs 24/7 on ordinary electricity with no inks, lasers, solvents or consumables.
