About Microdot Technology

Microdot technology has been used by the military for espionage purposes, and by anti-fraud and corruption authorities to mark gambling chips, for decades.

As an asset-marking and identification tool to reduce the marketability of stolen goods and deter theft, microdot technology has gained widespread acceptance in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Russia.

In South Africa, the use of microdot technology is gaining momentum and as awareness grows, microdots (special polymer-based devices which can carry a unique identification number) are expected to become one of the most effective and affordable means of securing the identity of assets and deterring theft. Local and international statistics show that the use of microdot technology to entrench the identity of vehicles leads to 50 to 60 percent decrease in the number of stolen and hijacked vehicles.
