Vcode is an optical labelling system with a back-end system to provide various functions. This was presented at the COMIT Community Day in Basingstoke on 14th September 2017. The event was hosted by Linked-Connect

5. Who, What, When and
Where...
When a VCode® is scanned by a smart device
it:
Links the user (if they have permission) to the
secure, cloud-based VPlatform®
The VPlatform® retains an audit trail of all
scans for our clients regarding:
WHO scanned the VCode® (the user ID)
WHAT was scanned (the VCode® and
associated action)
WHERE it was scanned (GPS location)
WHAT time the VCode® was scanned
How does it work?
6. Security
VCode® is intuitive, and demonstrates its superiority over other
solutions in two main areas...
VCode® allows permission
based access to information
(and payments) to be made to
ensure only the intended
recipient can receive access
to information and/or receive
payments.
The availability of 2.2
quintillion VCodes means that
there is a virtually
inexhaustible supply.
Allows permission based
access:Closed Loop Security:
Powerful end-to-end data encryption ensures that even if servers are hacked, the data is
completely unusable
Every VCode® is unique and
is generated using a
guaranteed, collision free
system (so VCode®
duplication can never
happen).
A VCode® can only be read
with the VCode® App (or
other approved systems e.g.
EPOS) so the VCode®
experience cannot be
reached or duplicated outside
of the solution.
7. VPlatformTM
With VCode® you can view data from every
scan in our user-friendly dashboard or download
the raw data files. This gives you valuable
insight to how your audience is engaging...
Analytics
VCode® makes it simple to launch,
manage and track your mobile
consumer’s transactional experiences
from one powerful system.
Manage
CodesManage and store your codes in
one place with a convenient user
interface.
VCode® is a Mobile Engagement
Platform that lets you collect and
analyse, from every scan, the
tracking data needed for effective
campaign coordination.
Sophisticated Consumer
Analytics Scalable
Geo-location
Secure
Detailed metrics, monitoring, and data collection are vital to successful campaign
targeting and business intelligence.
9. Traceability
(in 2016 VST were awarded the EU Seal of Excellence: Anti-Counterfeit and Traceability)
Log Worker
actions
• VCode® tracks every individuals
interactions
• Keeping an audit trail on workers
productivity
• Traces faulty products back to
specific
• Individuals Certification to perform
the function or for remedial training.
• The data is then available on the
platform for review.
Smart Maintenance
VCode® enables companies to link a
VCode® to a piece of machinery thereby
facilitating onsite problem resolution by
engineers.
This can be achieved through:
Access to the items previous fault
history;
• Who resolved the fault
• What parts are available
• Any instructions required to resolve the
issue – download video user guides
• Drone flight over damaged pipe identify
its accurate GPS-location

Location - Limit where the access to the information
And what time – working hours – what day of the week
Each Code Unique cannot be duplicated
Enable other systems to read the VCode – eg EPOS – Auto Number Plate Recognition Camera – DfT-DVLA
You can do all the above as long as you have PERMISSION!!!
