Key Capabilities

FeaturePrint® authenticates every physical item from a single photograph — with no labels, no barcodes, and no special cameras required. Greater than 99.9% accuracy. Zero false positives.

OEM Parts Authentication

Every genuine OEM part can be enrolled in FeaturePrint® at manufacture and authenticated at any downstream point — dealer, service center, aftermarket, or end of life. Stops counterfeit and fraudulently substituted parts before they reach a vehicle.

Gray Market Parts Detection

FeaturePrint® traces each part from its authorized supply channel. Parts appearing at unauthorized distributors, in unauthorized markets, or outside their intended region are immediately flagged — giving OEMs item-level visibility into gray market activity.

Warranty Verification

Warranty fraud costs automotive OEMs billions annually. FeaturePrint® verifies that the part being claimed under warranty is the exact genuine enrolled item — not a counterfeit, substitute, or part from a different vehicle — before warranty payments are made.

EU Digital Product Passport for EV Batteries

EU DPP regulation mandates persistent digital identity for EV batteries and automotive components. FeaturePrint® provides the physical anchor — each battery cell or module's surface becomes its DPP identity, enabling traceability from manufacture through recycling with no label modifications.

The Cost of Counterfeit Automotive Parts

The global counterfeit automotive parts market exceeds $45 billion annually. Counterfeit brake pads, steering components, and safety-critical parts cause vehicle failures, injuries, and recalls. Gray market parts evade warranty controls and expose OEMs to unauthorized competition in their own service networks.

FeaturePrint® addresses all three threats — counterfeits, gray market diversion, and warranty fraud — with a single photo-based authentication platform. No labels to copy. No barcodes to scan. No visual inspection to fool.

EU Battery Regulation & DPP Compliance

EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 mandates battery passports for EV batteries from 2026. FeaturePrint® provides the physical identity anchor for each cell and module — enabling full lifecycle traceability from manufacture through second-life repurposing and end-of-life recycling, without modification to the battery.
