From Design to Recycling
Complete Product Lifecycle Visibility
markUID redefines object lifecycle management by providing unparalleled visibility from conception to recycling. With our platform, you have real-time insight into every stage of your product's journey.
- Pre-Production Planning
- Begin tracking before physical production with our seed UID system. Establish digital identities during the design phase, allowing for seamless transition to physical production. Create templates and plan object hierarchies in advance.
- Manufacturing and Quality Control
- Document production conditions, component relationships, and quality checkpoints with precision. Our versatile metadata system captures critical parameters while our immutable ledger ensures data integrity for compliance and quality assurance.
- Distribution and Sales
- Track exact contents of shipments at the individual unit level. Maintain continuous visibility as objects move through your supply chain with location-aware check-ins. Monitor environmental conditions and handling throughout transit.
- Customer Ownership and Usage
- Enable customers to verify authenticity with public registry access, while keeping sensitive information protected. Streamline warranty registration and customer support with complete product configuration data instantly accessible.
- Service and Maintenance
- Build comprehensive service histories accessible to authorized technicians. Document repairs, part replacements, and preventive maintenance with precision. Analyze service patterns to predict and prevent failures.
- End-of-Life and Recycling
- When objects reach the end of their useful life, our formal obsolescence process maintains complete historical records while clearly indicating retired status. Facilitate regulatory compliance for disposal and optimize recycling processes with detailed material composition data.
