Automotive & spare parts
Authenticate safety-critical parts and trace every component across its life.
QR + NFCDPP
The challenge
Counterfeit spare parts, including brake pads, airbags, filters and steering components, enter supply chains and reach workshops and end customers. These parts fail safety standards and create direct liability for manufacturers and distributors. Grey-market diversion and undeclared remanufacturing further break traceability.
The SealTrust answer
SealTrust binds each part or packaging unit to a unique cryptographic identity verified at goods-in, at the workshop and at point of sale. Each scan confirms authenticity and exposes the full provenance, batch and certification record. Distributors and installers reject non-genuine parts before fitment.
What you get
1
Block counterfeit and non-conforming parts before they reach the vehicle
2
Establish end-to-end traceability from foundry or supplier to installed component
3
Strengthen warranty, recall and liability management with verifiable records
