White Papers

Spare parts are crucial to keep cars running safely and reliably and ensuring high performance. Counterfeit spare parts are deceptive and dangerous; for example, brake pads that look genuine, high-quality products may contain sawdust instead of friction material, and the filter element in an oil filter may be made of old newspapers!

The annual cost of counterfeiting to the automotive industry is £28 billion. As counterfeits are designed to be as perfect replicas as possible, not even car mechanics and other professionals can recognize a counterfeit when they see one.

But there is good news for the automotive industry! Confidex and Sasken proudly present the Dynamic Parts Authentication^TM solution.
