Surrey-based cash protection product firm IBP Group has launched its new cash-in-transit robbery deterrent product named tracer-dot.
It’s described as a unique identifier system for use with cash degradation systems.
Each batch contains 20,000 0.3mm individual tracer-dots, each one engraved with a unique seven digit alpha numeric code, specific to that batch.
What they say
Neil Chrismas, Sales Director, said: "The new patented technology allows for simple identification and recovery of evidence as only 1 dot is needed in order to capture the unique code. Low cost identification is facilitated by means of a 60-100 x pocket magnifier already widely used by police and law enforcement agencies."
Each tracer-dot also has a holographic background, which can be customised with a user’s logos, aiding traceability and can be used with existing ‘DNA’ markers to assist with front-line identification of the origin of stolen banknotes.
The dots are made from a magnetic metal enabling investigating officers to use a simple magnet to recover the tracer-dots from clothing and other evidential sources, without the need for forensic expertise. According to the makers, this is raising the deterrent value of cash degradation systems.
