The Digimarc Difference

The Illuminate platform powers GS1 Digital Link and your entire product digitization journey.

Digital Twin
A Digital Twin for Every Product

A powerful way to give physical items a digital record, Digimarc digital twins go far beyond assigning basic data attributes by collecting real-world information about your products in real time. They serve as intelligent agents instructing and capturing product interactions when and where they occur.

While free QR code generators are widely available today, the arrival of GS1 Digital Link and expanded role of QR codes require a more robust security infrastructure. Trusted by central banks for more than 20 years, the Illuminate platform is underpinned by rigorous data privacy, user access controls, and a dedicated account support team.

Product Digitization Beyond QR Codes
