At its heart is the M-Trust platform, a cyber-physical solution that is linked to a new hand scanner. This platform uses Web 3.0 technologies to ensure the verification and authenticity of products and offers flexible adaptation to new regulatory requirements. Zebra brings expertise in mobile computing and identification technologies, while Merck contributes patented authentication methods.

Together, they aim to ensure a high level of security and trust along the value chain and provide high-quality data for AI systems. The new handheld scanner combines Zebra's TC58 mobile computer with Merck's SEC reader and enables the scanning of products and the synchronization of data with the M-Trust platform. The prototype was presented at Hannover Messe 2025.
