| Each datadot is laser etched with information directly linked to the owner of the asset. The adhesive shines under ultraviolet light, therefore, in daylight, the datadots remain hidden, which makes it extremely difficult for a thief to change or remove. Datadots can be etched with the motor vehicle’s unique VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or the boat’s unique HIN (Hull Identification Number), personal driver’s license number for home assets, or Australian Business Number (ABN)/Australian Company Number (ACN) for business assets. These enable the police to easily prove the true identity of the asset, thus increasing the potential of a conviction. When the team at Datadot Technology Ltd, formerly known as Microdot Technology Ltd, brought the new technology to fruition, they knew that they possessed a product that had massive global market potential. Company directors Ian Allen, Brent McLaws, John Richards and Chris Scotts applied for both domestic and international patent protection. Since then, the technology has generated global interest ranging from South Africa to Russia and many other nations. The technology is being used across various industries, though more popular in the marine and passenger vehicles industry. | |
