Company Overview
Arylla, headquartered in Kitchener, ON, Canada, is a manufacturer within the industrials sector, specializing in the development of innovative tagging solutions using proprietary nanotechnology ink. The company operates partly remotely with its small team of six members, and holds offices in Kitchener and Milan.
Technological Innovation in Tags
Arylla has developed advanced printable tags that offer a cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional NFC solutions. These tags leverage proprietary ink, which is nanotechnology-based, invisible to the naked eye, and can be printed using legacy commercial printers. This ink is applied to various materials including woven labels, packaging, and hand tags, meeting durability standards for outdoor gear, and is approximately one-ten-thousandth the size of a human hair.
API and Software Integration
Arylla provides scanning software APIs that enable tags to be read by any smartphone and integrate with widely-used applications such as WeChat, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. This flexibility allows developers to build a variety of services on top of the existing tag infrastructure, boosting product visibility and providing real-time updates across various channels, including brand-owned call centers and retail partners.
Anti-counterfeiting and Traceability Solutions
Arylla’s technology addresses key challenges in product authentication and traceability. The invisible ink tags can be seamlessly integrated into existing production processes with no extra steps, thanks to partnerships with label suppliers. These tags offer unique activation rates of up to 15% for enhancing brand experiences, and can be harnessed for authentication purposes by legal, marketing, and operations departments, providing visibility at every stage from production to retail.
Partnerships and Applications
Arylla collaborates with various label suppliers to ensure low-touch process integration of their tagging technology. The ink can be applied to an array of fashion products, which makes it suitable for a wide range of industries. These partnerships make it possible to apply these chip-less, invisible tags at scale, allowing brands to improve customer experiences, track products through their entire lifecycle, and fight counterfeiting effectively.
