Authentication and consumer engagement solutions creator YPB Group Limited (ASX: YPB) is pleased to announce that it has signed a 3-year agreement to protect and support an invention for the global mining and wheeled heavy machinery generally.

-
Enable automated maintenance logging for service schedule compliance.
This contract demonstrates YPB advancing the monetisation of its increasingly capable and mature intellectual property portfolio by combing blocks of its IP library to rapidly enter tangential but large markets with scalable, innovative solutions.

-
Digital Information – via ProtectCode® issuing each product unit with a unique QR identifier as a means of managing that unit through its lifecycle.

-
Inventory, use and maintenance logging - via the UnifAI smartphone app and BrandReporter®.

Connect acts as a digital hub where valuable product and market data is recorded, analysed, monitored, and used in critical decision making and compliance. This data capability increases the value of authenticity and track and trace scans, and product linkage allows the rapid creation of novel solutions to complex problems from the core YPB IP library. It significantly expands YPB’s market opportunity via broader relevance of YPB’s IP and the value of its IP portfolio.
YPB Executive Chairman and CEO John Houston said : “ This is an exciting contract for YPB reflecting our increased capacity to unearth and secure innovative opportunities in major markets. Worker safety is the first order priority of all companies in dangerous industries globally and Rim-Lock® has great potential for rapid growth.
