About Microdot Technology:

• Microdot technology involves spraying the body and parts of the vehicle or any other machine with microscopic dots, which give a unique identification.
• The microdots and adhesive will become permanent fixtures/affixation which cannot be removed without damaging the asset, that is the vehicle itself.
• These nearly invisible microdots can only be read physically with a microscope and identified with ultra violet light source.
• Use of this technology will help check theft of vehicles and also use of fake spare parts.
