GE Power & Water – Ensuring Certified Chemical Use with NFC Labels

Quick Facts

• Industry: Water Testing & Analysis
• Challenge: Ensure only certified GE chemicals are used in testing machines
• Solution: Product label with embedded NFC inlay for authentication
• Results: Global rollout with secure product verification and stronger brand protection

Challenge

GE Power & Water manufactures machines designed to test water samples using several specialized chemicals. The company faced a serious challenge: ensuring that customers only used certified, genuine GE chemicals with their equipment. Without proper safeguards, uncertified or off-brand chemicals could compromise machine performance, affect test accuracy, and even risk damaging customer trust. GE needed a solution that integrated product authentication directly into their testing process.

Solution

PaladinID partnered with GE Power & Water to address this challenge. After careful consultation, we developed a custom product label embedded with an NFC inlay.

• The NFC tag allowed the machine to read and authenticate chemical containers automatically.
• Only chemicals with the certified GE NFC label were accepted, preventing the use of non-approved products.
• The solution was seamless, highly secure, and protected both the end-user and GE’s brand reputation.

By combining PaladinID’s deep labeling expertise with advanced RFID/NFC technology, we delivered a reliable, scalable, and innovative solution that exceeded expectations.

Results

The outcome was a major success:

• GE Power & Water launched their solution worldwide, now protecting chemical use in machines across global markets.
• Customers benefited from the confidence of knowing they were using genuine GE-certified products.
• GE strengthened its brand integrity, reduced the risk of counterfeit usage, and safeguarded the accuracy of their testing process.
• What began as a labeling challenge became a powerful global product authentication system.
