The Challenge

Problems EURODOT Solves
in the Aftermarket

Fake & Cloned Parts

Counterfeit parts bearing genuine brand markings cause safety failures, void warranties, and flood distribution channels.

Workshop Theft

Parts from customer vehicles and workshop stock stolen daily — without permanent marking, recovery is near-impossible.

Stolen Parts Market

Catalytic converters, alloy wheels, ECUs sold through legitimate-looking channels — forensic marking breaks the chain.

Insurance Fraud

False warranty and insurance claims enabled by absence of permanent part identification — EURODOT closes this gap.

The EURODOT Solution

Triple-Layer Aftermarket Protection

ProTracs — Parts Register

Every marked part registered in TRACS — serial, photo, VIN link, microdot ID. Chain of custody from supplier to workshop to customer permanently recorded.

DTS — Part Marking

10,000 microdots bonded to each part at workshop or distribution stage — impossible to remove, AI-readable by police and field agents in seconds.

AA-Europe — Parts Recovery

On theft, AA-Europe and law enforcement scan dots in scrap dealers and markets — confirming stolen status and enabling seizure with court-admissible evidence.

The Process

EURODOT in the Aftermarket

Part Registration

Workshop or supplier registers part in TRACS with photo, serial number and VIN link.

Microdot Application

DTS microdots applied to part surface — permanent, invisible, AI-readable by MSTR app.

Consumer Transparency

Customer receives proof of genuine marked parts — builds workshop trust and consumer confidence.

Theft Recovery

Stolen part located via TRACS alert — AA-Europe and police verify dots, recover part, issue insurance evidence.

Use Case

Catalytic Converter Recovery — Dublin, Ireland

A fleet operator with 40 vans had lost 6 catalytic converters in 3 months before EURODOT marking. Post-marking, a recovery was made within 72 hours of theft when a scrap dealer scanned the dot and triggered the TRACS alert. Full insurance evidence package issued. No further thefts in 8 months.
