Atma.io, a venture by Avery Dennison, is a connected product cloud platform designed to bridge the physical and digital asset worlds by assigning unique digital identities to everyday items. The Atma platform enables end-to-end supply chain transparency via the Hedera blockchain, allowing businesses and consumers to track products from source to point of sale and beyond. It accomplishes this through the use of identification technologies such as RFID and QR codes to capture and manage vast amounts of data about individual product journeys.
