Environmental Monitoring
Monitor temperature, humidity, battery levels, and fuel consumption with industry-specific custom sensor support and threshold-based instant alerting.
Intelligent Automation
Location-triggered workflows with notifications via email, SMS, or webhook integration. A rules engine prioritised by operational urgency keeps your team one step ahead.
Advanced Reporting
Event timelines, utilisation metrics, and customisable report builders. Professional PDF and CSV export options for operational and compliance reporting.
DTS International Group's breakthrough Micro-STR (Scene Text Recognition) AI system represents the cutting edge of forensic asset identification. Each microdot is a 0.5mm octagonal nickel tag — invisible to the naked eye — carrying a unique 24-character alphanumeric code etched permanently into the material.
Up to 1,000 microdots can be applied per vehicle using a simple spray-on solution. Once bonded, they cannot be fully removed — making them an immutable link between asset and owner.
Extreme Durability
Withstands temperatures exceeding 1,000°C and resists chemical degradation — permanent identification that outlasts the asset itself.
UV-Fluorescent Invisible Adhesive
High-strength adhesive ensures permanent bonding. Invisible to the naked eye, revealed only under blacklight — offering a covert layer of security.
AI-Powered Micro-STR Field Decoding
DTSIG's proprietary AI reads tags as small as 0.3mm in the field — instantly linking any asset to its registered owner details via the partnership database.
Open Law Enforcement Access
The Micro-STR Reader and App are available to LEAs and insurance investigators as an open system — maximising recovery rates and deterring organised crime at a regional level.
Forensic-Grade Legal Evidence
Digital evidence logs and tamper-proof ownership records support law enforcement prosecution and insurance claims across multiple jurisdictions.

The Triple-Layer Defence Model
ProTracs, DTS International Group and Asset Authentication Europe have united to create an unprecedented asset protection ecosystem — combining overt deterrence, forensic AI identification, and active real-time intelligence into a single, seamless solution.
1
Layer 1 — AAE
The Overt Deterrent
Asset Authentication Europe's specialised microdot and etching solutions provide highly visible identification that deters theft before it occurs. With over 40 years of experience and deep connections with European Law Enforcement Agencies and the insurance industry, AAE serves as the expert distributor and investigator in-territory.
Visible deterrence prevents theft before it happens
LEA & insurance industry connections across Europe
40+ years of specialist expertise in theft recovery
DTS International Group's breakthrough Micro-STR AI system electronically deciphers microdot codes in the field and verifies them against the partnership database or third-party databases. A global leader in forensic identification, DTSIG provides the investigative backbone enabling law enforcement and insurance sectors to act swiftly and decisively.
ProTracs integrates the TRACS platform to provide real-time IoT monitoring — GPS tracking, environmental sensing (movement, temperature), and predictive analytics — to detect unauthorised asset activity the instant it occurs. Every marked asset is actively watched, 24/7.
Our Triple-Layer protection model is deployed across high-value asset sectors throughout the UK and Ireland.
Automotive
Vehicle fleets, dealerships, and high-value cars protected with up to 1,000 microdots per vehicle, live GPS monitoring, and instant tamper alerts.
Agricultural
Farm machinery, tractors, and rural equipment — protecting assets in areas where theft has historically been complex to investigate and recover.
Logistics
Transit and cargo fleets with real-time route monitoring, geofencing, environmental sensing for temperature-sensitive goods, and instant tamper detection.
Infrastructure
Plant equipment, power tools, breathing apparatus, and critical industrial hardware across construction, utilities, and public sector organisations.

DTS International Group, ProTracs, and Asset Authentication Europe
Form Strategic Alliance to Deploy “Triple-Layer Asset Protection” Across UK and Ireland
LIMERICK, IRELAND / SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — March 4, 2026 — DTS International Group (DTSIG), ProTracs, and Asset Authentication Europe (AAE) today announced a powerful tripartite partnership designed to set a new benchmark in asset protection across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
By combining AAE’s 40-year legacy in theft recovery and investigations with DTSIG’s AI-powered forensic marking detection and ProTracs’ IoT monitoring, the alliance introduces a “Triple-Layer Asset Protection” ecosystem. This integrated approach provides an unprecedented level of security for the automotive, agricultural, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.
Triple-Layer Defence: Overt, Covert, and Real-Time
The partnership leverages the unique technological and investigative strengths of all three companies:
1
Layer 1: The Overt Deterrent (AAE)
Utilising AAE’s specialised microdot and etching solutions to provide highly visible identification that deters theft before it occurs, together with the company’s deep connections with European Law Enforcement Agencies and the insurance industry.
2
Layer 2: The Forensic Analysis Core (DTSIG)
Deploying the company’s breakthrough Micro-STR (Scene Text Recognition) AI system, microdot codes can be electronically deciphered in the field and verified against the database of this partnership or with third-party databases.
3
Layer 3: The Active Intelligence (ProTracs)
Integrating the TRACS platform for real-time IoT monitoring. This provides GPS tracking, environmental sensing (movement, temperature), and predictive analytics to detect unauthorised asset activity instantly.
A Non-Exclusive Network for Public Safety
In a strategic departure from traditional distribution models, the partners have confirmed that the core Micro-STR Reader and App will be maintained as an open system. While AAE serves as the expert distributor and investigator in the territory, the DTSIG Micro-STR technology will be available to all critical stakeholders, including Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), insurance investigators, and — selectively — to other asset marking systems manufacturers.
“To truly secure a region, the forensic tools must be accessible to the recovery experts. By making our AI-based system available to LEAs and insurance investigators, we dramatically increase their effectiveness. At the asset owner level, we ensure that every asset carrying the technology of AAE and ProTracs, and actively monitored by ProTracs, is instantly identifiable. This ‘network effect’ will significantly increase recovery rates and serve as a powerful deterrent to organised crime.”
— Alliance Spokesperson, ProTracs × DTS International Group × AAE
“The synergy here is total. ProTracs provides tagging and an asset tracking system as the digital eyes, AAE provides a complementary marking system and connections with the investigation sector, and DTSIG provides forensic analysis systems. Together, we aren’t just selling products — we are establishing a new benchmark in regional security standards.”
