Integrated with the Apkudo Device Passport, the system creates a portable digital record for every device, ensuring transparency throughout the product lifecycle. CypherBlk CEO Milos Mihic noted that by equipping local shops with these tools, the industry can improve the reliability of the circular economy one device at a time.
