CMID - Component & Material Identity

We create the interface between digital data and physical materials by assigning each component a unique, permanent identity. This ID is linked to the properties of the material, like a “fingerprint” or a “biometric photo”. Without using QR codes, chips or other visible identification symbols, the ID enables solid traceability and a link to data that is tamper-proof and resistant against change. A link that can be established whenever and wherever it is needed.

Our unique system seamlessly integrates into material production lines through a fast, scalable process. Once allocated our ID offers a universally recognizable material identity that boosts sustainability, compliance, and data- driven decision-making – accessible right from your smartphone.

We address the construction and real estate sector—one of the world’s largest industries, with enormous ecological and economic impact. Our primary target group are building material and component manufacturers. They face increasing pressure to provide transparent, verifiable product information—on ingredients, emissions, and origin—driven by regulation (e.g. EU Green Deal), customers, and investors. CMID helps them meet these demands efficiently, enabling digital product passports, ESG compliance, and new circular business models. In addition, construction companies and real estate developers benefit from improved material transparency and traceability. Urban miners and recyclers can identify and recover valuable resources more effectively. Regulators and financiers gain access to reliable, tamper-proof data for better risk and impact assessment. As digital, circular practices become mandatory, demand for secure, scalable identification solutions is growing rapidly. We start in the German and European market, but our technology is globally scalable and transferable to sectors like infrastructure or industrial manufacturing.

The biggest challenge ahead is transforming a highly fragmented, conservative industry like construction into a digitally connected, circular ecosystem. While there is growing awareness and regulatory pressure for sustainability, most material data is still siloed, unreliable, or lost after a building’s initial use phase. Convincing industry players to adopt a fundamentally new way of working—where every material has a digital identity and long-term traceability—is not just a technical task, but a cultural one. We need to build trust, prove real-world scalability, and show that circularity isn’t just good for the planet—it also makes economic sense. That means navigating long sales cycles, aligning diverse stakeholders, and scaling a deeptech solution that works reliably in complex, physical environments. But we see this as more than a hurdle—it’s our mission. And with the right partners and support, we’re ready to lead the change.
