Blockchain Enabled Advertising Platform

AdsDax Logo

Our rapid growth is the result of our emergence as a leader in the creation of blockchain-tracked advertising technology.

AdsDax, a self-serve advertising platform that allows advertisers to create, buy and verify their advertising campaigns, has shown continued momentum by reaching the milestone of tracking over 2 billion advert events on the Hedera Hashgraph mainnet. This continued company momentum shows the significant market opportunity and demand for the blockchain-verified advertising technology delivered by AdsDax. AdsDax also announced a daily transaction volume of over 3.7 million on average, meaning that AdsDax now executes more than double the daily ledger transactions of the Ethereum and Bitcoin networks combined, according to stats from Ycharts.

AdsDax uses Hedera’s Cryptocurrency and Consensus Services to transparently and securely track events in advertising campaigns, such as impressions, clicks and interactions and then executes real-time cryptocurrency payments to stakeholders within the ad serving process, based on successful ad events.

Talking about the latest milestone, Ian Mullins, AdsDax CEO, stated, “Our rapid growth is the result of our emergence as a leader in the creation of blockchain-tracked advertising technology. We’ve made a huge amount of progress towards our mission to reinvent the advertising industry. Our daily transaction volume is another key indicator that highlights AdsDax as, one of, if not the biggest enterprises use case for blockchain/distributed ledger technology”.

AdsDax has been growing rapidly since it launched on Hedera’s Mainnet 18 months ago and has been used by some of the world’s top brands, working with ad agencies such as Havas Media, GroupM, and Isobar.

Mullins continued, “The speed with which we are reaching these milestones demonstrates how AdsDax is establishing itself as an industry standard for transparent and open advertising campaigns. This is largely because of our dedication to creating bleeding edge technology with consumer-first product design.”

About AdsDax

The AdsDax vision for a new ecosystem is a unified platform that facilitates all aspects of digital advert creation, campaign delivery, traffic, and content verification and optimisation with transparent reporting and costs. The AdsDax platform allows all participants to benefit from the money that is currently wasted through middlemen and instead rewards consumers and incentivises participants to create more engaging and relevant ad experiences.

The founding team started as Yamgo, a mobile-oriented content provider that monetised video on mobile. At Yamgo, we saw the problems content owners had monetising their content. We evolved into AdSpruce and worked to solve the problems of monetisation for content owners, enabling them to monetise video and display inventory. Through AdSpruce, we developed an end-to-end video advertising platform, working with 25+ of the world’s top 100 Ad Age brands.

TSC Printronix Auto ID Launches a Thermal Barcode Label Printer Capable of Printing and Encoding RFID Labels and Inspecting to ISO Quality Standards in a Single Pass


T6000e ODV-2D with RFID

The award-winning T6000e ODV-2D industrial printer with RFID.

“Users are increasingly facing requirements to both encode RFID labels and verify their barcodes…when users realize that they can have both in a single printer, driven by a single print-job, they quickly realize the cost and time savings that the T6000e offers.”

TSC Printronix Auto ID, a leading manufacturer of thermal barcode printing technology, upgraded the award-winning T6000e enterprise industrial printer adding integrated RFID and barcode inspection capabilities. Users can now print and encode RFID labels and inspect and grade the quality of printed barcodes in a single pass.

With the ability to print, encode, and perform barcode verification at the same time on the updated T6000e, one printer can now do the work of multiple devices to create a new level of productivity and cost savings. No longer are two separate machines needed to perform two completely different functions. This is a unique function not available on any other printer currently on the market.

The newly released printer joins the fleet of TSC Printronix Auto ID printers powered by SOTI Connect remote printer management software. IT personnel are able to remotely manage and monitor mission-critical devices, configure settings, setup security, push firmware updates once out in the field, and get real-time visibility and control from a completely central, remote location.

The printer is also extremely easy to set up and configure with features such as a pre-mounted barcode verifier, RFID auto-calibration, barcode GPS functionality that automatically detects and anticipates barcode alignment, and much more.

RFID functionalities include TSC Printronix Auto ID Encode During Print firmware that renders inlay placement issues a thing of the past. The T6000e supports high-speed encoding and can encode high-memory chips using advanced commands. A wide variety of label types are supported by this printer, from standard smart labels to on-metal tags to thick Returnable Transport Item (RTI) labels to rigid horticultural tags, and many other varieties as well. Labels with a pitch as low as 0.625-inches can be encoded with precision and reliability.

With RFID and barcode inspection fully integrated into the printer, reports that show barcode quality and information, RFID data, and combined statistics can be easily generated. Reports are available in various formats, including XML and CSV for integration with host systems or viewed in the free version of the PrintNet Enterprise utility.

The optical scanner on the printer finds, reads, and grades up to 50 barcodes per label. Each barcode is graded using ISO standards and given a letter and numeric score. The grading score includes details of the ISO standard, the type of barcode, the barcode data, and the label image. The reporting capability of every label helps organizations defend chargeback fees and penalties.

The optical scanner and RFID reader are integrated into the printer’s main control system to enable action if a bad label is detected. If the label is scanned and determined to be below the acceptable ISO standard or the RFID reader detects a faulty label, the printer will automatically back up the label, overstrike the bad label so it is not used, and reprint a new label without operator intervention.

“Users are increasingly facing requirements to both encode RFID labels and verify their barcodes. Traditionally, these have been separate functions – even in people’s minds, but when users realize that they can have both in a single printer, driven by a single print-job, they quickly realize the cost and time savings that the T6000e offers,” states Chris Brown, RFID Subject Matter Expert at TSC Printronix Auto ID. “We see many breakthrough moments when speaking with end-users, service bureaus, and resellers about this new solution.”

To learn more about the new Printronix Auto ID T6000e, contact your local sales representative or contact us on our website.
