COCO-DATES uses cloud pattern data as recorded by weather satellites (which is constantly changing and therefore never forms the same pattern twice) in combination with global positioning satellite (GPS) data to create a foolproof authentication system for time and location of various events. It can be used to verify the origin of food products, authenticate field service reports, facilitate a variety of evidence photo applications and more.

Mitsubishi Electric provides a full turnkey COCO-DATES service, the only time and place certification service in the world.

COCO-DATES codes printed on food labels allow the food processing, distribution and retailing sectors to benefit from the technology and provide a level of food safety and authentication previously not possible.

Insurance companies and industrial waste processing agencies can use COCO-DATES equipped digital cameras in order to authenticate photos of accident scenes and disposal sites that can be traced to a specific date and location.

Likewise, lightweight applications using GPS-and camera-equipped mobile phones running COCO-DATES enabled Java/BREW applications provide evidence solutions for a wide range of businesses.
