ABSTRACT:
A system and method for identifying stolen component parts contained within an assembly and/or identifying the origin of a component part. To utilize the system, a passive integrated transponder is attached to at least some component parts within an assembly. Each of the passive integrated transponders transmits an identification code when activated. In a database, the identification codes of the passive integrated transponders are recorded along with the identification of the assembly into which they were originally installed. Assemblies in the marketplace are periodically scanned. As assemblies are scanned, the passive integrated transponders contained in those assemblies are activated and transmit their identification codes. The identification codes are read and compared to the data in a database. If a scan reveals a component part listed as stolen, an indication is provided.
