Magnetic Security Threads Control: CustoM 2.0 and it’s a winning proposal!
CustoM 2.0 has been operating since 2009 in the high-quality security documents sector, designing and manufacturing a wide range of products for the control of magnetic security threads, specifically developed to effectively support inspections during the critical stages of the banknote production process.
Reading the code embedded in the security thread makes it possible to capture the “DNA” of any security document (banknotes, passports, etc.), ensuring absolute authentication.
In the field of security document reading and verification, the magnetic sensors developed by CustoM 2.0 for both inline and offline inspection of security documents incorporate the most advanced technologies currently available on the market.
The market introduction of these magnetic sensors for security documents has proven highly successful and they are now widely used across the Euro Area and other European countries, establishing CustoM 2.0 as a recognised reference in the sector.
During 2025, CustoM 2.0 further strengthened its position in the industry by:
– carrying out research activities;
– signing agreements for the provision of magnetic sensor maintenance services;
– acquiring numerous clients among the most authoritative organisations operating in the sector, such as Banca di Grecia, Banca d’Italia , Banque de France, Hueck Folien GmbH, Real Casa de la Moneda, Valora, VHP Security Paper che si aggiungono ad un ricco parco clienti che vede la presenza di Arrow GreenTech LTD, Engler, Fa.Se., Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, Louisenthal, Valori di Carta.
The achievement of these milestones highlights the reliability of our offering and confirms CustoM 2.0 as a key player in the security document inspection and control market.

Stress Test Bench for Electrodes for Electro-Stimulators
CustoM 2.0, a leader in the development of innovative solutions also for the biomedical sector, has designed and built a test bench intended for the validation and stress testing of electrodes used in next-generation electrostimulators.
More specifically, these are percutaneous leads spinal cord stimulators aimed at pain reduction through high-frequency electrical impulses.
The SimStim test bench is capable of accurately analysing electrode conductivity by simulating the natural ageing processes that occur after implantation in the patient.
This represents a crucial aspect in a sector where reliability, safety and regulatory compliance are not merely technical requirements, but true guarantees for both manufacturers and the market.
SimStim TB enables in-depth testing of electrical parameters, functionality, durability and resistance, delivering accurate and repeatable results.
The software developed by CustoM 2.0, based on LabVIEW©, TestStand© and Python©, allows calibration of up to 40 independent and modular test stations, ensuring full and immediate control over every phase of the process.
Thanks to its high level of configurability, the system optimises validation times, reduces operating costs and raises quality standards, making it the ideal solution for those seeking superior performance and maximum efficiency.
The experience and continuous skills development of the CustoM 2.0 team enable the company to act as a strategic partner for businesses focused on excellence and innovation, turning every project into a shared success.
AI-based in-process quality control in biomedical test benches
In a sector such as biomedicine, where quality is non-negotiable, the synergy between robotics and machine vision represents a decisive competitive advantage.
CustoM 2.0 has made its R&D expertise available to contribute to the development of an advanced AI-based vision system dedicated to 100% in-process Quality Control.
The system employs a collaborative robot (cobot) to handle the device under test and position it on a rotating platform.
The movement of the device enables the vision system to acquire images and process them through the AI integrated into the vision system itself.
Thanks to an advanced training process based on algorithms and logical sequences, the vision system software can analyse and continuously improve its training, ensuring accurate inspection and reliable identification of any product non-conformities.
The storage of images acquired during inspection allows the neural networks integrated into the system to be further trained, progressively enriching their knowledge base.
This AI-driven process enhances the system’s ability to detect defects and optimise inspection thresholds, continuously refining the performance of the vision system.
A technological contribution that strengthens process reliability and supports the customer in the continuous improvement of the quality of the technological product offered.
With this project, CustoM 2.0 enters the field of AI-based vision systems, which are set to play a key role in production quality control in the near future.
