1. A method for traceability of raw materials or objects exposed to operational conditions in industry, the method comprising:
a code phase comprising:
uploading a design file to a Cdot application programming interface (API);
classification of a coordinate area size of the design file to provide a design matrix;
coding parameter inputs of the design matrix;
generating a Cdot matrix by embedding a unique codeword into the design matrix using a Cdot matrix calculation algorithm to calculate a location of dots within the design matrix, wherein the unique codeword corresponds to a unique object or material identification;
mapping bit color of the Cdot matrix;
providing a display buffer in a reader device that captures at least 20 imagers per every one second;
a decoding phase comprising:
reading the unique Cdot matrix image with a reader device and storing digital images of the unique Cdot matrix image in the display buffer of the reader device;
creating a Cdot matrix image from a raw image of a material or object or product having a Cdot matrix on a surface captured by a camera of the reader device;
partitioning or dividing different layers of the Cdot matrix image into color cells;
detection of a progressive code locator and determination of a location of the progressive code locator in the Cdot matrix image;
decoding coded values in a code area of the Cdot matrix image to extract an assertive code;
detecting and correcting errors in the assertive code;
interpreting the assertive code to determine a unique object or material identification definition;
synchronizing the unique object or material identification definition with a tracking ID value in a core system;
providing the object or material identification definition to the reader device and displaying the identification definition on a display of the reader device.
