New application of terahertz spectrum hits fashion cottage

Every year, high imitation luxury goods will bring huge losses to major luxury goods groups. Therefore, almost every brand in the counterfeiting campaign is being done. Louis Vuitton is not hesitating to file lawsuits against copycats on a global scale. There is now a new high technology that seems to offer a good solution to this worldwide problem. It is the terahertz spectrum developed by the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom.

The technology uses an electromagnetic beam between the microwave and infrared light to illuminate the fabric, and then labels the fabric according to the absorption and reflection of the fabric. This information is the identity of the original costume, and it is also difficult for the counterfeit goods to hide. Direct evidence.

Natural silk and man-made silk, Australian merino wool, and cashmere, which were difficult to measure with the naked eye and feel, have been selected separately. The British side has decided to use this technology in customs to curb the increasingly rampant high-fidelity business.

The advent of this high-end technology is undoubtedly a good news for the fashion industry deeply plunged into pirated mud. Statistics show that the British fashion industry has lost at least 3.5 billion pounds (approximately RMB 33.1 billion) in losses each year because of the competition in the cottage. The big names like Burberry have been repeatedly hit hard.

However, even if high-tech anti-counterfeiting technology emerges, the fashion brand is still struggling. High-tech counterfeiting that can only identify materials can't stop counterfeiting from the source. In recent years, the supervised and robberies of big-brand luxury goods have frequently been revealed. These foundries use high-imitation products produced from raw materials that are the same as genuine goods to enter the market. It is an increase of the difficulty of high-tech anti-counterfeiting.
