Laser scanner authenticates goods through “topographical fingerprinting”
Operating at these high speeds the data captured and processed every second by the highly sensitive laser scanner is equivalent to playing 140 CDs simultaneously. The new K-series scanner represents the next generation implementation of Ingenia’s novel Laser Surface Authentication (LSA™) technology. LSA uses a laser to scan the surface of products to generate an intrinsic ‘fingerprint’ of each item. Using a secure database and field scanners, each individual product or document can be authenticated anywhere in the world and traced through the entire supply chain.
Developed in conjunction with Cambridge Consultants, the product development company, Ingenia’s new scanner greatly increases the areas of use for its LSA technology. Enhanced opto-electronics enable it to scan almost any material, including shiny, very smooth or very dark surfaces. This enhanced operating capability of Ingenia’s LSA solution allows virtually all surfaces to be scanned and identified.
Ingenia’s LSA technology has already been deployed by manufacturers working in a variety of markets – from luxury goods and cosmetics, to high value products, secure documents and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). The new high-speed scanner enables Ingenia to bring the benefits of LSA to an even broader range of potential markets.
LSA analyses the naturally occurring microscopic surface imperfections that the material manufacturer itself cannot control or reproduce, making the system extremely secure. It also means that LSA technology cannot be overcome or assimilated by counterfeiters, unlike the majority of overt and covert anti-counterfeit technologies that rely on adding a variety of physical features to documents or products.
