"Revolutionary Counterfeit Art Detection System Developed by Manufacturing Giant"

Bosch, a major manufacturing company, has adapted its revolutionary technology, Origify, originally designed to detect counterfeit spare parts in the car and aerospace industries, to now identify counterfeit works of art. The system creates "tamper-proof digital fingerprints" of paintings and sculptures, enabling museums to quickly spot whether an original work has been swapped with a fake. The technology, which captures unique details not visible to the human eye, stores data in a "tamper-proof cloud" and allows authentication via a smartphone app. The system has the potential to revolutionize art authentication and security in museums, following a recent case where a German museum fell victim to art theft and forgery.
