Smart fabric to prevent thefts?
Berlin: Researchers have developed a new kind of anti-theft system, based on a smart fabric, that will trigger an alarm when intruders try to break into a house or a building. It is cheaper than burglary detection systems.
The innocuous seeming fabric incorporates a fine web of conductive threads connected to a microcontroller that detects warning signals emitted when the fabric is cut and triggers an alarm. This system can be used to protect buildings, bank vaults, and trucks against even the most wily of intruders.The smart fabric was developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM, Berlin in collaboration with the Technische Universitat Berlin and ETTLIN Spinnerei und Weberei Produktions GmbH.
