FROM SEAM TO SHOPPER

A garment's record starts at the seam

RFID-X is sewn into the garment as a neck or care label while it is made. It isn't a tag that gets cut off, so the same label can still be read through receiving, the sales floor and checkout, and even after the garment goes home with the customer.

01SEWING
Sewn in with the garment
On the cutting and sewing lines at +82FACTORY in Seoul, RFID-X labels are sewn in with each garment. There is no separate tagging step, and the record begins at production. The label is waterproof and heat-resistant, so it goes through washing and ironing.
Patent 10-2787573, “Washable RFID tag for apparel data”
02RECEIVING
Read cartons to check quantities
Read many garments at once with a handheld reader or gate, without opening the carton.
03STORE
Stock, fitting rooms, checkout, anti-theft
Sweep the rails and tables with a handheld reader to reconcile stock, and the gate alerts staff when unpaid items pass the door.
04CUSTOMER
Tap a phone to check it's genuine
Shoppers tap a phone to the label and NFC shows whether it's genuine, along with product details.
