RFiD THREADS® TECHNOLOGY - MATERIAL SPECS
RFiD THREADS® TECHNOLOGY - MATERIAL SPECS
Washable RFiD Threads® are robust to withstand high/low temperatures, washing and drying cycles zero to 2000c / 3920F.
Washable 30 or 100 washes.
Flexible, strong and invisibly integrated into textile-based products including garments, footwear, accessories, homewares, mattresses, toys etc. Stays with the product for a full lifecycle.
Holds GS1 Standards with Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) readability. RFID readers bulk read hundreds/thousands of threads at once at high-speed without the need for line-of-sight scanning.
RFiD THREADS® are 15-centimetre long, thin malleable single-encased metal radio frequency identification (RFID) thread that can be bulk scanned by a connected UHF RFID reader to connect to the GCN App and external software via a digital bridge.
View sewing video below.
RFiD THREADS® are stand-alone RFID "tags", separated long fine metal "threads". They are not connected as one long thread as this would be unnecessary and wasteful.
The micro-chip is the “bump” in the centre of the 15cm metal antenna.
Only able to collect product information and not connected to the consumers private information
Can be both open and closed source to protect a brand's IP. Open source to connect with any R-Cyclers, sorters, recyclers and logistics to update 'status.
Security. RFiD Threads® are used for instant product authenticated. The threads themselves cannot be counterfeited, or cloned. Global patent, Offers high security ensuring product integrity. Unlikely to remove from high quality products to add fake data and put inside a ‘fake’.
Only able to be read with a connected RFID readers to access the App platform, read and add new, unlimited data to the Platform.
Scan to add data pre or post manufacturing from decentralised databases in bulk.
Sewn or placed into products one at a time eg the same time as attaching the product label or replace the label with a QR Code and/or NFC.
Suited to add to new or quality used products.
RFiD THREADS® OPTIONS
non-washable
30 washes/cleaning,
100 washes/cleaning
thickest for tyres.
Other options can be manufactured including colours, shorter and read less distance plus via R&D, a long continuous thread to feed into manufacturing machinery.
SEWING A RFiD THREADS® INTO A POLO SHIRT
The video shows a RFiD THREADS® being sewn into a new polo shirt. RFiD THREADS® are pliable enough to slip into both new and existing products eg. open a few threads to slip into quality recovered garments for rent, resale, repair, slide in underneath the sole of a shoe, slip inside a handbag lining, unzip a cushion and place inside, attach to the label on a mattress.
e-waste compliance
The metallic thread is able to be removed manually or magnetized. Testing will be done to recover the threads after garments are commercially composted or re-processed through enzymes.
This enables us to retrieve and return threads to the system where they are able to be reset and reused through the Secondary Market.
