SEWING A RFiD THREADS® INTO A POLO SHIRT

In this video can see a RFiD THREADS® being sewn into a new polo shirt. 

They 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.

4 option for RFiD THREADS® 

1. non-washable

2. 30 washes/cleaning, 

3. 100 washes/cleaning 

4. thickest for tyres.

Other options can be manufactured including shorter and read less distance plus via R&D, a long continuous thread to feed into manufacturing machinery. See specs below.

• The washable RFiD THREADS® is 15 cm long encapsulated in resin to withstand washing, drying, tumbling at -35 C to 200 C.

• resin is black and can be different colours based on MOQs

• Can be cut slightly shorter with less readability.

• Highly flexible and robust.

• RFiD THREADS® generates a unique QR Code and barcode for customer engagement. Brands can also use our NFC ring code as a replacement or in addition to the QR code.

• RFiD THREADS® are scanned using commercial UHF RFID readers. 

• The RFiD THREADS® itself is circular; the metal thread can be recovered, reset and recycled into new products; see Secondary Market. 

• They can then be resold and used in products that do not require as much washing such as homewares, toys, mattresses, accessories etc. If re-usable, some of the profits from the re-sale will go to the original brand to reduce the cost of new threads to below market price to support SMEs. 

• It uses less than 1% of metal compared to existing RFiD ‘tag’ saving 12.5 billion units going to landfill globally per year after sale.

• RFiD THREADS® technology is patented and protected globally 

• Cannot be physically lost/stolen or mistakenly separated - stays with the garment wherever it goes

• RFiD thread Tensile strength: 10 N to 100 N/mm2 + 

• Is washable, can withstand washing, drying, tumbling at temperatures -35 C to 200 C 

• Contains data that can be updated in real-time; is dynamic

• Depending on dissembling stage many threads will be able to recovered, reset and reused

• Solves the problem of identifying, sorting, categorising wanted and unwanted products for reuse and recycling opportunities just by passing through a corresponding scanner (fixed or hand-held)

• Hand held UHF scanners reads 1cm to 5m and hundreds of products instantly and provides multi industry connectivity

• Unlocks potential for garments pre- and post-sale, providing future opportunities for manufacturers and retailers.

• It used less than 1% of metal compared to existing 'tags’ attached to garments saving 12.5 billion units going to landfill globally per year after sale.
