Idtechex Case Study: European and US Laundries

Overview The clients were European and US laundries. Developers wanted to improve processing throughput on garment identification systems originally implemented with barcode. The challenge as originally posed for RFID was to provide a means of automatically reading garments and provide a durable tag that could survive multiple washings. The technical requirement is read only in some cases and read-write in others. Some call for individual identification while others require batches of the same identity. Range is usually centimetres or tens of centimetres. X-ident and KSW Microtec TrolleyScan of South Africa and others are preparing stitchable tags for apparel. This modest marketplace is therefore getting crowded. Silicon wins so far.
