RFID Technology Helps Parents Find Lost Uniforms

RagTagd, an Australian company, has introduced a solution that helps parents of students in schools track their uniforms. The RagTagd solution is to have a collection box with passive UHF RFID reader on the school's Lost and Found Area, with labels attached to school uniforms. Software on the RagTagd server keeps track of items in the box and sends messages to parents.

Lost items in the global school is a ubiquitous thing. Students dressed in coat to go to school, often forget to get back in the playground exercise. By the end of the school year, unclaimed items are often discarded, causing waste.

To solve this problem, companies consider using UHF RFID technology, with RFID tag readers built-in and tagged clothing, and school employees do not need to do anything but simply putting their clothes in the box. Using the RagTagd system, the company sew off-the-shelf UHF RFID tags into garments and then sell it to parents with a unique ID number.


Parents need to activate the label when buying uniforms. This process eliminates the need to download additional applications, and parents simply send the six-character code printed on the label to complete the pairing. The collection box is a plastic box with a built-in RFID reader device and antenna that allows the data to be transferred directly to the RagTagd's server.

The company operates five stores and has plans to expand as many as 75 stores over the next few years.
