Project SMART 4.0

Formula Iozzi is a startup born in the midst of the pandemic that intends to develop an innovative solution for the textile market, called SMART 4.0 (Authenticatable Manufacturing System Responsive Textile 4.0) and its implementation is based on three key elements: anti-counterfeiting, personal safety, eco-sustainability. The technological infrastructure that allows clothing to become intelligent and links these two elements:

  1. LABELS WITH RFID-NFC TECHNOLOGICAL CIRCUIT A special label is inserted inside the garment with electromagnetic properties belonging to the RFID family, with NFC protocol. We will incorporate the label into a certified ecological fabric and coat it with a 100nm hydro and oil repellent protective nano-layer, so as to make it resistant to washing even in commonly used washing machines. This NFC tag becomes the technological activator of the garment.
  2. APP IN THE CLOUD FOR READING The App gives the end user the opportunity to interact with the garment. By bringing the phone near it, the user is automatically redirected to the App on Google Play or the App Store depending on the type of operating system. At this point the App detects the alphanumeric code of the label and performs a matching with our database.

RESULT OF THE TWO PHASES :

    • IOT CLOTHING From the interaction between NFC tag and App, our solution allows the traditional garment to acquire these two benefits:
      • CERTAINTY OF AUTHENTICITY With our solution, a match is made between our internal database and the code on the label, if the match is successful, the product is authentic and the user sees a green check of authenticity and info on materials of which the garment is made. The user has access to much more information than a standard label.
      • PERSONAL SAFETY AND IN THE WORKPLACE The wearer of the smart garment, or the employer who supplies it to his employees, can enable the accessory function in which to enter useful information for prompt medical intervention in the event of an accident, including: blood group, presence of pathologies, allergies, telephone numbers of family members. Law enforcement uniforms, with our solution, would provide valuable information for the medical personnel responsible for the intervention and could save the life of the agents.
