Why choosing our RFID Tags for shoelaces?

Etik Ouest manufactures RFID Tags adapted to your specifications. Technically, the tags form a loop around the laces of the runner’s shoe. Our Tags make it possible to time sporting events accurately and reliably when shoes are kept clean and dry. So avoid trail running, where the shoes are sometimes exposed to mud.

How it works: participants wear RFID chips attached to their shoes. These RFID chips activate when they pass a checkpoint, sending out a signal which is picked up by RFID antennas. The time information is then recorded and stored in a central timing system. It is worth noting that tags positioned on shoes are further away from the body and are therefore subject to less disturbance, offering a better read rate.

Our Tags also offer high accuracy and reliability in time measurement. They eliminate human errors associated with manual time-taking, and deliver more accurate and precise results.

The complexity of this type of tag lies solely in its installation on the shoe. Etik Ouest can help you select the best device for your needs.
