Infant Tag Safety Systems is a RFID healthcare system which is licensed by Borda Technology. It has several components such as infant-tag, mother-tag, badge-tag, locator, reader, etc. to keep newborns safe in delivery rooms and hospitals. 

Formeta Design made a long-run collaboration with Borda Technology to design both hardwares and software for the company. As a result of this collaboration, Infant Tag and Mother Tag are RFID tags which enable correct infant-mother match and Infant Tag as itself decreases kidnapping risk to zero with Real Time Location System which allows monitoring the location of baby from the birth to the day being discharged. Besides these features, there is a button on both infant-tag and mother-tag for nurse paging in case of emergency.

Through disruptive technologies which emerged in the Industry 4.0 era, IoT devices simplify and enable companies to achieve sophisticated problems. However it looks easier, there is not so much rule or regulation for designing these devices. Thus, just one tag case was defined and designed by us to apply for both mother and infant. The differences between them were just colors and printed images on it to make it more domestic. 

On the ‘Infant Tag’ project we managed the whole design process and we were on duty for industrial design, design management, concept generation (design sketching, 3D Modelling), rapid prototyping (mock-up) and molding design processes. Infant Tag Safety Systems are already in use at hospitals in several countries. What a pleasure for us to attend a whole design process of this device’s production and get a chance to help keep new-born babies safe in their very first hours.
