01
Conductive ink printing
A conductive, water-based ink is printed directly onto the fabric to create the foundation for the embedded identity.
Fabric-Level Digital Identity
Embedding invisible intelligence into garments
Fabricomm’s vision is to give every physical garment a unique digital identity
End-to-End Traceability: From Manufacturing to End Customer
Fabricomm is building invisible, durable textile intelligence embedded directly into garments. By integrating RFID and NFC at the fabric level, we enable persistent item-level identity for traceability, authentication, inventory visibility, and next-generation retail operations — without external tags, manual handling, or visible hardware.
The Challenge
The Physical World Is Still Data-Blind
The apparel industry still relies on systems that were never built for real-time, item-level visibility. As a result, brands and retailers face costly blind spots across inventory, authentication, shrinkage prevention, and circularity.
$60B
Lost every year to shrinkage and theft in U.S. retail
$1.1T
Lost to inefficient inventory and supply chain management
25%
Of potential revenue disappears at the store level
- Lack of end-to-end supply chain transparency
- Real-time inventory mismanagement
- Shrinkage remains high and difficult to prevent
- Frictionless checkout is still out of reach
- Authentication is broken, especially in premium textiles
- Circular economy models still lack infrastructure
Current RFID solutions often suffer from operational friction, short read ranges, and failure points caused by tag removal, damage, or non-compliance.
Why Now
Compliance and retail reality are forcing change
New traceability expectations are reshaping the market. Brands increasingly need persistent identity, automated data capture, and end-to-end visibility across the product lifecycle.
What brands increasingly need to prove
- What was produced
- What was sold
- What was returned, reused, or recycled
What scalable compliance requires
- Persistent identity
- Automated data capture
- End-to-end visibility
Manual tracking and legacy systems cannot scale to item-level traceability.
Vision
A unique digital identity for every garment
Fabricomm’s vision is to connect the physical garment to its digital life. By embedding an invisible identity directly into the textile, every item can carry trusted data across manufacturing, logistics, retail, authentication, resale, and circularity.
From manufacturing to finished goods to end customer
How It Works
Integrated at the fabric level
Fabricomm’s technology is designed to work with existing production environments while creating a permanent, invisible digital layer inside the garment.
02
Antenna integration
The RFID / NFC antenna is formed directly within the printed textile structure.
03
Chip embedding
A microchip is integrated into the printed layer to enable reading, writing, and secure identity functions.
04
Concealed protection layer
A topical layer conceals and protects the technology inside the fabric without compromising aesthetics.
05
Manufacturing-ready workflow
The process is designed for seamless industrial integration into existing manufacturing lines.

Retail Impact
Invisible RFID and NFC, integrated at the fabric level
Fabricomm enables retailers to achieve scalable, real-time, item-level visibility by embedding invisible RFID directly into garments. This removes the operational weaknesses of external tags and creates a more reliable foundation for inventory accuracy, shrink reduction, authentication, and frictionless store operations.
Scalable item-level visibility for the physical world
- Eliminates tag loss and manual handling
- Improves inventory accuracy
- Reduces shrinkage
- Enables reliable authentication
- Supports faster, frictionless in-store operations
- Improves receiving, counting, and stock visibility
- Creates a better customer experience with less visible hardware
Distribution Center Visibility
Real-time visibility into item movement and inventory status across receiving and logistics operations.
Retail Store Visibility
Better on-floor accuracy, faster counts, and more reliable product detection inside the store environment.
Consumer Transparency
Supports product trust, authentication, and future-facing customer engagement experiences.
Operational Efficiency
Reduces labor friction, manual exceptions, and dependency on fragile external tags.
Proof & Progress
Built on technical depth, early validation, and strong performance potential
Fabricomm is advancing from R&D toward scaled deployment, with technical validation already pointing to strong real-world value.
Retail store product testing
Early proof-of-concept testing has already been demonstrated in a retail environment.
Reading range above 15m
Read performance has been demonstrated at ranges up to 15 meters in FabriComm testing.
Signal strength advantage
FabriComm measurements indicate a meaningful RSSI advantage over traditional RFID at representative distances.
Three provisional patent submissions
The company is actively building defensible IP around embedded textile identity, materials, and system performance.
Industrial design direction
The technology is being shaped for manufacturing integration rather than as a fragile add-on.
IIA support
Supported by a $460,000 grant from the Israel Innovation Authority.
POC in action
Representative visuals from retail proof-of-concept and validation work.
Beyond Fashion
A permanent textile identity has value far beyond apparel
While fashion and retail are an immediate market, the same fabric-level identity layer can unlock traceability, compliance, and asset intelligence across additional industries.
Healthcare and medical textiles
Support lifecycle compliance, automated counting, billing workflows, and stable identity across repeated use.
Technical textiles and composites
Enable anti-counterfeit protection, work-in-progress traceability, and service-history continuity where labels often fail.
Logistics and reusable transport textiles
Reduce loss, improve receiving and sorting, and automate reconciliation through reuse cycles.
Automotive textile components
Support roll-to-cut-to-assembly tracking, batch assurance, and recall traceability in production environments.
Industrial PPE and compliance-managed textiles
Reduce tag failure, improve rental lifecycle tracking, and strengthen compliance reporting at scale.
