RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is giving Uniqlo a major upgrade. Inspired by the success of brands like H&M and ZARA, Uniqlo’s parent company Fast Retailing launched a full RFID transformation across 3,000 stores worldwide, including 2,000 Uniqlo outlets.
Here’s how RFID Tag is changing how we shop at Uniqlo and its sister brand GU.
RFID Hangtags That Spark Curiosity
Each Uniqlo product now comes with a smart RFID hangtag. These tags use ultra-high frequency (UHF) to store details like:
Size
Color
Style
Price
Uniqlo even adds a small reminder on the tag to let shoppers know it’s RFID-enabled, which has started fun conversations among fans.

GU’s RFID Fitting Mirror: A Virtual Stylist
At GU stores, the RFID fitting mirror adds a high-tech touch to the dressing room:
Pick a clothing item and stand in front of the mirror
The mirror scans the RFID tag and shows details like size, fabric, and style
It also suggests matching items (like hats or pants)
Place your hand on your head to see other customers’ reviews
This cool tool helps you make better choices—no need to ask a sales assistant.

RFID Shopping Cart: Smart Info on the Spot
GU also created an RFID shopping cart. Here’s how it works:
Place an item’s RFID tag on the cart’s reader
Instantly see available sizes, colors, and stock info
Scroll through real customer reviews for honest feedback
It’s like having a shopping assistant built right into your cart. It also cuts costs for GU by reducing the need for store staff.
