We have a ready-made RFID Infant Monitoring Systems to track newborn infants. The Total Solution has been designed by us and has been implemented by Govt. of Tamilnadu. Our Solution Helps Prevent Theft of Newborn Infants.
Baby-lifting has been prevalent in our Government hospitals for years. With sprawling buildings, and hundreds of people walking in and out every day, these hospitals have struggled with the crime, despite CCTV cameras installed. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology may just be the perfect and cost-effective solution to this.
About the RFID Infant Monitoring Systems
Identium's RFID Infant Monitoring Systems is a ready-made hospital security solution for newborn wards, designed end to end by our own team and already implemented by the Government of Tamil Nadu. Baby-lifting has been prevalent in Indian government hospitals for years: sprawling buildings, hundreds of people walking in and out every day, and CCTV cameras that record an incident rather than prevent it. This RFID infant monitoring system for India works the other way round. Each newborn carries an RFID baby tag tied to the mother's record, and the moment that tag moves where it should not, staff get a real-time alert instead of footage to review afterwards.

Best-fit applications
- Maternity and post-natal wards in government medical college hospitals with several public entrances
- Private nursing homes and birthing centres where mother-baby matching must be auditable at discharge
- Special newborn care units where infants move between rooms for treatment and imaging
- District hospitals handling high delivery volumes under state health schemes
- Multi-block hospital campuses where lifts, stairwells and service exits all need cover
- Hospital security teams replacing CCTV-only watching with an active alerting system
Mounting, encoding and reading notes
Deployment begins with a site survey: every doorway, lift lobby and stairwell a newborn could pass through is mapped, and monitoring points are placed on those real routes rather than scattered around the ward. The infant tag is fitted at admission and stays with the baby until discharge, when it is released and returned for reuse. Wards are full of steel cots, trolleys and saline lines that all affect UHF behaviour, so read zones are tuned on site. Confirm the final configuration with us before you finalise ward coverage.
Why buy from Identium
Identium has designed and built its own RFID hardware and software in New Delhi since 2015, so a hospital deals with one Indian team for tags, monitoring points and the alerting software rather than three vendors pointing at each other. The system runs on the India 865-867 MHz band and stays ETSI 865-868 MHz compatible if the same design is quoted for an overseas project. Expect tags encoded to your patient record format, volume pricing for multi-hospital rollouts and free samples before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
What is an RFID infant monitoring system?
An RFID infant monitoring system is a hospital security solution that tags and tracks newborn babies in order to prevent infant theft. India RFID Store supplies a ready made system designed in house, for maternity wards where sprawling buildings and heavy daily footfall make manual supervision difficult.
Has this infant monitoring system been deployed in India?
Yes, this RFID infant monitoring system was designed by Identium and has been implemented by the Government of Tamil Nadu. It addresses baby lifting in government hospitals, a crime these hospitals have struggled with for years despite having CCTV cameras installed.
How does RFID help prevent newborn theft in hospitals?
In an RFID infant monitoring system each newborn carries an RFID tag that is monitored by readers within the hospital, so the baby location is tracked and unauthorised movement can be identified. RFID is a cost effective addition to CCTV in large Indian government and private hospitals.
How much does an RFID infant monitoring system cost in India?
The cost of an RFID infant monitoring system depends on ward size, the number of readers and tags, and integration requirements, so request a quote instead of a standard price. India RFID Store is an Indian manufacturer and supplies and supports these installations across India.
