Keeping Track of Cadets' Togs

Regarding the RFID tag implementation for the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets:

Sadly, the Omnino2 system failed so spectacularly during Freshman check-in that the new RFID system was set aside. The software proved so laggy and difficult to identify items that the lines were delayed almost 2 hours before the legacy tracking system (Oracle and MS SQL based, not written as claimed in the original article) was restored. The lines were caught back up in 45 minutes' time once the Omnino2 system was turned off.

The RFID tags have also proven difficult to obtain through the vendors selected for this project, causing delays in basic operations, while the tag-pockets are fraying and releasing the laundry-style SYSTAG tags in some cases. Solutions are being sought for these issues while alternatives are being examined for a replacement to the Omnino2 failure.
