1. A system, comprising:
at least one receiver within a facility that transmits signals to wearable objects and receives identification information from the wearable objects; and
a wearable object comprising a flexible wearable material and having an assigned identification number; and
at least two electrically separate antennas located within the flexible wearable material and provided as components within a single identification tag of the wearable object, wherein each of the at least two antennas are passive antennas and assigned to the identification number of the wearable object and any of the at least two antennas are activated upon receipt of a signal from the at least one receiver and provide identification information derived from the identification number to the at least one receiver in response to receiving the signal from the at least one receiver;
wherein the at least two antennas are designed and configured within the wearable object to prevent detuning of the at least two antennas when the wearable object is worn by a user, wherein the at least two antennas are configured with a spacing between the at least two antennas so as minimize an amount of overlap between the at least two antennas when the wearable object is worn by a user, wherein the at least two antennas are designed comprising a folded antenna design, wherein the at least two antennas are laterally spaced within a single layer of the wearable object such that, when the wearable object is worn by a user, at least one of the at least two antennas is located at a first point on the user wearing the wearable object and at least another of the at least two antennas is located at a second point on the user different from the first point;
wherein in response to receiving the identification information from the any of the at least two antennas, the at least one receiver identifies a location of the user within the facility and a system within the facility is updated with a status of the user based upon the location of the user.
