Knogo tagging

Knogo - A brand name for security tags.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : So I was on the right track! Next question: when they say "knogo", do they actually mean tags of the Knogo brand, or is it like frigidaire, delco, etc.?

Yes, good intuition. No idea how it is used-never met the term before. Probably generic.

attachment of RFID security tags

I suspect this is a deformation of the English "no-go", a term that comes up a lot in reference to Radio-Frequency IDentification systems, i.e. those "magnetic" tags on clothes in a shop.

One site on the Ouèbbe describing the duties of a sales assistant lists "Mise sur cintre, knogottage, mise en rayon". I can well see such devices being pinned on once a garment is on its hanger, and obviously before it is put on display in the store.
