Maybe you are a very family with the above problems or even bothers you now. But do not worry, all the above problems can be solved perfectly with our RFID laundry tag.

How does the washable tag work?

Here a picture show to you:

From the working process, you can see that clearly, only a simple RFID tag for laundry, read & software can make it.

The reading range can also vary depending on the reader and also the conditions of the fabric, such as if it is wet or dry. The laundry RFID tags are designed to endure the hotel and institutional laundry processes providing durability and suitability for washing, drying, dry cleaning and ironing.

Also according to your function, need for bulk tracking or check the details in the tag one by one? Usually passive UHF or HF chip for choice.

Let’s see in details why you should choose this passive RFID tag?

     1. Reduce manual cost and improve efficiency

With multiple types of textiles in the hotel, all need sort everyday manual. However, usually facilitated by 2-6 people at different laundry chutes, and employees may spend hours sorting through the laundry. If you own a large hotel, means you have to hire a huge number of employees but very low efficiency.

With an RFID laundry management system, RFID tags are sewing to each piece of laundry. Set up an RFID reader on the conveyor, put all laundry on the conveyor, the reader can identify which area and machine the laundry should go. Only 1-2 people need to supervise the whole process.

The labor cost cut down by 1/4 and efficiency improved 2/3.

    2. Reduce mistake by human beings.

Currently, most hotels across the world are using a single, manual inventory method to try to account for textiles. Unfortunately, There is no doubt that there are always mistakes by human beings when employees are counting hundreds or thousands of textiles. When counting ceases, and the total textile count comes up short, the next step is to try and recognize where the break in the system resides. Usually, when items are stolen, there is virtually no way to find the culprit, much less get repaid or have the item returned.

Such as 1000pcs linen take out to the laundry room, maybe 1002pcs linen return to your hotel. That’s not mean you get gifts, means you have to cost time and labor to pick 2pcs out from the total.

However, installing with RFID laundry tags, the machine can divide for you automatically and reduce mistake.

    3. Record wash records

As a 5-star hotel, people would like to get a high-quality service including the linen. How many times can be washed for a bed sheet is strict.

However, who can remember so many sheets by memory or even write it down. With RFID label system can know clearly the washing count records, washing date, time, and quantity. When garments or linens are released from the washing machines, RFID readers detect the RFID tags sewn into the fabric. Next, the wash cycle count will be updated in the software database.

When the software detects that a garment or linen is nearing its end-of-life date, the software can prompt users to reorder that type of garment or linen. This process ensures that the company always has stock of each garment or linen needed, therefore reducing lag time if one is lost or destroyed.

At this time, you can tick it out. So never worry about the complaint from your client. Anyway, reputation is an important thing for such a high-level hotel.

    4. Reduce loss and theft

Has this thing ever happened to you?

“ I am looking for a tag to put into towels that get washed every day that work like shop security as I have a customer that are having towels stolen each day. Do you have a system they can put at the front door and in the towels so an alarm rings if someone takes a towel? ”

If you don’t have such thing, congratulation! If you are bothered by this thing, congratulation too! Why? From now on, you can solve it with our tags.

Unique EPC numbers on each RFID tag enable the company to identify the exact textile lost or stolen and where it was last interrogated. If linen is taken from a specific room in a hotel, the guest can be charged for the linen which ensures that the hotel does not lose money.

You may be curiousness about how to check those items in a short time? The workers can take the hand-held reader with a set of a list, after scanning all items, anything missing is clearly.

    5. Warehouse inventory management

How many linens are using now? How many should be replaced in the near future, are you clear about it?

Too much inventory or shortage? Endless say sorry to your clients?

An RFID system with software can provide a custom database that not only stores important information but also prompts the hotel when the due date is nearing. A system with this capability allows hotels to communicate approximate back-in-stock dates.

RFID tags are sewn into each textile help the hotel warehouse take inventory faster, more efficiently, and daily. RFID readers placed in each storage room take a continuous inventory to help accurately indicate where linens are lost or stolen. Counting inventory with RFID also helps hotels that use an offsite laundering service. Taking inventory before the linens leave the facility as well as when they return ensures that there is no loss in the laundering process.

Not only for bed sheets, but also for employees’ garments.
