HOTELS & HOSPITALITY

Hotels, resorts and cruise ships manage large volumes of guest linen, bathroom textiles, F&B linen and staff uniforms across multiple departments. Whether linen is washed in-house or handled by an external industrial laundry, the challenge is the same: maintaining accurate visibility over what is in circulation, what is in process, what has gone missing and when items need replacing.
The most common operational problems are well known. Towels and bathrobes leave the property with guests. Discrepancies accumulate between items sent to the laundry and items returned. Stock shortages surface only during manual inventory counts. Uniforms are delayed, misallocated or simply unaccounted for across shifts and departments.
RFID gives each textile item a permanent, unique identity that is tracked automatically at every stage: collection, laundry intake, washing, sorting, distribution and return. Housekeeping and laundry teams, whether working together on-site or across a hotel-laundry partnership, share an accurate, up-to-date picture of what has been processed, what is available and what is missing. No manual counts. No unresolved discrepancies.
Wash count data recorded per item supports lifecycle management. Instead of replacing linen on a calendar schedule, hotels can track real usage and plan replacements based on actual wear, reducing unnecessary procurement and maintaining consistent quality standards.
For guest-facing items, Datamars RFID tags are imperceptible: invisible, with no impact on textile feel or appearance. For staff uniforms, RFID enables automated dispensing and return tracking across departments.
Datamars Textile ID offers RFID tags for flat linen, towels, bathrobes and garments, combined with reading systems and software that integrate into both in-house laundry workflows and external laundry service operations.
