RFID Tags for Private Wear and Personal Garment Tracking

RFID tags for personal garments enable laundries, nursing homes and residential care communities to accurately track residents’ clothing throughout every wash cycle without compromising comfort, appearance or everyday use.

Personal garments vary widely in size, fabric and construction, and the RFID tag may be positioned close to the skin. The solution must therefore be discreet, comfortable and suitable for many different garment types while continuing to provide reliable identification through repeated laundry processing.

Datamars RFID tags for private wear are small, invisible once inserted and virtually imperceptible when worn. They are OEKO-TEX® certified and suitable for direct contact with the skin. The tags can also be visually marked to support quick manual recognition whenever required.

Combined with customised Datamars reading systems and connected tracking software, each garment can be automatically identified throughout collection, washing, sorting and redistribution. This helps prevent clothing from being mixed between residents, reduces manual checks and sorting errors, and improves the likelihood that every garment is returned to the correct person.
