Why RFID

Why use RFID in the laundry sector

In today’s laundry market, the full and fast control of the industrial process is a critical prerequisite for competitiveness and efficiency in the laundry market.
For an industrial laundry, automation plays a very important role in having a cost structure that streamlines the operations’ focus on value-adding activities, reducing manual labour, saving costs and gaining efficiency.
But operations are just a part of this picture: also asset control is key for a laundry.
How many textiles are in circulation? Where they are exactly? How many units are processed per day? How long do they last and why?
RFID technology properly helps industrial laundries answer these questions by significantly improving the textile identification and sorting processes.
By attaching tiny transponders (microchips) to textiles, they can be easily identified in the workflow, improving efficiency, reducing textile losses and increasing profitability.
