Order flow, trolley types, volumes and handover points.
DEPLOYMENT AND INTEGRATION
Respects your operation.
Fits its rhythm.
Receiving and dispatch are often the best starting points. We add read points where they actually improve linen flow and order verification.
Sample validation
Your textiles, tags, metal cages and realistic loading.
Pilot and measurement
Read performance, operator time and customer batch verification.
Go-live
Training, operating procedures and records integration.
A READ ZONE BUILT FOR REALITY
The metal trolley is part of the design.
We configure antennas, travel direction, shielding and sensitivity for the actual location. Densely packed metal cages may need controlled passage, a reading cabin or multiple read positions.
The pilot also tests wet textiles and nearby trolleys. The goal is to capture the correct batch without including items from a neighbouring order.
What the pilot must prove
- Reading your tags in the actual arrangement
- Distinguishing passage from repeated reads
- Detecting missing and wrong-customer items
- Handling incomplete reads and outages
- Benefits against current time and error rates
Results depend on configuration. We determine accuracy and the required operating procedure through pilot measurements.
Technology, data
and people in one flow.
Linen keeps moving. The records keep pace.
Read points and terminals
UHF RFID readers, suitable antennas, read zones and clear terminals. An optional handheld reader supports stocktakes and investigation of differences.
Orders and events
Textile identities, customers, receiving, wash batches, dispatch and exceptions. Role-based permissions and traceable history.
Your ERP and processes
Import existing records and design data exchange with your ERP. APIs, exports and any customer portal are scoped as part of the project.
Questions you may have.
Do we need to tag all linen immediately?
No. A pilot can cover one customer, textile type or part of the circulation. RFID visibility covers tagged items; untagged items follow an agreed alternative procedure.
Can we use our existing metal cages?
Often yes, but reading depends on cage construction, loading, moisture and tag position. We validate a sample first, then adjust antennas, shielding or the passage procedure.
How is one wash counted?
Textiles are assigned to a wash batch. Only its confirmed completion creates a wash-cycle event. An operator or available integration confirms it; repeated RFID reads must not increase the wash count.
Will the tags survive industrial washing and drying?
Sew-in or heat-seal tags designed for industrial laundries are used. Selection depends on temperature, chemicals, pressure and attachment. The chosen type’s datasheet and tests on your textiles establish its limits and lifetime.
What happens if the whole batch is not read?
The system shows the difference from the expected order. The operator repeats or supplements the read, or records an explained exception. Dispatch procedures are designed to keep the discrepancy visible.
Will it work during an internet outage?
Local buffering, terminal availability and subsequent synchronisation are part of the design. We specify and test outage behaviour before go-live.
Can you connect it to our information system?
We first review your ERP capabilities and agree data flows — customers, orders, receipts, deliveries or billing inputs. Integration is priced according to the actual interface and scope.
