HOW IT WORKS

From trolley to record.
From record to the right delivery.

Every item gets its own identity. Read points add to its history without manually transcribing individual labels.

FROM RECEIVING TO DISPATCH00:00 / 01:20

The trolley arrives at the laundryEvery textile item has its own RFID identity.

Illustrative order flow. Read zones are designed and validated for the actual trolleys and textiles.

01

Textile tagging

A sew-in RFID tag is stitched into the textile; a heat-seal version is attached with a heat press according to its datasheet. Its record links it to the textile type, customer and initial status.

02

Receiving metal trolleys

The trolley passes through a designed read zone. Read items are assigned to the receipt and order; the operator resolves unknown or unrelated items.

03

Washing and cycle recording

Items assigned to a wash batch receive a new record once the cycle is confirmed complete. A terminal or an operational system integration can provide that confirmation.

04

Sorting and order assembly

Clean linen is folded and prepared for the customer. The system checks ownership, required quantities and items belonging to other orders.

05

Verifying the full outbound trolley

At dispatch, the items actually read are compared with the expected delivery. Missing, extra or wrong-customer textiles are visible before release is confirmed.

06

Handover and continued circulation

Delivery records and movements are saved. Textiles travel to the customer and continue their existing history on the next return.

A DISCREET TAG. A LASTING IDENTITY.

Small in the textile.
Essential in the record.

An industrial UHF laundry tag is a soft, narrow identifier designed for repeated laundering. Sew-in versions fit in a hem or pocket. Heat-seal versions are attached to a suitable textile area with a heat press.

  • No battery and no optical line of sight required
  • A unique ID for every towel, linen item or garment
  • Selected for washing, drying, chemicals and pressing
  • Existing compatible tags can be used after validation

We select and test the tag and attachment method on your textiles. Temperature, pressure and lifetime limits depend on the chosen type.

One ID.
Answers where you need them.

History comes from recorded events. The wash count increases when a completed batch is confirmed, not each time an antenna reads the item.

IDENTITY

Who owns this item?

Customer, type, size, commissioning date and owner. A foundation for correct order assembly and rental textile records.

MOVEMENT

Where was it last seen?

The latest read point, time, order and status. RFID records passage through a zone; it is not continuous GPS tracking.

LIFETIME

How much use has it had?

Completed wash cycles, repairs and retirement reasons. Combined with a physical inspection, these support replacement planning.

CHECK BEFORE DEPARTURE

239 out of 240?
Catch the difference in time.

Try the example order. Dispatch verification compares both item identities and counts — the correct quantity alone is not enough.
