Smart Linen: Bringing Digital Upgrades to Laundry Plants and Hotels

All laundry factories are confronted with problems in various operations such as the collection and washing, handover, washing, ironing, outbound and inventory taking of linen. How to effectively complete the daily handover of washing, track and manage the washing process, frequency, inventory status and effective classification of each piece of linen? This is a matter of great concern in the laundry industry.

Problems Existing in the Traditional Laundry Industry

● The handover of washing tasks is complex, the procedures are complicated and the query is difficult.

● Due to concerns about cross-infection, it is impossible to carry out the statistics of the quantity of certain linen to be washed. The quantity that has been washed does not match the quantity at the time of collection, which is prone to commercial disputes.

● Each step of the washing process cannot be accurately monitored, resulting in the phenomenon of untreated linen.

● The usage and washing frequency of linen cannot be accurately recorded, which is not conducive to the scientific management of linen.

Based on the above issues, adding a chip to linen has already begun to be applied. H World Group, which has over 10,000 hotels worldwide, has gradually begun to implant RFID chips into the hotel linens to implement digital management of the linens.

Changes

For laundry factories, the addition of chips to linen can bring about such changes:

1. Significantly reduce the operational difficulty for front-line workers and solve the problem that washing workers cannot access the information platform.

2. By applying ultra-high frequency RFID and washable tags to give each linen an ID card, the problem of large-scale inventory and accountability for linen can be solved.

3. Through real-time location and quantity monitoring throughout the entire process, the problem of accuracy in large-scale inventory checks for traditional enterprises is solved.

4. Through the WeChat APP software that is fully transparent to customers throughout the entire process, the issues of mutual trust and data sharing between customers and laundry enterprises are resolved.

5. For laundry factories that produce shared linen, it is possible to fully grasp the number of washes and the life cycle of the linen, providing a basis for the quality of the linen.

The Components of the RFID Textile Laundry Management System

Through RFID technology, a complete set of linen washing management solutions is formed by a system software data platform and hardware technical equipment.

Establish an intelligent laundry management system for laundry factories, hospitals/hotels (leasing relationships)

Automatically collect data for each operation link of linen, including sending for washing, handover, entry and exit from the warehouse, automatic sorting, and inventory taking.

Realize the tracking calculation and information processing of the entire process of linen washing.

This can effectively solve the linen laundry management problems in hotels and hospitals, realize the full visualization of laundry management, and provide real-time data support for the scientific management of enterprises, optimizing the resource allocation of enterprises.

Not only that, the benefits that linen with a chip brings to hotels are also obvious. Traditional hotel linen has some problems such as unclear handover and low efficiency, difficulty in counting the number of scrapped items, inability to control the lifespan of linen, scattered information that is hard to analyze, and inability to trace the circulation process, etc.

After adding the chip, the entire process can be traced, eliminating the need for manual inventory checks and eliminating the troubles of reconciliation, inventory taking, and washing.

Looking forward to the future, both laundry factories and hotels will adopt more scientific and intelligent management methods to manage linen, continuously reducing the operating costs of hotels and laundry factories.
