Optimize Hotel Linen Management with RFID Laundry Tags

Imagine a large hotel with hundreds of towels, sheets and quilts to wash every day. Just counting whether each one is still there is enough headache. In addition, it is easy to make mistakes when washing, sending to the wrong place or mixing up.

Now, there is a clever little technology that is quietly changing all this, and it is – RFID laundry tags.

What exactly is an RFID laundry tag?

RFID is the abbreviation of “radio frequency identification” technology. To put it simply, it is: a small tag that allows linens (such as towels, sheets, bathrobes) to have an “electronic ID card”.

This tag is sewn on the corners of the linens. It feels as soft as cloth, but it contains a small chip that can be automatically identified. Each piece of linen has its own unique number. You don’t need to see it with your naked eyes. Just scan it with a machine and you will know

Compared with traditional methods, what is the advantage of RFID?

The traditional way is to look at the label with the naked eye, scan it with the barcode, and only scan one piece at a time, and enter it into the computer, which is very slow and prone to errors.

The way of RFID is: once hundreds of linens are put over, they will be automatically identified instantly, without even looking at the label, and you can know how many there are, how many are missing, and which ones are missing in a few seconds.

Just like you are still queuing up to check out in the supermarket, and others have already used the automatic checkout channel to check out and leave.

What are the obvious benefits of using RFID tags in hotels?

 Faster and more accurate inventory counting
No longer need to count towels one by one, the machine will know everything once it passes, and how many are missing.

 Great savings in labor costs
Originally, several people took an hour to count the inventory, but now one person can do it in a few minutes, and employees can spend their time on more important things.

 Record the number of times you wash, and you can see at a glance when to change it
For example, if a sheet is washed 200 times, the system will automatically remind you: “It’s tired and can be retired.”
This way, it will not be eliminated too early, nor will it be worn out and still used.

 The label can be washed, ironed, and is not afraid of high temperatures
Our RFID tags can withstand washing, bleaching, ironing and other processes. It can be washed hundreds of times without any problem. It will not fall off, will not break, and will not pierce the skin.

Is RFID laundry tag worth investing in?

Many hotels will worry at first: “Is this system too expensive?” But in actual use, many customers found that:

A lot of linens are lost less

A lot of new towels are bought less

Inventory time is several times faster

Manpower is saved

The money saved in a year far exceeds the cost of RFID tags at the beginning. It can be said that this is a smart and practical investme
