Hotels, hospitals, bathhouses, and professional laundry companies need to handle thousands of pieces of linen every year. The processes of handing over, washing, ironing, organizing, and storing linen are very complicated. The traditional manual management mode requires manual review and input of data one by one, which limits work efficiency; The hygiene management and washing management of linen are also particularly demanding.

The drawbacks of traditional linen management

1. The manual handover of washing tasks involves complex procedures, and paper registration labels are prone to loss, making it difficult to query.

2. To prevent cross infection of linens, the number of linens to be washed cannot be counted, and the number of washed linens does not match the task volume, resulting in disputes.

3. The washing process cannot be accurately monitored, resulting in missed handling of linen.

4. The washed linen cannot be accurately classified and stored in a reasonable manner.

The introduction of RFID washing tags based on Internet of Things technology has perfectly solved various problems and drawbacks in washing management. By sewing a strip shaped RFID washing tag for each piece of cloth, the information of each link of the cloth can be recorded in the entire cloth use and washing management. Through RFID readers or RFID handheld terminals, the washing data of the cloth can be quickly obtained in batches (such as number, name, type, material, washing times, etc.). The introduction of RFID technology makes the washing management of the cloth more transparent and improves work efficiency.

RFID linen washing management process

1. Sewing of linen tags: RFID water washed tags are sewn onto the linen and clothing to be managed through small cloth bags or directly. The sewing position is easy to find, and it is recommended to choose a fixed position uniformly.

2. The linen information input associates the linen information to be managed with the RFID tag ID in the database, recording and tracking the workflow and lifecycle of each linen item.

3. Automatic counting of linen is divided into incoming counting and outgoing counting. For packaged waste, the entire package can be counted and the handover quantity can be verified through RFID reading and writing devices. At the same time, clean linen that is ready to be returned to the user can also be confirmed for accurate quantity and listed through RFID devices.

4. The clean washing of linen is checked and verified by an RFID reader to confirm if any linen is missing during the washing process, and a record is printed and handed over to the user. RFID washing tags can collect and record the number of times linen is washed, predict linen lifespan, and control linen inventory reasonably.

5. Using the uniqueness of RFID washing tags, linen sorting statistics help sort linen from various areas. Before packaging, RFID readers are used to confirm if there are any misplaced items. By scanning the linen tags, information about each item can be queried to prevent loss or confusion, and all linen data can be counted. RFID water washing tags are the core technology in RFID linen washing management. They follow the linen through every washing process, including high temperature, high pressure, impact, and multiple repetitions. Therefore, RFID water washing tags are required to resist the chemical substances used in the cleaning process, as well as the high temperature environment during cleaning, drying, and ironing processes. They must have characteristics such as bending resistance, repeated rubbing, water resistance, dry cleaning, acid and alkali resistance, and can be washed up to 200 times in a cycle. They should also have high recognition sensitivity and support multiple tag recognition simultaneously.

RFID fabric washing management is widely used in the collection, disinfection, industrial washing, sorting, and distribution of fabrics, clothing, and textiles in hotels, hospitals, and factories. It can quickly complete the inventory and storage of laundry products, making fabric washing management more transparent, reducing error rates, improving work efficiency, and making fabric washing control safer and more reliable.
