Amid a greater drive for achieving optimal efficiency, many industries are seeking new ways to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and increase profitability—businesses such as hospitals, healthcare facilities, and commercial laundries that are reliant on high-volume linen management are no exception.

In highly competitive markets where the quality of linen furnishings plays a crucial part in the service experience levels delivered by businesses and enjoyed by clients, monitoring and managing the availability, lifecycle, and utilisation of linen assets is crucial for maximising profitability and optimising customer satisfaction.

This is where RFID laundry management system integration comes in. By using Radio Frequency Identification, these solutions can transform traditional linen management operations for far greater outcomes.

Read on to discover the main advantages of choosing laundry management systems powered by RFID technology and how it can help businesses optimise linen management processes and boost profitability.

What are the advantages of implementing an RFID laundry management system in businesses?

Reduced linen losses

Linen losses can be a significant expense for facilities, with items often going missing or being misplaced. RFID technology provides real-time visibility into the location and status of each linen item, making it easier to track and manage inventory. This increased visibility helps prevent losses and reduces the need for frequent replacements, ultimately lowering costs. Additionally, RFID systems can generate alerts for items that have been missing for an extended period, allowing for prompt investigation and recovery.

Enhanced inventory accuracy

One of the most significant benefits of RFID laundry management system integration is the dramatic improvement in inventory accuracy. Traditional methods, such as manual counting or barcode scanning, are prone to human error and can result in inaccurate inventory records. RFID technology automates the tracking process, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring that inventory data is accurate and up-to-date. This allows facilities to maintain better control over their linen inventory and make more informed decisions.

Increased operational visibility

RFID technology provides powerful insights with detailed reporting and analytics for a comprehensive view of the entire linen management process, from the moment linens are received to their final use. This enhanced visibility allows managers to monitor the status and location of linens in real-time, identify bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions to optimise operations. The ability to track the movement of linens throughout the facility also helps improve accountability and reduce the risk of theft or misuse.

Improved efficiency and time savings

Opting for RFID laundry management system implementations can streamline the entire linen management process, from receiving and sorting to washing and distributing. RFID tags can be read automatically, without the need for line-of-sight scanning, allowing for faster and more efficient processing of linens. This automation reduces the time and labour required for inventory counts, sorting, and tracking, freeing up staff to focus on other important tasks. The result is a more efficient operation with reduced labour costs.

RFID technology provides real-time visibility into the location and status of each linen item, making it easier to track and manage inventory. This increased visibility helps prevent losses and reduces the need for frequent replacements, ultimately lowering costs. Additionally, RFID systems can generate alerts for items that have been missing for an extended period, allowing for prompt investigation and recovery.

Bundle Track enhances laundry productivity and linen management

Bundle Track is a revolutionary laundry asset management system that can help businesses improve their linen management pipeline by simplifying and streamlining processes.

With its cloud capabilities, it can read information transmitted from an RFID chip embedded in a linen cloth. Information can be relayed from the software about a linen item’s location in real-time, decreasing incidents of lost items due to theft or misplacement.

This system can significantly reduce a business’s expenditure needed to replace lost items. Its user-friendly features make it easy for employees to monitor linen utilisation and track linen inventory statuses. With Bundle Track, businesses can maximise their cost-saving measures, boost workforce productivity, and improve overall ROI.

Client success stories

"The transition to Bundle has been instrumental in Allied Laundry continuing to drive change and business improvement by providing real-time customer ordering information, streamlined ordering, and billing processes and have enabled a considerable reduction in staff time. The system has been a real success story for Allied Laundry."

Mark Mabbet

"No question is a stupid question in the eyes of the Bundle team. Their customer service, expertise and knowledge ensured a smooth transition for me when I purchased my business. The system is user friendly and easy to navigate, while syncing seamlessly with my accounts package."

Geraldine Minogue

Associated Laundry Services

Since the transition from a manual, paper-driven system to Bundle, the time spent managing orders through to invoicing has been reduced by some 75%. From an administrative perspective, it is far easier to track the progress of orders, respond to queries (and resupply dockets).

The management abilities for individual account needs with set days, recurring orders, fixing cut-off times, adding notes to orders and pick-ups means that all relevant persons have the same information.

Customer support is also given a high priority and queries and concerns are met promply and efficiently.

FAQs

How is RFID used in a washing machine?

Washing machines equipped with RFID readers can automatically detect and read the RFID tags embedded in laundry items. The RFID readers are strategically placed within the washing machine to ensure that all tags are read effectively, regardless of the position of the items within the machine. When the machine is loaded with tagged items, the RFID reader scans and identifies each item, recording its presence and relevant data.

What is an RFID laundry tag?

An RFID laundry tag is a small, durable electronic tag designed for tracking and managing linens and garments in laundry operations. These tags contain a microchip and an antenna, allowing them to communicate with RFID readers. They are typically made from materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of washing and drying, such as high temperatures, water, and pressure.

What is RFID management?

This system uses RFID tags embedded in or attached to linens, RFID readers to capture data from these tags, and a central database to store and process the information. The technology provides real-time visibility into the location and status of each linen item, automating inventory tracking, sorting, and distribution processes.
