Why UHF Washable RFID Laundry Tags
Passive UHF RFID Laundry TAG has many advantages, such as fast transmission rate, anti-collision, mass reading, low price and so on.
Currently, places such as hotels, amusement parks, large factories, and hospitals have a large number of uniforms that need to be processed every morning.
Employees need to queue up in the clothing room to get their uniforms, just as they need to check in for shopping at a supermarket, and then check in again when getting off work.
Open Question:
Sometimes there are dozens of people in line, and it takes a few minutes each. Moreover, the current management of uniforms is basically manual registration, which is not only very inefficient but also leads to mistakes and loss.
The uniforms need to be handed over to the laundry every day. The staff will hand over the dirty uniforms to the laundry company. Laundry will send back the clean uniforms, then both parties check the type, number, and sign.
Every 300 uniforms need one hour of hand-over time per day, and the laundry quality cannot be checked during the hand-over. There is no way to talk about how to improve the quality of laundry to increase uniform life and effectively to inventory management.
Especially as people’s awareness of disease prevention and treatment is growing, the number of clothing handover inventory work is a very difficult task.

What’s more, the use of uniforms to commit crimes is also increasing. How to ensure that the unit’s uniforms are not used by people with bad intentions has become a very important issue.
Based on this, we have developed several waterproof, heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, alkali-resistant UHF RFID tags.
RFID technology applied to the management of uniforms. And the UHF RFID laundry tag’s reusable nature greatly improves its cost-effectiveness, making the tag’s average cost per use very low.
At present, there are many hotels, hospitals and amusement parks around the world that adopt such RFID tags for laundry to manage their uniforms. It’s not only effectively improve the efficiency of uniform management, but also greatly reduce the cost of manpower.
System Composition
RFID Tags for Laundry:
Read and write device: reader conforming to EPC global C1G2
Server: used for background data collection, processing
Software: Laundry management software, database software
The basic workflow of the system:
Through the waterproof RFID Laundry, the management system can instantly and accurately complete the uniform recycling, logistics, and acceptance. It greatly improves uniform management efficiency.
With machine washable RFID tags tracking management system, the workers can check where the uniform is and how many times washed. RFID Laundry System can be set up in advance when should dispose of the uniform after wash many times.
The status of uniform:

In addition, due to the use of washable RFID tag for clothing management, the hotel has also introduced a clothing self-service system to improve efficiency. When the employees pick up the clothes, they can simply go to the front of the equipment, swipe the staff card, and put several uniforms in front of an RFID reader, and quickly confirm.
If there any unmatched size compare to the staff card, the system will remind.
