Laundry & Textile

RFID Solutions for Laundry & Textile

In laundry and textile operations — whether uniform rental, hotel linen, industrial garments or hospital textiles — the pressure is on for high turnover, minimal shrinkage, full lifecycle traceability and compliance with hygiene/cleaning standards. Manual counting, barcode reliance and siloed systems struggle under large volumes and repeated wash/dry cycles. RFID labelling offers automated visibility at item level, enabling service providers and textile owners to shift from reactive loss-control to proactive throughput and utilisation optimisation.

The Bottlenecks

Industry Challenges

High Shrinkage & Loss Rates

Textiles are frequently lost, stolen or unaccounted for after washes or customer dispatch — with losses in some cases reaching 20% or more.

Slow Turnaround & Low Utilisation

Manual sorting, counting and tracking of garments/linen slows processing, reduces throughput and increases idle stock.

Poor Item-Level Visibility

Customers, laundries and textile owners often lack real-time data on where items are in the cycle, how many are in-use, how many need replacement or are missing.

Compliance & Quality Risk

Textiles used in healthcare, hospitality or industrial settings must meet hygiene, wear-cycle and traceability standards — tracking via paper or barcode often falls short.

The Solution

How RFID Helps

Reduced Shrinkage & Loss

RFID enables tracking each item throughout the laundry and textile lifecycle, reducing unaccounted-for items and associated replacement costs.

Compliance, Wear-Cycle & Quality Insight

RFID lets providers track number of wash cycles, detect when an item should be replaced, and generate audit-ready data for hygiene or rental compliance.

Lean Stock Holding & Cost Optimisation

With better visibility and loss reduction laundries can reduce buffer stocks, cut inventory investment and improve margin.

Real-Time Visibility & Accurate Stock Position

With RFID each item’s status (e.g., at customer site, in wash, in store) becomes visible — reducing blind spots and improving responsiveness.

Application Scenarios

Item-Level Linen Tracking

Tagging individual sheets, towels and tablecloths so each item’s location, cycle status and usage count are visible.

Uniform & Workwear Management

Tracking rental or service-work uniforms through wash, use and return, ensuring correct items are in circulation.

Wash-Cycle Visibility

Monitoring textiles through washing, drying and pressing to record number of cycles, wear status and trigger replacement.

Automated Sorting & Dispatch

Using tagged items at entry/exit of laundry facilities to automate sortation and dispatch flows, reducing manual scanning.

On-Site Usage Monitoring

Tracking how many items are currently at customers’ sites, how many are in transit or lost, enabling better inventory planning.

Lifecycle & Sustainability Insight

Capturing data on wash counts, age, reuse vs retire decisions to drive textile lifecycle strategies and sustainability metrics.
