Supply Chain/Logistics: Using RFID to Track and Sort Commercial Laundry

Published: May 6, 2013

Like many other industrial laundry companies, Village Uniform and Linen searched for a solution that would enable the firm to efficiently manage the volume of items traveling to and from customers. Most such businesses not only provide cleaning services, but also products—such as floor mats, linens or uniforms. On a regular basis, a delivery worker picks up the soiled items, transports them to a location for laundering and sorting, and then returns them, cleaned and ready for use. Learn how Village Uniform and Linen installed interrogators at the facility’s entrance, for use when soiled items are first received, and at various locations during the cleaning, sorting and shipping processes. Hear how the technology is used to track when and how often each item is laundered, as well as ensure that the proper garments are loaded onto the correct trucks once cleaning is completed.
