Inceased effeciency, tracking, precision in laundry and textile services

The basis of the technology is a batteryless (passive) microchip fitted with a radioantenna – this is called tag, transponder or simply label – and a radiofrequency transmitter/reciever unit – simply the reader – connected with an antenna. Communication between the two units happens with the help of radiowaves.

The nowadays conventional technology offers more and newer potentials to its users with decreasing cost.

Traditional laundry applications use HF tags, however, the requirements of logistic applications brought about the development of UHF tags opening up new prospects for laundry logistics as well. (for more information about the technology differences see the RFID basics topic)At the site of takeover and handover for laundry or borrowing services automatic RFID identification is performed making it unnecessary to count the pieces one by one.

Instruments of textile identification

Tags

Specially developed labels (tags) are used for the identification of textiles which are heat-resistant to 220°C, can tolerate pressure up to 40 – 60bars and are resistant to chemicals/detergents

RFID tags with different size and technology for the identification of textile, carpets and containers. With or without a pouch, to be sewed, glued, vulcanised or fixed with screws.

RFID readers:

Wide range of readers is availbale in different size and technology depending on the requirements, for example:

Flat-plate reader

Built-in or as a separate unit for the elegant and orderly handover of clean textile.

Tunnel reader

For the mass identification of soiled textile in bags.

 Handheld reader

For searching and inventory, with or without display.

Laundry application software

The softwware developed by Smartfreq Ltd. operates the RFID devices and processes the incoming data. A list is created about the pieces taken or handed over, which can be supplemented manually.

A receipt can be printed and saved to the database. In case of a false receipt cancellation can be made in accordance with the strict invoice rules. The software can be fitted to other informatics systems, asset or company management systems. The software can be customized, expanded or transformed according to the demands of the client on custom agreement.
