RFID in Linen Tracking
HOW RFID WORKS IN LINEN TRACKING
From tagging to reporting – here’s how our RFID system works in linen tracking
01 - TAG
Durable RFID tags are securely heat-sealed or inserted into each linen item to enable long-lasting identification and tracking.
02 - SCAN
RFID readers, either fixed or handheld, instantly scan tagged linens without direct line of sight, saving time and effort.
03 - TRACK
Each linen’s movement through laundry, storage, and use is automatically recorded, providing complete visibility across locations.
04 - ANALYZE
Access real-time reports, alerts, and usage history to monitor linen lifespan, wash cycles, and inventory levels accurately.
05 - OPTIMIZE
Use data-driven insights to reduce linen loss, improve purchasing decisions, and streamline overall inventory and laundry operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Are RFID tags safe to use in commercial washing and drying processes?
Yes, the RFID tags used in our linen tracking system are specifically designed for high-temperature industrial wash cycles and harsh laundry conditions. They are waterproof, heat-resistant, and built to withstand repeated washes without affecting readability or performance.
-
How does RFID tracking reduce linen loss and theft?
RFID tags give each linen item a unique identity that can be scanned and tracked throughout its lifecycle. This ensures accountability at every step—whether it’s at check-in, during washing, or when delivered—making it difficult for items to go missing unnoticed or be misused.
-
How long do the RFID tags typically last?
Our RFID tags are built for durability and long-term use. On average, they last through hundreds of wash and dry cycles, maintaining their tracking functionality without degradation. Their lifespan aligns closely with or even exceeds that of the textiles they’re attached to.
-
Is the system suitable for small and medium-sized facilities?
Yes, RFID4U offers flexible and scalable solutions. Whether you’re a small clinic, boutique hotel, or large commercial laundry, our RFID linen tracking system can be tailored to your operational size and volume, with the option to expand as you grow.
-
What kind of ROI can I expect from implementing RFID linen tracking?
Most customers experience a return on investment within months due to reductions in linen loss, labor costs, and inventory errors. Additionally, better data visibility leads to smarter purchasing and operational decisions, further enhancing long-term savings.
