For
laundry organizations, managing cloths and uniforms for hundreds to
thousands of workers can be a difficult process, with a few places
tracking tens of thousands of attire items independently allotted to
each hotel. Keeping track of other material things is additionally a
tricky task, with hotels adjusting the need to never run out with
their limited capacity space for safety stock and guaranteeing that
laundry organizations deliver on time. And as numerous resorts
continue to send items off-site for washing, laundry organizations
have negligible visibility into what percentage of items are returned
for linen and uniform stocks. Omega's MaxLaundry
offers solution to each of these issues.
Features:-
1.
Reduce Manual Laundry Sorting.
Hospitals,
lodgings, laundry offices, or any company with numerous sorts of
materials have a sorting process for laundering purposes. The
laundering handle is as a rule encouraged by 2-8 individuals at
diverse laundry chutes, and workers may spend hours sorting through
laundry.
With
an RFID laundry management system, RFID tags are connected to each
piece of clothing, and when the RFID labels move through the assembly
line, an RFID reader sends an interrogating signal and reads the
tags. When each tag is examined, the program decides what sort of
material is being read, and directs it to the proper area or machine.
The software’s discoveries can be shown on a screen so that a
person can quickly coordinate the textile or linen to its following
destination.
2.
Provide Accurate Wash Count Records.
The
laundry wash cycle per garment is an critical metric, as wash cycle
analytics offer assistance predicting the end-of-life date for the
garment. Most cloths or uniforms can only withstand a certain number
of high powered wash cycles. It gets to be troublesome to estimate a
garment’s end-of-life date with no records of wash cycle checks,
which makes it difficult to plan for the reordering of replacements.
When
pieces of clothing or linens are discharged from the washing
machines, RFID readers identify the RFID tags sewn into the fabric.
After that, the wash cycle count will be updated in the database.
When the software recognizes that a garment or linen is nearing its
end-of-life date, the software can prompt users to reorder that sort
of garment or linen. This process guarantees that the company always
has stock of each garment or linen required, hence reducing lag time
if one is lost or destroyed.
3.
Provide Visibility Into Inventory
Companies
without visibility into their inventory cannot precisely plan for
events, conduct efficient operations, or prevent lost and stolen
items. If materials are stolen, and the company does not conduct
daily inventory checks, they may go up against potential delays in
day-to-day operations due to wrong stock.
RFID
labels sewn into each material help the company take inventory
speedier, more proficiently, and daily. RFID readers placed in each
storage room take a nonstop inventory to help accurately demonstrate
where cloths are lost or stolen. Tallying inventory with RFID also
helps companies that use an offsite laundering service. Taking
inventory before the linens leave the facility as well as when they
return ensures that there's no loss in the laundering process.
4.
Reduce Loss and Theft.
Right
now, most companies across the world are employing a single, manual
inventory strategy to try to account for misplaced or stolen
materials. Unfortunately, human error is present when workers are
counting hundreds or thousands of materials. When checking ceases,
and the entire material count comes up short, the following step is
to try and recognize where the break in the system dwells. Usually,
when items are stolen, there's essentially no way to discover the
guilty party, much less get repaid or have the item returned.
Unique
EPC numbers on each RFID tag enable the company to recognize the
exact material misplaced or stolen and where it was last examined. If
a material or garment is taken from a particular room in a hotel or
hospital, the visitor can be charged for the cloth which guarantees
that the company does not lose money.
5.
Provide Meaningful Customer Information.
Companies
that rent materials have the unique opportunity to learn about their
customers through the RFID tags on the rented materials. Sewing RFID
tags into materials helps document information such as previous
renter, lease date, and lease duration. Keeping these records will
help the company understand item popularity, item history, and
customer preferences.
6.
Enable Accurate Check-In and Check-Out System.
Loaning or leasing materials can be complex unless the company ingrains a brief strategy to preserve data such as loan date, due date, customer data, and material data. An RFID system with software can provide a custom database that not only stores the vital data, but also prompts the company when the due date is nearing. A system with this capability permits companies to communicate approximate back-in-stock dates to their customers. Providing customers with approximate rather than hypothetical return dates improves customer relations and, in turn, improves material rentals by removing unnecessary bother.
