RFID Textile Laundry Management in Norway

Background

Challenge

Solution

• Unique textile identification through washable RFID tags:
  Each uniform, linen item, and textile asset receives a unique RFID identity, enabling lifecycle tracking from collection and washing to storage and delivery.
• High-speed textile identification with C5 RFID Reader:
  C5 enables fast bulk reading of RFID-tagged textiles, allowing employees to complete large-scale inventory checks and verification tasks more efficiently. Supporting a read rate of 1,300+ tags per second and a reading range of up to 30 meters, C5 is suitable for high-volume operations in laundry centers, warehouses, and distribution areas. Its RFID tag locating capability also helps staff quickly find specific textile items during sorting and inventory tasks.
• Mobile workflow support with P80 RFID Tablet:
  The P80 RFID Tablet provides an 8-inch display for viewing textile information, operation instructions, and workflow data during washing, sorting, and delivery processes. Its large-capacity battery design supports extended mobile operations in demanding working environments.
• End-to-end digital textile management:
  RFID devices automatically capture textile movement data during collection, sorting, storage, and delivery, creating a complete digital record of each item’s status and location.
• Improved laundry and delivery coordination:
  Real-time RFID data helps reduce manual verification steps, accelerate textile circulation, and improve coordination between different operational stages.

Result

• Faster textile inventory operations by replacing manual item-by-item verification with RFID bulk identification.
• Improved sorting and delivery accuracy through automated identification and RFID-based item tracking.
• Greater visibility into textile circulation with real-time records of item status, location, and movement history.
• Higher employee productivity by reducing manual registration and repetitive checking tasks.
• Improved operational coordination across collection, washing, storage, and delivery processes.
• Advanced digital transformation in textile services through RFID-enabled lifecycle management.
