Linen washing is a crucial aspect of daily management in hotels. Before washing, linens typically need to be sorted by color, texture, brand, and other categories, which can take 2 to 8 people several hours to sort different linens into separate chutes. This process is quite time-consuming. However, with the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) RFID technology, the application of RFID laundry tags can solve this problem.
RFID laundry tags are widely used in various linen washing processes due to their high-temperature and high-humidity resistance. Many laundry facilities and their clients have adopted RFID laundry tags to track and manage linens and assets, transforming the traditional manual record-keeping of washing processes into fully automated handling and documentation.
Application Process
After sewing RFID tags onto textiles, users can easily track the number of linens in circulation, how many are processed daily, the number of washes, and more. This significantly reduces linen loss rates and enhances profitability for users. The process includes:
Sewing RFID Tags: RFID tags are sewn onto linens, and customer and garment information is written into the electronic tags, establishing a link in the system.
Receiving Linens: The laundry facility receives the garments with electronic tags.
Sorting and Washing: After sorting, the linens enter the washing process, and their current status is updated upon completion.
Client Pickup: When clients collect their linens, the laundry facility verifies the client’s pickup slip against the electronic tag information to ensure accuracy before handing over the RFID-tagged linens.
Product Introduction
Ultra-high-frequency RFID laundry tags are widely utilized in the laundry industry due to their waterproof, moisture-resistant, ultra-high-frequency, high-temperature, and wash-resistant characteristics. They can be easily integrated into textiles (linens) through sewing or heat sealing. Each tag has a unique identification ID, ensuring high quality and reliability.

Important Considerations
When sewing, ensure that the stitching does not damage the metal wire or chip module on the tag.
For heat sealing, optimal results are achieved when the temperature reaches 218 degrees Celsius (for 15-20 seconds) and the pressure is between 0.6 MPa and 0.8 MPa. If the temperature is below 210 degrees or the pressure is less than 0.6 MPa, there may be risks of poor heat sealing.
Different reading and writing facilities have varying performance capabilities.
RFID technology brings a new transformation to the laundry industry. UHF RFID Laundry tags help identify and record cleaning times, cleaning requirements, customer information, and washing frequencies, reducing the error rate of traditional manual operations and significantly improving management efficiency.

FAQs
What is RFID technology?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects, allowing for efficient data collection and management.
How do RFID laundry tags improve efficiency?
By automating the tracking and management of linens, RFID tags reduce manual sorting time, minimize errors, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
Can RFID laundry tags be reused?
Yes, RFID laundry tags can be reused multiple times as long as they are properly maintained and not damaged during the washing process.
What types of textiles can RFID tags be applied to?
RFID tags can be sewn or heat-sealed onto various textiles, including hotel linens, hospital garments, and industrial uniforms.
Are there any limitations to using RFID technology in laundry management?
While RFID technology greatly enhances efficiency, it requires compatible reading and writing facilities, and proper installation is crucial to avoid damaging the tags.
RFID tags (Radio Frequency Identification) have become essential in industries like logistics, retail, healthcare, and beyond. As companies focus on sustainability, many wonder: Can RFID tags be reused? The simple answer is yes, but there’s more to it.
