1. Project background
At present, places like hotels, amusement parks, large factories, hospitals and other places have a large number of uniforms to be processed every morning at work. Employees need to queue to the clothing room to pick up uniforms, just like going to a supermarket to check out. They need to register and receive them one by one. Later, they must be registered and returned one by one. Sometimes there are dozens of people in line, and it takes a few minutes for each person. Moreover, the current management of uniforms basically uses manual registration, which is not only very inefficient, but also often leads to errors and loss.
The uniforms sent to the laundry factory need to be handed over to the laundry factory every day. The staff in the uniform management office handed over the dirty uniforms to the laundry factory staff. After the two parties carried out the classification and count check of the uniforms, the two parties signed for approval. When the laundry factory returns the clean uniforms, the laundry factory staff and the uniform management office staff will check the type and quantity of the clean uniforms one by one, and both parties sign after verification. Every 300 uniforms require about 1 hour of handover time per day. During the handover process, the laundry quality cannot be checked, and it is impossible to talk about how to improve the laundry quality to increase the life of the uniform and how to effectively reduce the inventory and other scientific and modern uniform management. Especially as people’s awareness of disease prevention and treatment continues to increase, it is a very arduous task to count the number of medical suits when they are handed over.
For high-end hotels, hospitals and other units with high hygiene requirements, employees need to change and wash their work clothes regularly, and employees who do not change regularly need to be urged. The current manual management method cannot monitor whether employees are regularly changed and washed, and it cannot be scientifically based on employees’ attendance. The dynamic adjustment of the frequency of staff uniform changes.
The use of uniforms to commit crimes is constantly increasing. How to ensure that the uniforms of the unit are not used by people with bad intentions after they are lost. It has also become a very important issue for many enterprises and institutions.
Ultra high frequency (UHF)RFIDBecause of its feature that it can be read in large quantities at a time from a long distance, it has been widely used in various industries. At present, many hotels, hospitals, and amusement parks in the world have adopted this label to manage their uniforms, which not only effectively improves the efficiency of uniform management, but also greatly reduces the labor cost of uniform management.
As the leading RFID brand-ThingMagic agent of Trimble, Shenzhen Quanshunhong Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully used ThingMagic-UHF RFID equipment in various scenarios in cooperation with major operators/integrators. , Service phone: 400-0581-580
2. System composition
The system consists of the following parts:
UHF RFID reader: Thingmagic-M6 (in line with EPC global C1G2 standard)
UHF RFID antenna: FUWIT 8dbi circularly polarized external UHF RFID antenna
Electronic label: washable label
Server: used for background data collection and processing
Software: uniform management software, database software
Three, successful cases
Mei Hotel deploys automated UHF RFID uniform management system
An ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID uniform management system was implemented in Rocksino Northfield Park, a subsidiary entertainment venue of the Hard Rock Hotel in northeastern Ohio. Hard Rock wanted to automate the control and management of the hotel’s more than 6,000 employee uniforms.
Rocksino Northfield Park is a 200,000-square-foot gaming and entertainment venue that opened in December 2013 and features video lottery terminals (VLTs), entertainment venues, 4 dining venues, and horse racing.
The UHF RFID uniform management system uses rubber-encapsulated EPC Gen2 RFID tags to be attached to the uniform property of service personnel. Each tag has an ID number linked to a specific type of data related to the project, as well as cleaning records.
If the clothes are being washed or in use, the system can communicate and record the uniform location of each piece of clothing to control the inventory in real time. A unified ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID uniform management system, and also records all unified use and washing cycles, and predicts the replacement requirements for accurate financial budgeting.
Rocksino Northfield Park in Hard Rock is a gaming, entertainment, and dining destination with more than 750 staff. The unified management system eliminates cost losses caused by missing assets and reduces errors in employees and laundry rooms.
Implementation in a hotel
The uniform management of a hotel has always been manual registration, and uniforms are distributed to hundreds of employees every day. Every morning when I go to work, I have to line up to pick up uniforms in the clothing room. Sometimes there are dozens of people in line, and it takes 3 minutes for each person. It’s like going to a supermarket to check out. You need to register and borrow them manually.
In order to improve production efficiency, the hotel has introduced an ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID uniform management system. The hotel puts a label on each uniform and automatically uploads the data to the server through the chip. When a set of uniforms is checked by the reader , It can instantly read all the clothes’ model, size, color and other information without scanning the bar codes one by one as before. In addition, due to the use of labels for clothing management, the hotel has also adopted a clothing self-service system to improve efficiency. The hotel sets up the self-service system outside the clothing room. After the employees receive the clothing, they only need to go to the instrument, swipe the employee card, and then put a few uniforms in front of the UHF RFID reader to quickly confirm the loan. The system greatly saves the time for employees to lend out uniforms. At the same time, if an employee takes the wrong uniform, the system can also automatically remind the employee based on the clothing style and size recorded in the employee card. After adopting this system, the system has improved the efficiency by more than 50%.
4. Project features:
1. Because the interface of this label adopts the EPC global C1G2 specification, this specification has been widely popularized and applied as a de facto global standard. Therefore, its versatility allows users to use existing ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID readers to read and write the tags, instead of repurchasing special readers. So as to help customers maximize the control equipment investment.
2. Because the UHF RFID reader can read hundreds of tags at once (Thingmagic UHF RFID reader M6/Astra, embedded M6e UHF RFID module, reading speed It can reach 750 tags per second, which is the world’s smallest ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID module with the fastest reading speed). In addition, the tags can be read across the package. The tag information can be read through UHF RFID readers without opening the packaged uniform, so the work efficiency is greatly improved during the transfer of uniforms. The handover work that used to take several hours can be shortened to a few minutes.
3. It can count and query the washing times of each uniform, arrange reasonable recycling and scrap time, and arrange orders in a timely and reasonable manner, so as to achieve efficient management of inventory and uniform life cycle.
4. The department and staff information of each uniform can be inquired. This function can be effectively used to prevent theft of uniforms and improve the awareness of employees to keep personal uniforms.
5. UHF RFID uniform management system, processing speed is fast, accurate and safe. Improve the efficiency of uniform distribution, collection, and collection management, increase the efficiency of inventory, storage and exit management, and reduce human errors that are likely to occur during manual management.
