Application Introduction
At present, hotels, hospitals, baths and professional washing companies are facing the process of handling thousands of pieces of work clothes, linen handover, washing, ironing, finishing, storage, etc., how to effectively track and manage each piece The washing process, washing times, inventory status and effective classification of the linen are a great challenge. The traditional washing industry mainly faces the following problems:
1. Handover of paper washing tasks, complicated procedures, and difficult inquiries;
2. Due to the fear of cross-infection, the statistics of certain linens to be washed cannot be carried out, and the mismatch between the washed quantity and the time of collection may cause commercial disputes;
3. Each step of the washing process cannot be accurately monitored, and the linen has been missed;
4. The problem of accurately categorizing the washed linen.
The introduction of UHF RFID radio frequency identification technology will make the user’s laundry management intelligent. ThingMagic M6 is a four-channel UHF RFID reader with excellent performance. It has a high-speed reading capability of 750 tags/sec. At the same time, the industry-leading anti-collision algorithm can ensure that the reader can achieve high-speed processing of tags. The key feature of missed reading, and it can connect up to 4 antennas to work at the same time, and the coverage is wider, which is convenient for the rapid statistics and handover of large-scale linen to be washed. ThingMagic M6 also has ultra-high receiving sensitivity, which is especially important for the reading of some wet linen tags during the handover process. The higher receiving sensitivity can better adapt to the harsh reading environment.
The good reading performance of ThingMagic reader can help users to realize the transparency, intelligence and high efficiency of laundry management, and solve the management problems that cannot be achieved by other technologies in the past.
A button-shaped (or label-shaped) electronic label is sewn on each piece of linen. The electronic label has a globally unique identification code, that is, each piece of linen will have a unique management identification until the linen is scrapped (label Can be reused, but does not exceed the service life of the label itself). In the entire linen use and washing management, the ThingMagic RFID reader can automatically record the linen’s use status and washing times. It supports batch reading of labels during washing handover, making the handover of washing tasks simple and transparent, and reducing business disputes. At the same time, by tracking the number of washes, it can estimate the service life of the current linen for users and provide forecast data for the purchase plan.
system design
1. Label sewing
The button label can be sewn through a small cloth bag or directly on the linen to be managed. The sewing position is easy to find. It is recommended to choose a fixed position.
2. Data Entry
The chip in the RFID tag can store data, associate the attributes of each piece of laundry to be managed with the RFID tag ID to the database, and record and track the workflow and life cycle of each piece of linen.
3. Linen handover
Install a fixed reader channel in the hotel, the reader is connected to the washing center system. After the laundry is packaged, the fixed reader can directly load the linen information in batches, and generate the handover list in real time.
4. Other
The software side of the system can realize the tracking of washing status, statistics and early warning of the washing times of linen, scrap of linen, inventory management and other functions.
ThingMagic M6 read-write device can be well used in laundry management applications, and will bring customers the following benefits:
Labor can be reduced by 40-50%;
The visualization of more than 99% of linen products reduces the risk of missing linen;
Improved supply chain management will reduce work service time by 20-25%;
Improve the accuracy and reliability of stored information;
Efficient and accurate data collection provides operational efficiency;
Automatic collection of data for distribution, recycling and handover, reducing human error;
Reduce the overall cost of user linen washing management.
