Optimize management of the wash cycle with Chainway's mobile and fixed reading solutions
In the industrial laundry industry, traceability and efficient textile management are essential to ensure quality service, optimize wash cycles and limit losses. Every day, thousands of garments, uniforms, sheets and other textiles circulate between customers and laundries, requiring rigorous tracking to guarantee fast, accurate returns.
Chainway traceability solutions automate textile management using RFID and barcode technologies. By integrating UHF/HF RFID readers and 1D/2D scanners into their Mobile computers, laundries can identify, track and manage each textile in real time. This digitalization improves productivity, reduces counting errors and enables better inventory control. What's more, 4G/3G and Wi-Fi connectivity ensure instant data transmission to the management platform, providing greater visibility over the entire process.
As dirty textiles are collected, operators scan the RFID tags or barcodes embedded in the linen to record their receipt. This data is automatically sent to the central server, guaranteeing precise tracking of the volume and type of textiles processed. Thanks to Chainway's Mobile computers , sorting is optimized according to wash categories, priority levels or customer specifications, reducing the risk of errors and mix-ups.
During the washing process, the laundry remains identifiable at every stage, enabling continuous monitoring of the cleaning cycle. Once processed, clean items are scanned again before being stored or prepared for delivery. Chainway terminals facilitate this process by automatically assigning a storage location to textiles, thus avoiding losses and improving warehouse organization.
Before being shipped back to customers, the linen is scanned to ensure that it corresponds to the planned orders. This digital validation significantly reduces delivery errors and improves customer satisfaction. Thanks to Chainway on-board computers integrated into delivery vehicles, laundries benefit from real-time tracking of deliveries, GPS positioning and fleet management. This solution guarantees smoother logistics and complete traceability, from pick-up to return of textiles to customers.
By adopting Chainway traceability solutions, industrial laundries gain in efficiency, reduce waste and improve the overall management of their business.
