As IoT technologies continue to reshape traditional industries, the commercial laundry sector is undergoing a digital revolution. At the heart of this transformation are RFID laundry tags—tiny devices that bring smart tracking and management to textiles.
RFID washable tags are specially designed to endure harsh laundry conditions, including high temperatures, moisture, pressure, and chemicals. They are sewn into linens, uniforms, towels, and other textiles to enable contactless identification and real-time tracking throughout the washing, drying, ironing, and sorting process.
Compared to traditional barcodes or manual entry, RFID technology offers faster data collection, improved accuracy, and significant cost savings.
In hospitals, RFID laundry tags help track the lifecycle of surgical gowns, bed linens, and other critical fabrics—ensuring hygiene compliance and reducing losses. Hotels use RFID washable tags to monitor towel usage, laundry cycles, and item location, improving service and operational control.
Large-scale laundry service providers benefit from the ability to scan hundreds of items within seconds using RFID readers, which significantly improves sorting efficiency and inventory accuracy.
With advancements in materials and chip design, modern RFID washable tags are thinner, more flexible, and more durable—surviving over 200 wash cycles. Some tags can even withstand industrial dryers and high-pressure ironing without degradation.
This allows businesses to integrate RFID with ERP, POS, or warehouse systems, enabling end-to-end visibility from use to return. The result? Higher efficiency, better resource allocation, and smarter data-driven decision-making.
