RFID Laundry Tags for Commercial Laundry Management
In industries where textiles are handled in large volumes, such as hospitals, hotels, and manufacturing facilities, managing linen and uniform inventories can be a significant challenge. Traditional methods, like manual counting and sorting, are time-consuming and prone to error. Our RFID linen tags provide a robust solution to these challenges, ensuring efficient tracking, inventory management, and process automation.
RFID Laundry Tags for Commercial Laundry Management
RFID linen chips are small, rugged tags embedded with a radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip and antenna, designed specifically for tracking linens and textiles in industrial settings. These chips are heat sealed or sewn into items like sheets, towels, uniforms, and other fabrics to enable automatic identification and tracking throughout their entire lifecycle. Unlike traditional barcode systems, RFID chips do not require direct line-of-sight to be read; they can be scanned remotely from a distance, even when items are stacked or inside bags. This makes RFID linen chips a powerful tool for efficiently managing large volumes of textiles in a range of industries.
With the scale of the industrial laundry and rental garment segments grow, so does the demand for automation, increased knowledge, inventory control and precision asset management.
So far, less than 1% laundry industry has deployed RFID in the worldwide. Companies who have implemented RFID laundry system benefit a lot. Furthermore, some washing industry actively regard RFID as the basic configuration of upgrade technology. Predictable, in the near 3-5 years, RFID deployment will enhance laundry industry profound technological improvements. Furthermore, prices to RFID devices and RFID textile tags keep decreasing but with better quality and more steady e-performance which is a necessary advantage which initiates an innovation.
Regardless of whether your business is involved in large-scale laundry washing, accurate washing records, or reducing theft, RFID laundry tracking tag may be beneficial to you. Here are the reasons why RFID can help you track clothing, uniforms, PPE, linen sheet etc:
- Reduce manual clothing classification
The washing sorting process is used in hospitals, hotels, laundry facilities, or any company that has multiple types of textiles. Usually, 2-6 people use different washing tubs to facilitate the washing process, and employees may spend hours sorting clothes.
In RFID laundry washing management, textile UHF laundry tags are attached to each piece of clothing. When the RFID UHF laundry tags pass through the assembly line, after reading each tag, the software will determine the type of textile to be read and direct it to the appropriate area or machine. The data reading results of the software can be displayed on the screen, so that people can immediately direct the textile or linen to the next destination.
Using RFID fabric laundry tag can help eliminate the manual sorting process and can greatly reduce the number of people on the sorting line. No need to hire personnel to read barcodes or identify linens, only 1-2 people can move items to the next process, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency
- Provide accurate washing count records
The washing cycle of each piece of clothing is an important indicator, because the analysis of the washing cycle helps predict the end of life of the clothing. Most linens or uniforms can only withstand a certain number of high-power washing cycles before they begin to wear and wear. Without a record of washing cycle counts, it is difficult to estimate the service life of the garment. When the software detects that the service life of clothing or linen is about to end, the software can prompt the user to re-order that type of clothing or linen. This process ensures that the company always has the inventory of every garment or linen it needs, thereby reducing the lag time for loss or damage.
- Provide visibility to inventory quickly and easily
Checking inventory in a timely manner can accurately plan events, conduct effective operations or prevent items from being lost and stolen. If textiles are stolen and the company does not conduct daily inventory counting, due to inaccurate inventory, it may face delays in daily operations.
UHF textile RFID tag sewn into each type of textile can help companies count inventory faster and more efficiently. The RFID readers placed in each storage room will continuously count
- Reduce loss and theft
The unique EPC number on each UHF textile tag allows the company to identify the exact textile that was lost or stolen and where the data was last collected. If you get linen or clothing from a specific room in a hotel or hospital, you can charge guests for linen to ensure that the company does not lose money.

RFID Tags for Hotel Linen Management
Hotels manage large volumes of linens such as bedsheets, towels, pillowcases and bathrobes on a daily basis.
Without accurate tracking, linen loss, manual counting errors and unclear lifecycle visibility often lead to increased operational costs.
Our RFID laundry tags for hotel linen management to withstand the demanding laundry environment while enabling reliable item-level identification throughout the entire laundry process.
Key benefits for hotel linen management include:
- Suitable for hotel bedsheets, towels, pillowcases and other reusable linens
- Resistant to high-temperature washing, drying and ironing processes
- Enables fast and accurate inventory checks during laundry cycles
- Helps reduce linen loss and manual counting workload
By embedding durable RFID laundry tags into hotel linens, hotels and commercial laundries can gain better control over linen circulation, improve operational efficiency and reduce replacement costs.
RFID Tags for Uniform & Workwear Tracking
Managing staff uniforms and industrial workwear often involves frequent washing, centralized storage and strict accountability requirements.
Traditional manual methods make it difficult to track garment usage, monitor lifespan and prevent loss.
Our RFID laundry tags for uniform and workwear tracking provide a reliable identification solution that supports full lifecycle visibility across commercial laundry operations.
Typical uniform and workwear applications include:
- Staff uniforms in hotels, hospitals and service industries
- Industrial workwear used in factories, logistics and maintenance operations
- Centralized uniform management across multiple departments
Key advantages of RFID-based uniform tracking:
- Enables lifecycle tracking across repeated wash cycles
- Improves accountability by associating garments with departments or employees
- Reduces uniform loss and unnecessary replacement
- Supports efficient inventory audits and distribution control
With RFID-enabled uniform and workwear tracking, organizations can optimize garment utilization, improve cost control and maintain consistent service standards.
How RFID Laundry Tags Support Commercial Laundry Operations
Commercial laundry operations involve multiple stages including collection, sorting, washing, drying, ironing and redistribution.
RFID laundry tags play a key role in improving visibility and operational efficiency across each of these stages.
At the collection and sorting stage, RFID-enabled linens and garments can be quickly identified without manual counting. This reduces labor intensity and minimizes human errors during large-volume handling.
During washing and drying cycles, durable RFID laundry tags maintain stable performance under high temperatures and repeated processing, ensuring that each item remains traceable throughout the entire lifecycle.
At redistribution and inventory checkpoints, RFID tags enable faster verification of returned linens or uniforms, supporting accurate inventory control and reducing loss rates.
By integrating RFID laundry tags into commercial laundry workflows, operators gain:
- Improved inventory accuracy
- Reduced manual counting time
- Better lifecycle tracking of textiles
- Lower replacement costs caused by loss or misplacement
Rather than relying on manual tracking methods, RFID-based identification enhances operational transparency and supports scalable laundry management processes.
RFID laundry tag integration is particularly valuable for hotels, uniform management providers and industrial laundries seeking higher operational efficiency and long-term cost optimization.
