The Problem

How much does your operation lose to misplaced linen?

Towels, bed linen, robes and uniforms move between floors, the laundry and customers with no audit trail. What goes out never matches what comes back — and the shrinkage disappears into operating costs.

5–20%

Annual linen loss

Misplacement, mix-ups and premature disposal consume a large share of the textile stock every year — with no one knowing exactly where it went.

Slow, inaccurate manual counting

Counting item by item is time-consuming, prone to human error and never reflects the real stock in circulation at any given moment.

?

No item-level traceability

It is impossible to know how many wash cycles each item has been through, where it is, who holds it or which customer or contract it belongs to.

The Solution · The Tag

A silicone tag built to withstand industrial laundering

A small silicone tag with a UHF RFID chip is sewn in, heat-sealed or inserted into an internal pocket on each item. Discreet and flexible, it stays with the textile throughout its entire service life.

  • Waterproof and heat-resistant — withstands washing, drying, ironing rolls and pressing
  • 200+ industrial wash cycles — 3 to 5 year service life per tag
  • Chemical-resistant — detergents, chlorine/bleach and perchloroethylene
  • Contactless bulk reading — dozens of items per second, without opening the bundles
  • Flexible attachment — sewn in, heat-sealed or in an internal pocket

How It Works

From tagging to dashboard, in four steps

The technology runs in the background. Your laundry operation continues exactly as it does today — counting simply becomes automatic.

1
🏷️

Tag the textile

Each item receives an RFID silicone tag, linked to its type, customer, contract and date of entry.

2
🔄

Normal use and laundering

The textile follows its usual cycle of use and industrial laundering. The tag withstands every cycle.

3
📡

Automatic reading

RFID portals and handheld readers capture hundreds of items at once, on entry and on exit.

4
📊

Real-time dashboard

Inventory, location, wash cycles and item-level traceability, always up to date.
