About Textile tags

About Textile RFID tags

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) utilizes electromagnetic fields to transmit data via tiny tags affixed to textiles, carrying electronic stored information, enabling automatic identification and tracking of textiles. An RFID system consists of tags (or transponders) bearing data and a reader system (which reads that data and sends it to a computer system).

Since tags contain a unique ID associated with specific textile specifications, RFID enables laundry facilities to track and control textiles and assets throughout their entire lifecycle and at any point in the industrial process. This allows laundry facilities to know how many textiles are in circulation, which ones have been processed, their exact locations, durations, and reasons.

Following industries and businesses can benefit from Textile RFID tags

  • Hospitality Industry:
  • Healthcare Facilities:
  • Industrial Laundry Services:
  • Uniform and Workwear Management:
  • Linen Rental and Linen Supply:
  • Retail Apparel and Textile Tracking:

The benefit of Textile tags

The benefit of Textile RFID tags

Once unleashed, a dedicated RFID Internet of Things (IoT) solution will start to increase fundamentally any industrial’s bottom-line.

Optimise item utilisation rate: wash cycles and histories per item can become visible automatically, reducing the need for manual quality checks and unnecessary disposal of items at predetermined intervals.

Reduce stock per customer: you will know where all of your items are and have full active and passive stock visibility per customer, which will enable you to reduce redundant stocks.

Track personalised items: personalised textiles become traceable at the click of a button because RFID technology can give any item a unique, digital identity.

Know when & where items are lost: you will be able to pinpoint item location more precisely for in-house retrieval, or you will have the visibility data to bill customers for lost items.

Drive when necessary: you will know how many items are ready for washing at your customer, and when a pick-up makes sense to deliver on customer requirements.

Create new services: new business models become possible, such as laundry as a service, workwear as a service, or pricing per user.

Increase customer value: offer textile lending stations at your customers’ premises to offer the right items at the right time, at the right place.

Offer enhanced textile compliance: your RFID tags can alert customer employees to switch gear before entering a white room, enhanced hygiene, gluten-free, non-linting or other areas with very specific textile requirements.

The industry business application case of Textile tags

The industry business application case of EStar RFID Textile Tags

EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags find extensive application across various industries and sectors where efficient laundry and textile management is essential. From hospitality and healthcare to manufacturing and logistics, RFID technology revolutionizes traditional laundry processes, enabling organizations to improve efficiency, enhance traceability, and optimize resource utilization. Below are detailed descriptions of some key application scenarios where EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags are deployed:

  • 1. Hospitality Industry: Luxury hotels, resorts, and cruise lines rely on EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags to streamline linen management operations and deliver exceptional guest experiences. In hospitality settings, RFID tags are attached to towels, bed linens, bathrobes, and other textiles to enable real-time tracking and inventory management. Housekeeping staff can quickly scan RFID-tagged linens using handheld readers to update inventory records, track usage, and replenish stock as needed. By ensuring the availability of clean and high-quality linens, hotels enhance guest satisfaction, reduce wait times for laundry services, and maintain brand reputation for excellence.
  • 2. Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities leverage RFID technology to manage large volumes of healthcare textiles, including patient gowns, bed linens, and surgical scrubs. RFID Textile tags are embedded into textiles to enable automated tracking and tracing throughout the laundry cycle. Healthcare staff can use RFID readers to quickly locate specific items, monitor sterilization processes, and ensure compliance with infection control protocols. With RFID-enabled inventory management, healthcare facilities improve efficiency, reduce linen losses, and mitigate the risk of cross-contamination, thereby enhancing patient safety and operational effectiveness.
  • 3. Industrial Laundry Services: Commercial and industrial laundry service providers utilize EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags to optimize their operations and meet the needs of diverse customers. RFID tags are applied to linens from various industries, including hospitality, healthcare, food service, and manufacturing, to enable accurate tracking and sorting. Industrial laundry facilities deploy RFID readers and conveyor systems to automate processes such as sorting, washing, drying, and folding, reducing labor costs and turnaround times. RFID technology also facilitates batch processing, route optimization, and quality control, allowing laundry service providers to improve productivity, reduce errors, and deliver consistent results to their clients.
  •  4. Uniform and Workwear Management: Companies with uniform and workwear programs benefit from RFID-enabled solutions to manage their garment inventory efficiently. RFID Textile tags are attached to uniforms, safety apparel, and employee workwear to track usage, monitor laundering cycles, and enforce compliance with uniform policies. Employers can use RFID readers to identify individual garments, track employee assignments, and ensure proper rotation and maintenance. By implementing RFID-based uniform management systems, organizations improve asset visibility, reduce loss and theft, and enhance employee satisfaction and safety.
  • 5. Linen Rental and Linen Supply: Linen rental companies and suppliers leverage EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags to optimize their operations and provide value-added services to customers. RFID tags are embedded into rental linens, such as tablecloths, napkins, and towels, to enable accurate tracking and billing. Rental companies use RFID readers and inventory management software to monitor linen usage, track rental cycles, and generate accurate invoices based on actual usage. RFID technology also facilitates inventory reconciliation, loss prevention, and route optimization, enabling linen suppliers to improve operational efficiency and customer service while reducing costs and revenue leakage.
  • 6. Retail Apparel and Textile Tracking: Retailers and apparel manufacturers utilize RFID technology to track and trace garments and textiles throughout the supply chain. EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags are integrated into clothing labels, hang tags, and packaging to enable item-level visibility from production to point of sale. Retailers deploy RFID readers and inventory management systems to monitor inventory levels, track sales trends, and prevent stockouts or overstocking. RFID technology also supports omni-channel retailing, loss prevention, and product authentication, enhancing the customer shopping experience and driving sales growth.

In conclusion, EStar Technology’s RFID Textile tags offer a versatile and reliable solution for optimizing laundry and textile management processes across a wide range of industries and applications. By leveraging RFID technology, organizations can improve efficiency, enhance traceability, and deliver superior customer experiences while reducing costs and improving operational performance. From hospitality and healthcare to industrial laundry services and retail apparel tracking, RFID-enabled solutions revolutionize traditional laundry operations and unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth.
