RFID for hospital laundry

All RFID Laundries Hospital laundry Industrial laundries

Traceability RFID for hospital wear and hospital textiles

Hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities, the management of textiles has a direct impact on availability, operational efficiency and cost control.

Sheets, pillowcases, gowns, uniforms, towels or surgical clothing constantly enter and leave between plants, warehouses, internal laundries and external suppliers. With RFID, each garment can be identified uniquely to know its location, history, washing cycles and status within the circuit.

More control between hospital, laundry and assistance service

The RFID solution allows for the automation of receiving clean laundry, dirty laundry control, service replenishment, garment tracking, and inventory management.

Dipole RFID combines textile labels, readers, tunnels, antennas, and software so that hospitals and sanitary laundries work with reliable data, reduce losses, and improve the availability of critical garments at any moment.

Applications of RFID for Hospital Laundry

Complete RFID solution for hospital laundry

IDENTIFICATION

In Dipole we offer RFID solutions to uniquely identify towels, uniforms, gowns, surgical garments and other healthcare textiles through reusable and wash-cycle adapted RFID tags. Each item can be associated with information such as type of textile, hospital, service, owner, number of washes or status.

DETECTION

We integrate readers, antennas, tunnels, cabinets and portable devices to automatically detect items during collection, sorting, washing, drying, shipping and receipt. RFID technology allows for the reading of large volumes of textiles without the need to count or scan each individual item individually.

MANAGEMENT

We connected the RFID technology with the laundry and hospital management systems to automate inventory, control entries and exits, record washing cycles, identify losses and know the availability of clean and used clothing at each location.

Benefits of RFID for hospital laundry

Traceability and automatic identification

The RFID solutions for hospital laundry identify products, lots, assets or logistics units automatically and record origin, location, status, movement and destination to provide a reliable end-to-end traceability.

Accurate Inventory and Stock

RFID in Hospital Laundry allows for faster inventory and maintaining updated stock, reducing differences between physical inventory and the system and facilitating replenishments, recounts and real-time availability.

Validation and error reduction

RFID validation in hospital laundry helps detect incorrect references, quantities, lots, orders, assets or movements before they generate incidents in reception, preparation, production, shipment or delivery.

Automation and operational efficiency

By automating readings and records, RFID reduces repetitive manual tasks in hospital laundry, accelerates workflow and improves productivity in warehouse, production, logistics or service operations.

Asset, Equipment, and Returnable Control

RFID facilitates the control of assets, equipment, tools, containers, pallets, or other reusable elements in hospital laundry, recording location, use, movements, returns, and maintenance to avoid losses and unnecessary purchases.

Quality, security and compliance

With RFID, hospital laundry improves quality, security, compliance and audits by linking each reading with controls, incidents, reviews, conservation, expiration, documentation or internal requirements for traceability.

Integrated Data and Real-time Visibility

Rfid readings for hospital laundry are integrated with ERP, WMS/SGA, MES, GMAO, CRM, LIMS or other systems, converting each physical movement into reliable, visible and actionable operational data in real-time.

More agile, cost-effective and scalable operation

RFID converts the hospital laundry operation into a more agile, cost-effective and scalable process, with less operational friction, better service, greater control and a solid foundation to grow without relying on manual registration.
