The Texcare trade fair in Frankfurt is always a highlight for us. This is where the who's who of textile care meet to find out about future trends, current developments and the latest product and machine solutions. It goes without saying that we will be there - in Hall 8.0, Stand A91!
Anyone visiting Floringo will immediately recognize that modern technologies do not just play a major role in production: Chipped towels and bathrobes now also provide the best service in laundry processing. With the help of smart RFID transponders, terry linen can now be counted and “tracked” at every turn in the laundry, invisibly and automatically! This is made possible by radio frequency identification technology (RFID), which is familiar from department stores and other places. In the laundry, however, the new chip technology performs many more services and not only recognizes thieves at the exit.
Smart terry textiles
In a modern laundry for hotel textiles, RFID technology is used to permanently identify the textiles within the facility, with an impressive range of up to 10 meters. The textiles are fitted with special, washable transponders so that the installed readers can recognize the individual laundry items at such a distance. They consist of a textile carrier to which a data carrier is attached, the central component of which is a microchip. This in turn is connected to an antenna that extends to the right and left of the chip. This design explains the length of the UHF RFID tags: They are a few centimeters long, which is of great advantage. The tags can be easily sewn into the hem of a terry towel or bathrobe without leaving a trace for hotel guests, so that the product identification is not noticed.
On air with terry toweling!
We are seeing an increasing number of textile service companies and laundries switching to contactless tracking of textiles using RFID technology. We have developed a new all-round service package for them, which we will be presenting at Texcare: At the customer's request, we will take over the labeling of our goods with the RFID system used by the company. We stock the transponders of all major manufacturers in-house and have them sewn directly into every terry article. We even label small face towels if requested.
Butterfly effect with transponders sewn into terry toweling
Small help, big effect - that's how the plus points of our service package can be summarized. Delays caused by the customer ordering and providing transponders do not occur. Instead, we can react immediately and make up for valuable time! Sew-it-yourself? A thing of the past, as well! Instead of laboriously sewing tags in your own laundry, we do the work for you. Above all, our chipped towels can be instantly integrated into the operating process, upon delivery! It could hardly be quicker!
For all those who have no time to lose, we offer yet another service: From fall 2024, we will be stocking smart standard goods from stock. We will be equipping the white cloths in our new “Comfort-Line” series with transponders as standard. This will enable us to respond to customer orders within a very short space of time and send chipped terry towels on their way immediately.
Get on RFID radio with us! We will be happy to present our smart solutions to you in person at Texcare 2024!
