The one-stop IoT development and cloud service platform provides industry customers with self-service intelligent product development tools and open cloud services. Through fool-proof self-service tools, perfect SDK and API service capabilities, the technical threshold of IoT development is minimized, the R&D cost of industry applications is reduced, the product production speed of solutions is improved, and customers are helped to upgrade hardware intelligence and better connect and serve end customers.
Using IoT technology, UHF RFID tags are implanted in each piece of textiles to authenticate their identities, and the chip data is connected to the Internet in real time. This not only allows the lessor (hotel) to know the material, specifications, size, number of washes, etc. of each textile anytime and anywhere; but also the real-time data reading and monitoring of textiles in the whole process of sending, receiving, washing, drying, ironing, folding, packaging, and transportation, so as to realize the management of the whole life cycle of textiles and ensure the provision of high-quality services.
IoT technology is the core soul of the intelligent rental and washing model. The most important thing is that it fundamentally changes the relationship model between the hotel and the washing party. Linen is leased instead of purchased, and the property rights are changed. The ownership is changed from the hotel to the washing party. This seemingly insignificant change fundamentally solves the conflict of interest between the hotel and the washing party. First of all, the washing party owns the linen, so it will naturally invest in good detergents to maximize the service life of the linen, and will not reduce the process to reduce manpower and energy consumption. For the hotel, the one-time investment becomes an installment investment, which alleviates the financial pressure of buying a large number of linens for the first time.
Secondly, in order to better play the advantages of modern washing equipment, the washing party implants RFID chips in the linen, so that the time-consuming manual counting in the past can be replaced by electronic equipment in one second, reducing the workload of both parties and maximizing the liberation of manpower. In particular, how RFID tag can reduce the loss and theft of linen. At present, most companies around the world are using a single manual inventory method to try to identify lost or stolen linens. Unfortunately, when employees are faced with hundreds or thousands of textiles, human counting errors will occur. And when items are stolen, there is almost no way to find the criminals, let alone return them.
The unique EPC number on each RFID tag enables us to identify the information of lost or stolen textiles, as well as the location where it was last read and the person who last handed it over. Through the WeChat APP software that is transparent to customers throughout the entire process, we can solve the mutual trust and data sharing problems between customers and laundry companies to ensure fair and just division of responsibilities.
Again, if the linens are damaged, yellowed, have flying edges and other quality problems that affect the hotel customers’ experience, the hotel can ask the laundry to replace them, so as to ensure that the best side is presented to customers at any time, and improve the hotel quality and customer satisfaction.
Finally, there is one more point. The strength and scale of the laundry parties that adopt this modern model are largely higher than the market level, and at the same time meet the national environmental protection requirements. From the perspective of their own brand awareness and professionalism, they will have a better improvement in the washing quality of the linens, and even benefit the healthy development of the entire linen industry.
For consumers, when they walk into the guest room when checking in to a hotel, the first thing they usually care about and worry about is the hygiene of hotel linens such as sheets, pillowcases, and towels. As a lessee, the hotel has a unique opportunity to visualize and communicate information through RFID tags and platforms, so that consumers can understand that the linens are washed with better washing technology to ensure higher washing quality, meet the user’s demanding quality requirements, and maintain interaction with consumers to enhance customer stickiness. For linen manufacturers, their large fixed asset investment needs to quickly recover funds. Now the homogeneous competition in domestic linen transactions is becoming increasingly fierce, and exports abroad are relatively weak. Participating in the innovative linen leasing model is a new profit growth point for linen manufacturers. This technological model not only brings the funds needed for linen leasing, but also requires a certain amount of R&D capabilities to produce linens that are more suitable for leasing, injecting new impetus into production enterprises.
For washing parties, with the strong promotion of national environmental protection policies and the further increase in labor and energy costs, low-capacity washing plants without a certain scale and financial strength will gradually be eliminated. A large number of washing dragons are online, and modern washing plants are gradually increasing. Only by constantly innovating and reforming the current model and implementing linen leasing as soon as possible can they be at the forefront of the industry.
For linen rental users, especially the hotel industry, with the increasingly standardized development, the most direct benefit of adopting the subversive traditional smart rental and washing model is to reduce the pressure of linen procurement/daily circulation/idle inventory, and effectively ensure the quality of hotel linens, which can save money, worry and effort.
1. Improve the efficiency of manual sorting With the RFID intelligent management system, when the UHF RFID tag is read by the RFID reading device, the read information can be displayed intuitively on the screen, so that people can immediately direct the textiles to the next destination.
2. Provide accurate washing times The washing cycle of each textile is an important metric because it helps to analyze and predict the service life of textiles. After each wash, the RFID reader detects the laundry RFID tag sewn on the textile, and the washing times can be automatically updated in the software database. The software also detects and analyzes the expected life of each textile, which can prompt users to reorder and effectively ensure user inventory.
3. Quickly and conveniently provide visibility of inventory.
4.Companies with invisible inventory cannot accurately plan events, conduct effective operations, or prevent lost and stolen items. If textiles were stolen and the company did not conduct daily inventory counts, many textiles could experience delays in daily operations due to inaccurate inventory.UHF RFID tags sewn into each piece of textile help the company conduct inventory management faster and more efficiently. RFID readers placed in each storeroom conduct continuous inventory counts to help pinpoint exactly where linens are lost or stolen. Using RFID tag to count inventory also helps companies that use off-site cleaning services. Counting linens before they leave the facility and when they return ensures that nothing is lost during the cleaning process.
