RFID Platforms for Linens, Laundry 
& Uniform Management

Managing linens and uniforms manually presents serious challenges for organizations such as hotels and resorts, convention centers, hospitals and more — anywhere cleanliness, availability and accountability are critical to operations. Without automation, textile inventory is difficult to manage and increasingly expensive, especially as the cost of quality materials rises.

Manual linen and uniform management is slow, error-prone, and costly for organizations such as hotels, casinos, and commercial laundries. Reliance on paper logs, spreadsheets, and physical counts leads to losses from wear and tear, theft, and laundry errors—while making it difficult to accurately track usage or verify laundry bills.

RFID-based systems automate inventory tracking, reduce labor and physical strain, and minimize errors across the linen and uniform lifecycle, improving staff efficiency and customer satisfaction.

HID’s RFID platforms—the Acuity Platform for linen management and the InvoTech Platform for uniform management and linen inventory—deliver real-time visibility into item location, status, and lifecycle. Together, they help organizations reduce replacement costs, improve operational efficiency, and transform textile management into a data-driven operation.
