RFID in Hospitality

 Hotels, hospitals and laundry facilities require a constant flow of clean linen, bedding, work wear, uniforms and garments.  The hotel industry requires a monumental volume of linen and keeping track of it can be a tedious and time-consuming task, which is prone to error.  The hospitality sector is always looking for ways to enhance their customer experience.  Customer service is at the heart of hospitality and that entails matters like guest safety and security, product quality and the enhanced experience of the guest.  Hotels have to ensure that a customer has a delightful experience so that guests return and make their hotel their home.  An enhanced guest experience helps in creating brand loyalty.   Although RFID was once considered an expensive and incomprehensible technology, radio frequency technology has steadily climbed the popularity charts over the years. The hospitality sector has now begun to realize the benefits that RFID technology offers and that by engaging with innovative technologies, it not only enhances the customer experience but also lets them stand out in a competitive environment. Therefore, it is not surprising that more and more hotels are adopting RFID solutions. 

RFID in Healthcare

 The management of linen and garments in healthcare can be extremely complicated because it is mostly manually operated by hospital staff.  Collecting, sorting, and tracking of linen and laundry processes are labour-intensive tasks and human error easily occurs leading to item loss and increased costs for replacing missing items.  All of which adds to operational costs for laundry operators.  There are a number of complicated challenges involved with medical linen and uniforms which include linen loss, cross-contamination hazards, compliance with government regulations, staff training, and fluctuations in inventory requirements.  In addition, handling soiled laundry could expose staff to various infectious disease.  With these challenges in mind, healthcare laundries and medical facilities are infiltrating a new technology called radio-frequency identification (RFID) to help streamline inventory management and medical textile processing.  Inteltag’s RFID systems can minimise your costs, enhance your facilities image and improves overall patient and staff satisfaction.  With state-of-the-art systems and technology, Inteltag sets the standard for healthcare linen management systems. 

RFID in Mining

 Mining industries can manage work wear in harsh environments, assist in improving personnel safety and track assets by using IntelTag’s RFID solutions.  IntelTagRFID specialises in uniform, laundry and inventory management systems within industrial environments.  RFID allows companies to serialise garments and inventory, thus allowing each item to be tracked and reported on throughout the life span of the item.  Compliance to safety regulations and the management of Personal Protective Equipment is an important aspect of mining. Inteltag RFID provides a uniform management system that is automated and designed to track and manage PPE items.  IntelTag RFID Solutions are optimisable and may be synchronized with various interfaces like the miner’s cards for example. Specialised reports are generated and authorised employees can log onto the system in real time to access records or reports.  IntelTag’s System may generate important reports like:  Miner’s Log: Real time status and movement of personnel  Exception Reports: This generates a log of alarms with time, date and locations where miners attempted to enter a restricted location, or enter and exit certain areas with or without the relevant PPE items.  PPE Register: A report that generates the date, time and location of where PPE items have been added or removed. This report is also capable of tracking PPE items that are faulty or have been sent in for refurbishment or repair.  Automated tracking and tracing of Miners and PPE Items 

RFID in Food Manufacturing

 many garments your employees take every day, where the garments are and how clean they are?  Another scenario could be what happens when hundreds of people fall ill after eating a particular brand of food? The manufacturer will most likely take the precaution of pulling every single product—whether that product is affected or not —from the shelves of every store to prevent further incidents. While this is just a hypothetical situation, food recalls are very common and seem to happen daily. And, their effects can be catastrophic.  To keep consumers safe and mitigate risks, comply with the ever-increasing industry regulations, and lessen (if not prevent) recalls, more food and beverage manufacturers are implementing innovative technologies. This technology is radio frequency identification (RFID).  Industry leaders tell us that they have a challenge in managing their uniform logistics and that work garments go missing or disappears. Employees are at times required to wash their own garments however, under these unsupervised conditions, garments are not washed under the correct heat and are not sterilised correctly. In effect, a shortage of work wear can lead to high replacement costs and major hygiene deficiencies. IntelTag RFID solutions eliminates theft by providing an accurate reporting of missing items which allows for proactive loss control management.
