Details about the IntelTag Linen System
IntelTag integrates state-of-the-art RFID technology that enables full control of uniform and linen inventory while it eliminates the need to sort, hand count or scan items individually. The system is easy to use and streamlines daily processes and allows operators the ability to instantly identify and record hundreds of linen and uniforms in seconds using the RFID technology. The IntelTag laundry system uses RFID technology to eliminate human error and manual tasks. It gives operators full control and accurate information is always readily available. The System allows for real – time information on what has transpired with every reading. In other words, what type of transaction has occurred and when and where it occurred.
Our RFID tags are attached to every single uniform that uniquely identifies each individual uniform item. The RFID tags can be read in a range of up to 6 feet from the RFID equipment with accuracy. The RFID tags can withstand laundry processes for at least 200 wash cycles. This includes washing, drying, pressing and extreme laundry requirements like high – pressure water extractors and sterilization. IntelTag provides RFID tags that can be heat-sealed or pre-inserted into fabric pouches that can be sewn into uniforms. RFID tags are most commonly provided to uniform suppliers to attach the tag during the manufacturing process.
IntelTag provides the appropriate RFID equipment that is customised according to each customers operational requirements and unique environments. We also assist our customers in determining the appropriate location for the RFID installation that will most efficiently process the various system features.
The RFID equipment is configured by the IntelTag software for optimal accuracy and performance.

IntelTag provides Portable Handheld RFID readers for accurate yet flexible uniform inventory tracking. The portable handhels RFID reader users IntelTag’s software to increase productivity by saving time during the uniform processing procedures.
The portable handheld RFID reader’s main function is to track laundry activity and taking physical inventory, however, the portable device may also be used for adding and deleting uniform inventory.
The wireless capabilities are particularly useful in the healthcare industry when contaminated uniforms are being processed, The handheld reader communicates directly with the central IntelTag database via WIFI and transmits data wirelessly for instant updates. If WIFI is not available, the handheld reader functions in “batch – mode” which allows limited functionalities and then data is then downloaded at a later stage to the IntelTag database.
The IntelTag Uniform System integrates biometric and card technology that offers comprehensive access control as well as time and attendance features based on the latest biometric technology and security platforms. This establishes employee accountability for uniform assignments and sales.
The system is paperless and reports can be viewed on the screen or generated into a file format like excel or PDF which can be mailed instead of printed
The IntelTag Uniform System easily interfaces with the IntelTag Laundry System thus enabling laundry operations to also benefit from the RFID tags that are in the uniforms. Information is interchanged between the systems so as to provide complete inventory tracking throughout the laundry process which also eliminates disputes and discrepancies with the laundry.
The IntelTag Uniform System can interface its solutions with the highest quality conveyor systems that automatically deliver uniforms to employees. The IntelTag solution gives uniform and employee details to the conveyors so that customers can track which uniforms have been assigned to each employee. The RFID technology on the automated conveyors updates the IntelTag Uniform System and specifies which uniforms have been allocated, collected and returned by employees. Besides the cost saving benefits provided by the IntelTag Uniform System, the automated conveyor system provides additional cost saving benefits for our customers.
