Why the Hospitality Sector Needs RFID
Linen management in hotels is a critical function, ensuring each hotel room has linen isn’t as easy as it sounds. With thousands of items in their inventory, hotels have a clear need for automated systems to track and control high volumes of linen.
The hospitality industry is constantly evolving, and technology plays a key role in keeping up with the changes. One technology that has proved to be beneficial in the industry is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
IntelTagRFID (Pty) Ltd, a 100% South African company that is locally designed, implemented, and supported, has developed an RFID Linen, Laundry, and Inventory Management System that streamlines and automates linen and asset movement, laundry operations, cuts labour costs, and provides real-time information that can lower operating expenses.
But what exactly is RFID technology, and how does it benefit the hospitality industry?
RFID technology comprises of hardware, software, RFID tags, and data. With an Inteltag solution, RFID tags are permanently attached to every laundered item, allowing IntelTag’s systems to seamlessly track each item as it moves around the hotel facility
The hospitality industry uses RFID technology to manage linen and laundry in specific environments, with these different basic functionalities:
Laundry
- How many items did I receive?
- How many items did I send?
Hotel Site
- What has the laundry delivered?
- How many items did I send to the laundry?
On-Premises Laundry
- Where are my items?

From the data collected by IntelTag’s system, digitised reporting and analytics are now automated and helps the hospitality create forecasting models for their inventory and assets. After identifying key functional areas where insights and analytics is required, a dashboard is then customisable to their individual business requirements.
