Clean laundry to standard
Laundry processes are difficult to keep track of, with some pieces requiring special treatment. Data about the type of cleaning that has taken place can be encoded into the RAIN RFID tag as actions are completed to guarantee laundry is done to standard every time.
Ensure delivery to the correct customer
Because things like linens, towels, and robes, may look alike from one client to another, it can be difficult to ensure that freshly laundered items end up at the right location. Identify the origins of tagged laundry and ensure each client receives the correct linens.
