Seamless Tracking & Tracing for Enhanced Efficiency
ABSSolute is fully integrated with all RFID technologies, from LF and HF to the latest UHF RFID innovations. This cutting-edge technology enables laundries to work smarter, faster, and with high accuracy, providing customers with full visibility of their textiles and transport items. By reducing losses and avoiding shortages through customer awareness and, when necessary, automatic loss billing, ABSSolute helps optimize the supply chain while ensuring smooth operations.
With UHF RFID, tracking and traceability become simple. ABSSolute connects to and directly controls all RFID hardware in the network, eliminating the need for third-party software. Washable RFID tags are sewn or heat-sealed into textiles, while rigid tags can be attached to transport items such as carts. Fixed and handheld readers scan the items, allowing laundries to efficiently track distributed and received articles and providing real-time information on stock movements.
Advanced UHF RFID Features for Maximum Control
UHF RFID is fully integrated into ABSSolute, enabling automated scanning throughout multiple workflows. Assisted or unassisted inbound scans automatically count soiled items, while multi-scans track rewashes and single scans ensure accurate handling of repairs. Outbound scans to customers allow items in pools to be tracked by department or point of consumption. Specific reader and antenna configurations at each workstation ensure smooth processing, while stock reception, pool assignments, and new billing options for unreturned items improve operational efficiency.
ABSSolute goes beyond laundry tracking within the facility, extending to monitoring at customer sites. Bluetooth-enabled handheld UHF RFID readers, connected to mobile applications, provide powerful real-time tracking tools for both laundry operators and customers. On-site scanning capabilities include verifying quantities against delivery notes, receiving and dispatching items to the laundry, conducting inventory checks with real-time stock rotation insights, and scanning linen cabinets at predefined levels to automatically trigger replenishment orders. For even greater efficiency, fixed UHF RFID hardware can be installed at loading docks or in linen rooms, enabling automatic scanning of cages and trolleys as they pass through.
Within the laundry, the Buffers & Batches function adds an extra layer of traceability with multiple scanning points, ensuring complete visibility at every production stage. From receiving soiled items to sorting, washing, finishing, and clean storage, UHF RFID continuously updates item status. Real-time buffer monitoring, throughput analysis, and stock availability insights allow for improved production planning and higher efficiency. Automatic rewash alerts prevent repeated processing of the same items, further optimizing resource use.
To guarantee 100% delivery precision, the UHF RFID Stack Check feature verifies scanned items by defining lot sizes per product. This process, performed directly behind folders and stackers, ensures that all items belong to the same product category, size, or customer if required. Virtual lots enable high-speed outbound scanning, automatically identifying incomplete or mixed stacks for correction. Integrated workstation management streamlines operations while ensuring every RFID-tagged item is accounted for before delivery.
The Power of UHF RFID in ABSSolute
With complete inventory control, laundries can track both soiled and clean quantities, whether at the laundry or customer sites. Detailed lifecycle insights help identify premature removals, enabling better quality control and reduced losses. Tracking washes, rewashes, and repairs provides accurate data to support operational decision-making. Faster processing, improved product flow, and reduced investment in textile stock all contribute to more efficient and profitable operations.
ABSSolute integrates seamlessly with a wide range of RFID hardware from leading providers such as HID, Datamars, Impinj, and others, ensuring flexible and reliable RFID tracking solutions.
When implementing UHF RFID from the outset, ABS recommends LCT-Textilligence, a strategic partner and industry leader for high-quality RFID equipment. LCT-Textilligence offers a full range of hardware, including scanning gates, tags, handheld readers, and antennas, while ABSSolute delivers advanced software for precise tracking of all linen and garments. With an experienced installation team that has equipped numerous laundries and understands the complexities of controlled UHF RFID reading in industrial environments, LCT-Textilligence ensures smooth deployment. This seamless integration of innovative hardware and intelligent software enables laundries to optimize efficiency, reduce losses, and maintain full control over textile assets, transforming supply chain management for maximum impact.
With UHF RFID integration in ABSSolute, laundries benefit from streamlined automation, real-time insights, and optimized workflows. By leveraging the latest RFID technologies, businesses can simplify processes, enhance customer satisfaction, and ensure the highest level of operational accuracy.
