Hotel Laundry Automation
Our automated laundry is a productive, efficient laundry. The Linen Group’s investment into automation technology has significantly reduced our operating costs for hotel linen laundry service which is why we can bring you the highest quality product and laundry service at very competitive pricing. 
Each piece of linen is installed with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag holds the following information; what item of linen it is installed in, where it was last scanned, how many times it has been washed – the info graphic below demonstrates the laundry process.

The Benefits Of Automation of Hotel Linen Laundry Service
A transparent, reliable invoicing process
RFID provides accountability for all products through the entire laundry process.
Guaranteed stock quality; stock is removed after a specified number of washes.
100% accuracy on delivered quantity and colours; what you order, you receive. The order cannot be completed on the system until the exact order is scanned out.
Inventory cost savings; the automated process means customers will need less inventory in storage.
Stock takes will take place within minutes (using handheld scanners) rather than days.
View signed delivery notes online, check past orders, re-print invoices, view account history.
Access our systems 24/7 to input orders, increase or decrease on-site stock level or amend quantities.
“Towels were particularly notable as very fluffy – in a good way. Better towels than most hotels. Stick with these towels!
