HID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, recently announced the addition of its industry and logistics SlimFlex™ Laundry tag solution to the expanding SlimFlex Tag family of broadband UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders. This introduction provides integrators with a rich feature-set of RFID tags that deliver the characteristics of the SlimFlex tag’s durability and flexibility in a format ideal for automated tracking and inventory for commercial laundry and health care linens and supplies.
HID Global’s SlimFlex Laundry tags withstand the chemical exposure and high temperatures of repeated commercial washing, drying and pressing cycles, as well as medical-grade sterilisation procedures. The small, thin, flexible white strip-shaped tag can be discreetly sewn into the hem of clothing or linens, unnoticeable to users during everyday operations. With a long read range of up to 8.2 ft. (2.5 m), SlimFlex Laundry tags enable automated sorting, inventory and accounting for commercial cleaners, and improved tracking and infection control processes for health care linens and supplies.
