Innovative Linen Technology
Leading Through Innovations
Linen supplied to our customers for many years now has included a small RFID chip. This chip is the key to unlocking enormous potential for both SPL and our customers by simplifying and automating many aspects of the linen supply chain. So, after years of investment, data collection, auditing, testing and trials, the functionality of RFID will progressively be introduced from mid-2021 to help us guarantee supply to our customers through daily hire linen or automated delivery.
The technology integrates across our linen inventory, monitoring the lifecycle and health of each piece of linen from purchasing, through daily use, to end of life. Our system identifies and records linen and laundry trolleys, each time they pass an SPL calibrated reader. This enables us to monitor linen quality, age, where it was last used and where it needs to go next, while also significantly improving traceability for health or quality purposes.
