Interhospitalia: linen stock control that allows identification of linen lifespan and losses


Challenge:

Interhospitalia is an industrial laundry with a production capacity of 20 tons per day, serving over 22 hospitals. Previously, Interhospitalia did not have a centralized linen service; each client had its own linen. This setup led to stock availability issues, resulting in low turnover, excess inventory, and a lack of knowledge about the location of these stocks, among other problems.

Solution:

As a result, the director of Interhospitalia considered implementing a textile traceability system that would allow them to offer better service to their clients and increase productivity. This solution consists of an RFID portal at the laundry entrance, reading points in the washing tunnels, and a shipping cabin. The solution implemented in the laundry is complemented by the use of mobile devices running the Ubi Laundry application.
