Textile tag
An identifier carried by the linen. Attachment, pressure, chemistry and temperature limits must be checked with the supplier.
TECHNOLOGY THAT WORKS ON THE FLOOR
Connect textiles to your information system.
RFID identifies an item at a reading point. It does not provide continuous GPS positioning. Tracking quality depends on the equipment and the events actually recorded.
FROM TEXTILE TO INSIGHT
Identify
An RFID tag connects each textile to a unique reference.
Read
A reader captures identifiers at defined checkpoints.
Track
Linid connects readings to items, stock and movements.
Understand
Histories and reports help highlight discrepancies.
Handheld reader
For reading at multiple locations. The Zebra RFD40 is an example of a handheld UHF reader; its host device and configuration must be compatible.

Fixed reader
For a defined checkpoint. The Zebra FX9600 is a fixed UHF reader; antennas and the reading zone are designed around the site.

Readings become movements when linked to a context. Duplicate, exceptional and out-of-zone reads require handling.
Before selecting equipment
- Test representative carts and textiles, both dry and damp.
- Define zones to avoid reading neighbouring batches.
- Check locally permitted frequency bands and configuration.
- Plan connectivity, user roles and recovery procedures.
01How does RFID linen tracking work?
Each item carries a tag with an identifier. A reader detects it and the platform connects it to an item and an event, such as a receipt. Tracking depends on the reading points installed.
02Can tags withstand industrial washing?
Tags designed for washable textiles are available. Durability depends on the model, attachment, temperature, pressure and chemicals. Test with your actual process before a wider rollout.
03Do we need to tag all our linen at once?
A pilot with a defined scope lets you check readability and working routines. Expansion can then follow the results observed and your operational needs.
04Which equipment should we choose?
A handheld reader supports work across locations; a fixed installation suits a recurring checkpoint. Your environment, volumes and tests determine the right choice.
