In Bed with RFID

When you think about a companys inventory, you may envision pallets full of boxes stacked high in a warehouse. But for high-end hotels, an important inventory category is the high-thread-count linens in every guest room. Luxury bedding can cost hundreds of dollars, so hotel managers need to closely track every sheet and pillowcase. At the recently opened LUMA Hotel Times Square, managers use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to do just that. The hotel installed a system created by InvoTech Systems that tracks each of the hotels 15,000 linen items using RFID-enabled laundry carts. The system allows LUMA to eliminate the daily task of sorting and hand counting all the different types of linens. Each piece of linen the hotel orders comes with a washable RFID tag that allows the hotel to track every item to and from its laundry. Making sure that it has just the right amount of linen in stock helps LUMA hold down costs while delighting its guests.
