TAGSYS announced that it has successfully deployed a complete RFID infrastructure at Cannes' Hospital Laundry (BIH). The new system provides end-to-end traceability of the hospital garments handled by the laundry.
To date, over 36,000 hospital-issued uniforms have been equipped with TAGSYS' ARIO 70-TL RFID tag, a unique small and rigid tag that is able to resist repeated exposure to water, heat and chemicals.
Cannes' BIH is responsible for the cleaning and management of staff uniforms for three local hospitals in total – Cannes, Antibes and Grasse. Previously, this was a labor-intensive process with individual employees counting each uniform manually as it entered the facility.
To improve efficiency and increase performance standards, TAGSYS' RFID technology was chosen by Cannes' BIH to optimize the traceability of hospital uniforms. With the new solution, uniforms are able to be routinely traced and recorded for inventory as they enter the facility with an automatic garment dispenser, resulting in the improvement of work conditions and decreased handling costs.
"At Cannes' BIH, TAGSYS equipped the library with a cost effective system that offers the hospital an innovative system to precisely track and trace uniforms,” said Elie Simon, CEO of TAGSYS. “By leveraging the latest in item-level RFID technology, BIH and the hospitals it services benefit from a highly reliable, accurate and secure technology to pioneer a new level of value to the industrial laundries sector.”
