SITRAX: Using tech to track your garments
It’s a familiar scene: After you wash, dry and fold a load of laundry, you find yourself furiously searching for that one missing item. You’re not sure if you lost it on the way to the laundry room, if the dog got ahold of it, or if it disappeared within a mythical black hole during the spin cycle. At SITEX, we don’t face this problem. We have SITRAX!
Born as a way to make our business more accountable and efficient, SITRAX is SITEX’s automated sorting and tracking system that uses barcode and radio frequency technology to track garments, mats, and other items through item preparation, laundry processing, and all the way to delivery at your business. SITRAX uses RFID technology, or radio-frequency identification technology, because it’s conveniently small, practically indestructible and, most importantly, very accurate.
The RFID tags we use are attached to our items in the same way a tag would be attached to your shirt. The technology uses electromagnetic fields to wirelessly transfer data to identify and track objects. Tiny but powerful pieces of technology, you can see RFID tags in action in various industries. The size of a grain of rice, this is the same type of chip commonly used in microchipping family pets in order to help identify them if they get lost. The tags we use are resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, fluids, industrial detergents and high pressure. Whatever you put your garments through, these tags can handle it.
By using this technology within SITRAX, we can quickly and accurately take inventory, track an item within our facility, monitor the life of a garment and number of repairs, and flag items for replacement. All of this leads to better accountability, complete accuracy, better customer satisfaction, and lower costs for our valued customers.
Our team members, our technology, and our products make the difference. We have the best, most skilled, and well-trained team members in the industry and we’ve developed the best systems, like SITRAX, to guarantee quality assurance and no more missing garments.
