Revolutionizing Inventory Management: The Crown RFID Advantage

In the world of uniform and linen services, staying ahead of the curve means leveraging cutting-edge technology to deliver superior service and streamline operations. At Crown, we’ve taken this principle to heart with our innovative RFID chipped inventory system, transforming how we manage and deliver our services.

Let’s dive into how our technology works and the benefits it brings to our customers.

How the RFID Chipped Inventory System Works

The journey of every piece of linen or uniform begins at Crown’s warehouse. Here, items are equipped with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips and assigned to specific customers. This advanced tagging system allows us to track each product seamlessly from delivery to return.

Here’s the streamlined process:

Delivery: Route representatives deliver clean, pressed linens or garments to customers.
Usage: Customers use the linens throughout the week.
Collection and Scanning: Soiled linens are picked up and brought back to the Crown processing facility, where their RFID chips are scanned to confirm return.
Washing and Reassignment: Items are cleaned, inspected, and prepared for reassignment, completing the cycle.

Benefits of RFID Technology
RFID technology doesn’t just make tracking easier—it transforms inventory management into a data-driven, customer-focused process. Here’s how it helps:

Real-Time Inventory Insights: Weekly “In Service” reports provide customers with a detailed view of their current inventory, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
Data-Driven Usage Reports: These reports analyze usage trends, enabling Crown to proactively adjust inventory levels and cater to customer needs.
Optimized Inventory Management: Automated soil tracking and reissuance eliminate shortages, keeping customers fully stocked without unnecessary overages.
Loss Reporting: Accurate tracking helps identify missing items, allowing Crown to replace them quickly and maintain an adequate backup inventory.

A Cycle of Excellence

Every chipped item undergoes rigorous tracking and care. Whether it’s a uniform for an employee or a clean set of linens for a patient room, the RFID chip ensures that the product meets Crown’s high standards and is always where it needs to be. This meticulous process not only guarantees customer satisfaction but also supports sustainability by reducing waste and optimizing resource use.

The Future of Linen and Uniform Services

With the RFID chipped inventory system, Crown sets the standard for uniform and linen services across New England. This technology enables us to deliver unmatched efficiency, reliability, and customization. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, food & nutrition department, or an ambulatory offsite, Crown’s innovative approach ensures you get the products you need, when you need them.
