As a service provider, Positek RFID understands the importance of RFID technology in the linen, uniform, and laundry industry. RFID tags track the location and status of each item as it goes through the laundry process. They provide laundries with real-time visibility of their inventory. However, are RFID tags washer and dryer safe?

RFID Usage in Washers and Dryers

So, are RFID tags washer and dryer safe? Many tags aren’t suitable for use in washers in dryers. However, Positek offers a variety that are safe for washer and dryer use. Here’s what we do to ensure our tags are useful in industrial laundries:

Varying Tags

First, it’s important to understand that not all RFID tags are the same. The type of RFID tag used and the environment in which it is used can impact its durability and safety. Positek uses high-quality RFID tags that are uniquely designed to withstand the rigors of the commercial laundry process. Our RFID tags use durable materials and undergo testing to ensure that they can withstand industrial laundry conditions. This includes high temperatures, pressures, and concentrations of chemicals.

Design Efficiency

Additionally, our RFID tags are small and lightweight, which means that they will not cause damage to the laundry equipment or to the items being laundered. They are also resistant to water, heat, and chemicals, so they will not become damaged or stop working when exposed to these elements.

The Right Options

It’s important to note that not all RFID tags are suitable for all laundries and different RFID tags have different capabilities. Some RFID tags are not suitable for high-temperature or high-pressure washing and others may have lower read ranges or a more limited lifespan. Positek RFID will provide you with the right type of tag for your specific application. We will also provide technical support to ensure proper and efficient usage of the tags.

Installation Support

Furthermore, it is also important to note that RFID tags should be properly attached to the items that need to be tracked. They should be placed in a way that minimizes contact with water, chemicals, and heat as well as not being able to fall off during the laundry process. Positek will help along every step of the way, with a customer service team that will answer any questions you may have.
