Fujitsu Enhances Its Industry-Leading UHF RFID Linen Tag for High Temperature Linen Processing

Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. has announced today that it has improved the durability of its industry-leading WT-A522 linen tag when used in high temperature commercial laundry systems servicing the healthcare market. The improved linen tag targets laundries in Europe and other locations that service healthcare facilities who integrate industrial Autoclaves in their processes. The improved product, available this quarter, will maintain the same high readability antenna design which has made it the “go-to” linen tag for bulk reading garment and linen applications worldwide. Fujitsu will debut the improved WT-A522 tag the EXPOdetergo International in Milan, Italy, from October 3-6 at the Fiera Milano Exhibition Center in Rho – Milan, Hall 2, booth number B21.

The Fujitsu UHF RFID linen tags are extremely soft, flexible and durable. Because of their small size, they can easily be inserted into the seam of linens and be virtually unnoticeable to the user. This makes them ideal for tracking flat linens and garments used in hospital, hotel and hospitality applications. Able to withstand the harsh chemicals associated with laundry and dry cleaning, temperatures of 140 degrees Celsius (285 degrees Fahrenheit) and the pressure of flat linen pressing and water extraction systems, the tag’s unique antenna design allows for high density bulk reading of more than 1000 tags with high accuracy. This allows linen rental groups to ensure that they have accurate accounting of their deliveries to customers as well as recouping any lost inventory.
