How RFID tags in your sheets help you get a better night's sleep

Next time you're in a hotel, have a look inside the seams of the sheets; you might very well feel an RFID chip that's been sown in there," says Duncan Macmillan, IT Director at Berendsen, the FTSE 250 company that provides industrial laundry services for hotels, hospitals, and work-wear, and ships out a million items from 50 sites across the UK every single day. Berendsen's history can be traced back over 160 years, and for the vast majority of that time its activities remained a manual process. This meant that sometimes, especially when dealing with large quantities of items being processed and cleaned, it could be difficult to keep track of everything.
