Acuity for Industrial Laundries

With clear visibility into your customer linen stocks, you can focus on reducing your total cost of operation and on making relevant business decisions.

Acuity, HID Textile Service’s linen management platform, enables you to automatically count and trace your linen in real time at each step of the laundry cycle and at your customer sites.

Placed strategically throughout your laundry plant, RFID-enabled fixed and mobile equipment specifically designed for rough and challenging industrial laundry environments (e.g., humidity, heat, rough handling) collect data from RFID tags discreetly embedded in the linen.
