RFID marking
The RFID technology can be used to ensure a unique identification of certain articles. For this purpose a chip is permanently attached to each garment. Each garment can be assigned unique remarks such as manufacturer, colour and size. Certain processes can be automated by the RFID technology (e.g. autom. accept shirts). The complete article storage can be viewed per customer.
Pre-sorting
This particular workstation can be used as a pure pre-sorting station or for recording ironing hours at the ironing table. All cleaned items are identified via barcode or chip. During inspection of the item, it can be passed on for follow-up treatment. Otherwise the item is assigned to the pre-sorting, which is grouped by orders.
Terminal for distribution of clothes
In addition to the point-of-sale system, a specific output terminal can be used for high traffic stores. Only finished jobs can be distributed at this terminal. It is not possible to accept jobs or take charge of payments.
Customer terminal for master data recording
At the customer terminal, customers can fast and easily register themselves. A simple touch-screen interface is available for recording the key data.
End-sorting
Orders are completed and packed for collection at the end-sorting workstation. The order is assigned a position at the end-sorting belt which is shown when collecting the order.
Linkage to sorting belts and shelves
Automatic linkage by scanning barcodes and chips at pre-sorting and end-sorting.
