Apa itu Label RFID Laundry ?

Label RFID Laundry UHF adalah tag yang dipasang pada linen atau handuk untuk identifikasi dengan sistem RFID Laundry  yang nantinya mencatat pergerakan dari proses masuk ke tempat pencucian, sterilisasi, pengeringan dan penyimpanan

• Ukuran label ini 17mm x 15mm x 1,5mm, pas untuk berbagai linen dan bisa ukuran custom

• Label dapat bekerja di suhu antara 25 sampai 110, 180 derajat celcius untuk penyetrikaan dan tahan hingga 200 kali pencucian.

• Bagaimana cara pemasangannya? 

  Dengan cara di jahit di linen atau handuk, dijahit secara langsung atau dibuatkan kantong kecil khusus dengan kain kemudian kantong kecil tersebut dijahit di linen

• Cocok dipakai di Laundry Rumah sakit, hotel dan GYM maupun tempat lain yang dalam proses pencuciannya ada proses sterilisasi, pengeringan dan penyetrikaan dengan suhu tinggi

Environmental Resistance

The tag is built to survive the standard "tunnel washer" and finishing cycle:

* Washing: 90°C for 15 minutes.

* Pre-drying: Up to 180°C for 30 minutes.

* Ironing: 180°C for 10 seconds.

* Sterilization: 135°C for 20 minutes (Autoclave compatible).

* Chemicals: Resistant to all standard industrial laundry detergents and chemicals.

To help you build a complete RFID system around the NXP UCODE 9 tag from your image, here is a guide on selecting compatible readers and how this tag compares to other common options.

------------------------------

Compatible RFID Readers

The EPC Class1 Gen2 (ISO18000-6C) protocol, it is compatible with most standard UHF RFID readers. Since these tags are for laundry, you typically need two types of hardware:

Handheld Readers (For Mobile Inventory) Best for scanning bins of linens or uniforms on racks.

Fixed Readers (For Automated Portals)

Best for "gate" systems where laundry bags pass through a doorway or onto a truck.

The UCODE 9 chip in your tag is one of the most advanced on the market. Here is how it stacks up against its predecessors and competitors:

| Feature | NXP UCODE 9 (Your Tag) | NXP UCODE 8 (Older Gen) | Alien Higgs-3 (Common) |

| Sensitivity | -24 dBm (Excellent) | -23 dBm | -20 dBm (Standard) |

| Read Speed | Very Fast (Optimized for density) | Fast | Standard |

| Best For | Large volumes of laundry | Retail/Supply Chain | Basic Asset Tracking |

| Memory | 96-bit EPC | 128-bit EPC | 96-bit EPC + 512-bit User |

Key Takeaway: The UCODE 9’s high sensitivity (-24 dBm) means it can be read from further away or through more layers of fabric than older chips

Critical Performance Factors

When deploying these tags, keep these environmental factors in mind:

* Liquid Interference: UHF signals (860-960MHz) are absorbed by water. For the best accuracy, scan laundry when it is dry rather than wet.

* Tag Placement: For "sewn-in" tags, ensure they are placed in a consistent location (e.g., the bottom hem) to help the reader find them quickly.

* Bulk Scanning: Because these tags have "anti-collision" technology, a good reader can scan hundreds of them in seconds, even if they are bundled together.
