The characteristics of UHF chips are not currently a limiting factor for the success of traceability projects in Industrial Laundries.

The key factor in the huge ratio of truncated/unsuccessful UHF RFID projects worldwide is now the limitations of reading devices.

In 2014 we designed a new line of portals capable of consolidating our know-how of almost a decade in RFID.

The result exceeded our own expectations. The following are exclusive features:

• Reading power: 49 dBi (…the most powerful Laundry-RFID portal on the market)
• Mobile antennas, which perform a longitudinal scan, scanning the entire car.
  Insulation by electric in/out roller blinds, to save time and space and not to alter the direction of travel of the row of carriages. Only the clothes inside the portal are read.
• Read error value: 0 %, depending on the environmental conditions, on trolleys loaded with small clothes.
• Microprocessor board developed by ISG-Alexa. It’s the Portal’s brain. It is equipped with Arduino and/or Raspberry microcontrollers, and software developed by Alexa in C++ language integrated in the card. It activates the antenna and curtain motors and is capable of controlling all kinds of sensors, scales and the connection to Alexa or any other competing software.
• Intelligent reconciliation (input-output). Real-time anomaly alerts (e.g. different customers’ clothes, differences, missing clothes, clothes without chips, incorrect PEPS rotation order, etc., etc.).
• Printing of automatic documentation (Dispatch Guides, Work Orders, Symmetrical Exchange Guides).
• Premium model with electronic scale, for reconciliation of quantity read VS. hypothetical weight, for the detection of clothing without chip.
• Wireless control tablet, easy to use for lower profile users.
