[ACUITY]: Fully integrated and scalable inventory visibility system for textile assets

TAGSYS brings over 15 years expertise in RFID systems’ design and deployment within the textile rental service industry. As a pioneer and market leader in UHF RFID technology, TAGSYS has acquired the necessary know-how in laundry business processes to provide a superior inventory management system called [ACUITY] that answers the exact needs of our customers.

In addition to eliminating labor-intensive manual tasks (i.e. soiled linen hand-count) and to accelerating laundry operations, [ACUITY] leverages RFID and wireless technologies to help laundry operators accurately identify and register hundreds of items and data events instantly to provide real-time inventory information and reports on actual linen location, usage and life-cycle.

This valuable information can be acted upon to help reduce textile losses and abuses, and save on new purchases and monitor your laundry processes.
